    Insurance for a 17 year old?

    Ouch, that is a lot of money to part with each month! Sorry to hear about that. Where are you finding these used Cobra's, I can't find em' anywhere around here. I've got modifications picked out already too, and a sound system already planned out.

    Highway Patrol Camaros

    All V8 F-bodies had the corvette engine in them. LT1 and LS1 were stock Corvette motors. Only Corvettes that have different engines are ZO6's which have the LS6 or LT4. Some special edition 97' Camaro's were available with the LT4 engine. It's very unlikely a police camaro has anything other...

    Insurance for a 17 year old?

    I'll have it under my parents policy, which includes 4 cars already, plus our home owners insurance, so I can expect a discount thanks to all that. Thanks!

    Insurance for a 17 year old?

    Nicolae88 - Did you find/buy a 97' Cobra? Care to share how much it cost(s)? Luckily my parents pay for my gas, so that's not a problem. My girlfriend knows I need a new car, and she already told me she wouldn't mind not going out as much if I had to save money for car expenses. I've...

    Insurance for a 17 year old?

    I live in Story City, just 10 miles north of Ames, or 45 miles north of Des Moines. And yes, I'm sure the fact that I live in a small town contributes to the low cost.

    Highway Patrol Camaros

    Some LT1 B4C's had a/c delete, and some had a radio delete, there might be some other deletions I can't recall right now. The LS1 B4C's are almost identical to regular Z28's, pretty much just unbadged Z's really. They came with a higher amp alternator to compensate for the added electronics...

    Highway Patrol Camaros

    The police issue camaro is known as the B4C Camaro if I'm not mistaken. It really isn't much different from a stock Z28. Only differences might be some weight reduction, and safety/reliability features. Don't quote me though.

    Insurance for a 17 year old?

    I didn't plan on paying the abo:taco:e minimum by any means, i was just comparing the quotes for the minimum. Sorry to mislead you. I plan on getting at least some kind of collision and vandalism coverage, and definately medical coverage. I totally agree with you though. Thanks!

    Insurance for a 17 year old?

    I find it hard to believe that a teenage son will triple the cost of the families insurance. When I turned 16 the cost of insurance on all of our cars and the motorcycle barely went up. We signed up for all the discounts and I even did this log book thing, where I would log 30 different trips...

    Interested in a Cobra

    I would really like to keep it under $8,000. I don't plan on getting one right away, i'd like to wait until about mid-summer when I have more money saved up, and then if I have to, I would get a loan for the remainder. Even if the 5.0's are easier to mod I think I like that stock 300...

    Insurance for a 17 year old?

    I just called my state farm agent and they can do just liability for $35/month! Progressive's qoute was over $300/month just got liability?!? Doesn't make much sense, but oh well. According my SF agent the price of insurance drops off huge when you turn 19, so your in luck. Thanks

    Insurance for a 17 year old?

    I don't intend to go as far as full coverage, just liability to start out with. Can anyone give me an estimate as to how much just liability will run? Also can someone please tell me how much I can expect spending on a 96' Cobra? According to Edmunds.com a 96' Cobra will run anywhere...

    Insurance for a 17 year old?

    Hey guys, I'm thinking about getting a 1996 Cobra, but want to make sure I'll be able to afford the insurance before I get serious. Does anyone have any idea how much insurance would cost for me? I'm 17, good student discount, live in Iowa in a small town, no accidents, no tickets. I...

    Interested in a Cobra

    I personally like the 94+ body style, but why is it that you prefer the 93'? Missouri guy: Sites were just what I was looking for! Thanks

    Interested in a Cobra

    I have recently become interested in Mustangs and would like to know more about Cobra's. I currently know absolutely nothing at all about Mustangs, all I know is that I want a 94+ Cobra.. Can anyone tell me about them, or direct me to a website that is full of Cobra facts? I would like to...
