I work on the road, and with my job I get to know alot of the land owners.. For the past few months I have been in northern Ia and have met this guy who buys different cars and peices them together, he has several different mustangs, bullits and a cobra sitting in his yard. He found the cobra frame/drivetrain with all cosmetic body/shell damage, but perfect frame (only 9k mi on it?). The panels he took off a stripped cobra that had a blown motor...
Anyway, the car is in awesome shape, the guy and his son do a really good job with these cars, the only problem is the cobra has a tick coming from the motor during warm up from a cold start, after 5-10 min it goes away... maybe a lifter or something from the car having sat for a while? Besides that, its a cobra, and my GT just isnt doin it for me anymore, lol..
I dont know what a decent price would be for it, he wants 15k? its an 04 body and drivetrain, complete bassani exhaust, headers and all, 11lb pulley? c/a and a couple other parts, the thing screams ! Should I dare consider it?
My GT now has a salvage title from my accident, so that part doesnt bother me too much, and this guy knows what he's doing..
I really want a cobra, so I came here to see if any of you could help make up my mind, thanks for any replies!
