1993 Cobra

[Old Skooler]

Just checking to see what everyone thinks a 93 cobra is worth, meaning what would you pay. Yesterday I looked a a 93 with 34k miles and spotless, not a scratch ding or dent, it had cloth black interior not grey leather so I thought that was strange. Only mods were a B cam, pro charger on 8 lbs and ported stock heads. Dyno sheets ha the car at 350 rwhp and 363 lbs tq, which I thought was a little high but within reach. A/C worked beautifully, he saved the original rims and tires and has a set of real cobra R on.

Price tag 19 K after negotiating he said if I pick it up this weekend 17k. I really looked at this car and couldn't find anything wrong with it, this car was really cared

If I paid that much for a 93 it would have to be an unmolested stocker. That's a lot of coin for a fox.

You're getting into terminator territory at that price tag...I'd pass unless the sentimental factor overcame me.

 

[stykthyn]

in my area thats deep into termi territory.

 

[Old Skooler]

In NY the Termi's are averaging 23500. If you find one cheaper its tossed up. I've been looking for one in the teens for a year. That said there isn't a huge market here for the foxes, everyone wants to keep up with the jones and buy new.

So would you say a fair price in the area of 13 which is what I was comfortable spending.

 

[stykthyn]

I see 93 cobras pop up in my area regularly in the 10-15k range depending on condition. If I was looking at spending that kind of cash on a fox I think a saleen would be a better purchase.

I know location is everything but here is one that has popped up on my CL several times over the last few months. Too modded for my taste, but it is a lot of car.

High retail out my way is high $13k to low $14k with factory air. That assumes near mint to mint condition.

 

[stykthyn]

wasnt aware a true cobra has A/C? I thought it was stripped down for race duty hence the cloth LX interior?

I'm no 93 Cobra expert but I recall some came with factory air or you get it dealer installed. Perhaps you're thinking Cobra R?

 

[stykthyn]

could be, dont quote me on the no air part.

1993 Cobra

Then there's the 93 Cobra R

Racer in the box for the time. No frills, slightly more HP, and stripped down. This one is missing the chrome center caps.

That's the Cobra R.


Real Cobra has all the options as a regular 5.0 LX/GT except cruise control. No clue why Ford felt cobra owners didn't need cruise control

17k is a bit high IMO for a modded car, but at the same time if it is that clean...

10K and down seems to get you a "driver" which means higher mileage, imperfections, accident history or a branded title.

As far as them getting close to terminator range - I don't know how many potential '93 Cobra owners are cross shopping them with the terminator. We all know that performance wise the 03-04 will demolish the 93, but performance isn't the only reason people buy a car.

Agree
