I'm thinking it's a 99-04 car. But someone swapped out the VIN from a '94 (for cheaper insurance & to be emissions exempt). I could be wrong ..... :shrug:
exactly!!! theres traction control, and every interior piece, and the motor and all the **** for it is placed perfectly....it just isnt like a worthwhile thing to spend money on!!! the amount of $ involved to do that swap is TREMENDOUS!!! this guy is a ****:mad:
 
Maybe someone wil remember this but a company named Dugan Mustang or Dugan Racing or something like that did the same thing a few years back. The company changed names but did and still does have a full page ad in the mustang mags. Their catalog was called "The Mustang Bible". I know some of you have heard of them.

Anyways when the new edge mustang came out they took a 94-98 mustang and put on all the newer sheetmetal, its the same car, just some different mounting points but for the most part the same. They had a larger collision & repair center so they had the expertise to do the conversion. Looked sweet and I think it was just something either a customer wanted or they did to promote their company. I don't think they showed this in their ads but there was some pics and write up in their catalog. I think their car was red though not silver.

Let me know if anyone has a clue what I am talking about, but I think that is what was done here.

why use a cobra vin tho? Insurance would skyrocket compared to a gt:shrug:
A 94 Cobra will be cheaper to insure than say a 02 Mustang GT. Stay far away from cars that seem fishy or might have had their vins swapped. Here is an example of the worst case scenario. http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=246341 The vin was of a GT and he was told it had a complete cobra swap. When in fact it was a real Cobra.

Is it just me, or does that look like a V6?
I don't know the Mod motors well at all. But that really does look like a V6 to me. Does anyone else see the same? There is enough room between the accessories and the radiator for a secondary trunk - the engine sits so far back. Kinda looks like its missing 2 cylinders.
