Its modified

Gauges
Painted interior bits
A/C Knobs
No Pulley Guard
Brakes arent factory yellow

And I've never seen a 5L Cobra. :D

I would bank hard on being modified & returned to stock. But who cares, impossible to find one of these cars stock, and if you do find one they want 30k+. Snag it up, but as with buying ANY used car, have a stash set back for 'oh shit now I gotta fix this' scenarios.

At first glance, what is not stock is the following: Gauges, HVAC Control knobs, Head Unit, Fuel Pressure Sending device, Idlers, Pulley Guard missing and a Sub Box in the Trunk. Get a compression test done and check the clutch for slippage.

Idk... ever car is different. But I wouldn't want to pay more than 17kish for a car like that.

Of course that's site unseen just glancing at the pictures.

Red flag #1. 22k for a 66k mile car

Oh, we need a thumbs down button lol.

These cars are only getting older. A 66k mile Cobra really isn't that bad.

I have NOT clicked on the link, but $22K for a Cobra with 66K miles seems about right to me.

Go ahead and disagree. The ones who disagrees will be the same ones who say drive it like you stole it, but then say high mileage Cobras are over priced.

Can't have it both ways.

There is no way I'd pay that price for that mileage unless it had well done solid mods.

That's 18k if mechanically sound in my opinion.

I'm biased though, I put value on the mods more than others.

He's asking 23 so he probably gave 17 for the car.
Is 23k or more your budget?
I'd suggest, slow down & find a car on this forum in the market section vs a used car lot. Solely because you can talk to the owner, get vids & pics.
Once you're comfortable, pull the trigger. I've purchased 4 Cobra's from this forum. After doing my homework prior, all was good.

What bothers me the most is the side cobras facing backwards. I can see a lot of the changes there being the previous owner's taste in doing little updates here and there. But the Cobras - why make them face the wrong way?

Yeah I saw that.

He had it posted at 23. He must have bumped up the price when it didnt sell the first time
