So it's official. My SY 04 Cobra is totaled. Water up to the dash. Pulling motor and transmission but was curious what everyone thought the roller might be worth.

04 SY cobra with 39K miles
6 point cage with swing outs
Fully tubbed rear
Fab 9 rear with center mount Chris Alston shock (no water in rear)
Race craft upper and lower complete torque box kits
Race craft complete upper and lower control arms (double adjustable)
Rear is coated in POR 15 so no rust issues
UPR K with chrome moly, adjustable coilover struts
Custom rear mount for fuel cell and trans cooler (can be included no water)
Interior has been dynomatted

Car had no interior in it when flooded. the panels are fine (and dry) but wiring is suspect including dash.

Car would have a Flood salvaged title. Thoughts or should I just keep it and make it a 100% drag only car. It was supposed to be a on the edge street car.

If even a small chance you want a drag only car, keep it. Gut her out and let it eat.

Sorry you got caught by the floods down there. I'd keep it and build it for the track only.

Funny you mention it.

Fusion is my company car, I get a new one every 3 years.
Explorer Sport is my wife's current lease, new one every 3 years
I traded in my f250 (they made me an offer on it I couldn't pass up) for the GT350 and the F150. The F250 was more truck than I needed and while it was really nice it was always going to be just a truck.

Now I have to figure out the Cobra situation. I don't really need a drag only car. I may look for a clean low mileage car and swap over my streetable parts and build a really nice street car. Sell what's left. I've already had a couple of offers on the roller but don't know what a fair price is.

No engine, no trans, build SRA, no interior and could need all new wiring, but I assume the paint and body panels made it through with no permanent damage? Maybe 7k assuming just some stock or low dollar wheels. If you do have some nicer wheels, I would sell separate anyway.

Sorry about your car. Make it a monster and dont look back? I hope your house and family are doing better then your car. I got quite a few friends and family who have lost it all to this flood. Kinda pisses me off that reporting on some idiot swimmers is more important then what is happening to and hurting thousands of people here..
