Fixable? Frame damage? How much would it cost to fix, and how much would you guys pay for it in its current state? Car has stock motor with about 115k miles.
How bad is this teal 93?

Whew... it actually doesn't look too bad. Based on the wheels and how square the engine bay is it doesn't look like the frame is out, the damage is right at the air bag trigger and it didn't blow so it looks like a low speed crunch to me. Actually, it looks like somebody backed into it. Do you know what happened? Any details on how it came to rest there would help. If the frame is ok, there's a good chance the radiator support can be straitened out, so all it looks to need is a fender, bumper cover, hood and headlight, and the related paraphernalia and backing panels etc. Not high dollar stuff. May be unrelated, but there's some suspiciously anti-freeze looking mess in just the right place on the floor to suggest something poked the radiator, so the AC condenser may be compromised as well.
It's hard to say. It would be worth a lot more to someone who can do their own body work than someone who can't, obviously, because in any good shop around here there's easily a couple thousand in body work there. With the relatively high miles, that doesn't leave much. However, it is the desirable Teal/Black combo in what looks to be a very strait, clean car. From what I see it just has a shifter, and c/c plates so it likely has some suspension, possible gears and exhaust; otherwise it looks pretty stock so it maybe hasn't had the wheels driven off it. I'd offer $2K-2500 for it sight unseen, based on the pictures... but that's just me.

Car is easliy worth anywhere from $4000 to $5000 depending on Mods, Fox body cars wrecked or not are bringing good money, you may find 2 to maybe 3 93 Cobras a year wrecked, parts are worth a premium, so complete cars bring good money. Sometimes as much as high mileage drivers.
Easy fix, looks like it may have been a black interior swap car tho. Has the wrong seats in it.
Indeed... I missed those too.
Why? Even a well repaired wreck will bring more money than a clone?
Speedfreek?
What's wrong with the seats? Somebody educate me

Looks like the frame is damged and the title is ruined. Im assuming
Black interior was only on 90-93 Cars which we all know but 90-91 had the pull out leg bolsters on the bottoms 92-93 didn't.
What a shame, even with a rebuilt title I hope it gets repaired. Its still an original.
I agree on the frame. It will have to be pulled a little. That doesn't mean anything on the title. If the guy who has it now is the original owner when wrecked and bought it back from the insurance company (IF they totaled it) then the title will still be good
ahhhhh. Its been a long time since I owned a cloth car and I didn't realize that.
Heck the title with the stripped shell will bring 1000-1500 even with salvage.
No actually 87 thru 91 did but we are talking about black interior which was only in 90-93's.

Now most Insurance companies will give a salvage title , even if the owner retains the wrecked car. And leather seats had the same configuration as cloth.
as far as the 89 seats , they had the massive headrest.
