Hi,

I hope this is OK to post this here but I need some help from the New England people. I am looking for an 03 Cobra to purchase. I prefer very light mods or stock and all colors will be considered. After several years I am finally looking to get back into a Mustang Cobra. :banana: Please shoot me a pm if you or someone you know is selling.

Thanks,
Bob

Looking for an 03 Cobra around Ma.

Really depends on the car. I would like to stay in the $23k-$24k range. That's Edmund.com privateparty value and what I have seen some going for lately.

Thanks

Nope definitely not that (thank god). So tell me, do you think it's gonna be possible to find a Cobra for about 24k or am I barking up an empy tree?

I believe you and the other guy in the red cobra vert are the two i talked to. My dad has a black C5 that we usually roll in with.

Hi guys,

I may have found an 03 to purchase in my pricerange and am planning on looking at it this weekend. Is there anything specific I should check for on these cars? Also, can you tell by the VIN if it is an early or late 03?

Thanks
Bob

Project is coming. I sold the vortech blower and picked up a t76 turbo for my 383 :) Should be a 700rwhp pile of crap when i am done. It wont be ready for the shows this summer though. Spring of 06' you'll see it roaming around. Till then I'll see you at the shows and I'll enjoy the cars and my cigars :)

You can also tell what run the Cobra is by looking at the passenger
door jam. It should have the computer code on a sticker, either a
QUD2, YDH0, or a YDH1. 2004 came out with a AMZ1 code.

Ok, the car was built in April of 03 and unfortunately I forgot to get the computer code. Does anyone know if some of the paint/primer issues were fixed at the factory? The current owner swears he never had the car painted but there is overspray on the side view mirrors???? From what I can see it has never been hit as the undercarriage is perfect.

Thanks,
Bob
