And this is exactly what I did! haha Actually I found an 00 GT for $6400 and it's now sitting in my driveway. The Saleen wheels are on the way and the complete body kit should be on the way in a couple of weeks. The car is Black on black and I plan on transferring the motor, tranny, complete interior, and the hood over. I'll need a couple of miscellaneous parts I know but I've finally found something to look forward too out of all of this! Stay tuned for pics and more news...
Best of luck with the project. Still can't believe you were able to buy it back for $1,700. The parts alone are worth a WHOLE lot more. You got a steal IMO.
if u read u would see that he really didnt have much of a choice to drive it that day... his beater was out so he had to. its not like he wanted to drive the car in the rain. i dont see why u have to say a statement like that :rollseyesKilgore Trout said:
it really just is a car. it sucks, but you'll move on. atleast you had insurance. i only had liability on my 93 mustang. that thing was stolen and striped. i also only had liability on the impala clone. the motor had less than 500mi when the car caught fire and burned down.
good luck, sounds like your back on your feet gettin things going again.

That was kind of a harsh statement to make. I loved and took care of my car more than any possession I own. But, while we're feeling sorry for cars and all.... how about your poor car that has never even gotten to enjoy an exhaust upgrade much less a pulley swap.... THAT is a shame to me... N/M not trying to turn this thread into anything else than it is.
You know what would have been cool? Your original 93 idea with the transplant but painted in your old cars color, Mystichrome.

He had a great car that's now wrecked and he had to pay $1700 to get it from the insurance company. He's much worse off than he was before the accident. I understand that everyone is trying to make him feel better but the reality is accidents are very expensive and you never come out looking better financially.
Sorry to hear about your loss.
First off, I'm sorry to see your loss. I lost my Mach 1 earlier this year and was forced to make a post similar to this. This also hits home because my loss was also due to Drag Radials in the rain. I really, really feel your pain, and do know that everything will work out for you.
It has been several months for me, and I have become just as happy with my new toy. I know you will pull through, remember to do some research on your dealings and entitlements with the insurance company, and get what its really worth. I took back like 26K or so when I wrecked my Mach, that was more than blue book. I forget now exactly what the settlement was.
Second, thanks for the reality check. I feel your pain, and seeing something like this makes me remember why I should respect and appreciate my own health and that I am again driving one bad a$$ mustang. We forget sometimes, and we push the limits, only to find ourselves in a bad spot when its too late. I screw around too much, and I know the cost all to well... this is a reminder.
I know you weren't screwing around, but this just rings a bell to me... I have come too close for comfort lately in the Cobra and its time for a reality check.
Thank you again for sharing, and hopefully I have provided a little comfort too. I know how much a friend can mean at a time like this, and we here all share a common bond that makes us friends, one and the same... even never having stood face to face.
Best of luck.
Edit: Oh, this is a few days old... anyway. Best of luck!

Glad you are ok but it absolutely broke my heart to see a mystic like that. lots of people tell me mine is just a car too but I feel completely opposite of them my cobra is my child basically, or a very important part of my family. My wife gasped too when she saw the pics so she must feel about the same way.:thumbsup:
As a fellow MystiChrome owner, I'm saddened to see one of our own bite the bullett. :cryying:
However, the best news is that you survived the accident! :beer:
Here's another idea for "replacing" your Cobra - How about either selling the Cobra "as is" or parting it out? This, along with your insurance money, should give you adequate $$$ to buy another MystiChrome. :shrug:
I've had my MystiChrome for a little over a year now and I know that if I had to do it all over again (the mods), there's definitely a few changes I would make. Just get you another one and start off on a clean slate with this one...

This is a great idea, and I thought about it a lot before I purchased the GT. I'm 23 and have a decent full-time job. But now that I don't have that payment anymore, I'm able to go back to school. I plan on finishing my 4 year degree and getting a better job so I can just pay in full for the next one. Trust me, I WILL own another Mystichrome. But I think I'm making a better decision at the moment. No matter how sad I am when I open the garage door and don't see that paint changing.... :-(
wow. that totally sucks. and i very much understand and agree that is not just another car. i cannot imagine the horror of all the time invested, i would just try to not look at those pics too much. those even gave me chills. sorry to hear it man. glad your ok though.
