[QUOTE="MysticRob, post: 15182010, member: 118642"] The fact the engine is 'built' doesn't mean much if it's not repaired first. There could be other problems besides a popped head gasket, like warped heads, etc, causing others problems. I don't see any extra cash derived there. Did yours go through the recall? ECM probably has a custom tune for the now-missing ProCharger but at least you could load the post-recall stock tune for whoever buys it. Car also has those horrible V-6 wheels on it, and a flat tire. Where are the original wheels? Is the tire bad or can it be repaired? 99 Cobras have factory GT f/r seats so there's nothing special about the interior besides the IP. That said, it looks to be in good shape. The exterior Saleen kit isn't for everyone either, so it may hurt the value more than help. Same goes for that hood and flames (thankfully they're hard to see). If you have the original trim pieces I'd put them all back on. Get a kit for the headlights and polish them back up, it'll make a ton of difference. With the car the way it sits, I'd be surprised if you got anything close to $3k, and that's if you can prove the engine has all those performance parts you mentioned, and somebody wants to take a flyer on them. That's because buying a non-running vehicle that has missing parts (and possibly entire cooling system) will take a lot of money to get back on the road. Good luck with the sale, and please let us know how it goes! [/QUOTE]
