I'm seeing prices all over the place...
This is my 2nd Terminator Vert, my 5th Mustang and I just honestly don't use it enough to justify not allowing someone else to enjoy it.

To be honest, I've always thought this car would be going to my youngest daughter...she's 13 so a few years to go. But, it's lowered, it has aftermarket headers and welded subframes.

If you have had, or know of someone that has had that setup, then you know it rides really low. And, I don't think I'd like to have my youngest worried about that all the time. (And increasing the ride height is not a plan either)

Anyway, it's not a daily and for as much as I've enjoyed it, I'm thinking someone else should be the receiver of the proverbial torch pass

To each their own on Cobra builds so I'll say I put this one in the "show and some go" category"

Basic overview:
89K Miles
Black and Tan convertible with custom ghost flame paint (copper colorish ghost flames, have to see it, it's sweet!)
Stage 5 (505RWHP)
BAP, Injectors
BBK CAI
Metco D.I. pulleys
Black powdercoated intercooler/radiator tanks
Rotorpros brakes (dimpled/slotted)
True Forged Chicanes (Pir Pzeros, less than 2k miles on them)
HR Sport
MM CC plates
Saleen Speedster cover custom painted to match car (ghost flames as well)
Classic Designs roll bar / 3rd brake light

...and I'm sure I'm missing a bunch

I'd rate the exterior 9 to 9.5 out of 10...it's sweet and when I do take it out, I get all kinds of attention, thumbs up, etc. It sounds amazing, it looks amazing and the combination of the custom paint, speedster/rollbar set up with 18'' TF wheels and fat tires always looks nice

Interior is very solid 9. No cracks in the dash, carpet if nice and the seats have great wear in them for nearly 90K

At just over 500RWHP, no...it's not the fastest Cobra out there. But it certainly gets out of its own way and sounds great doing it
The only known issue I have right now (again, not a daily so I've not messed with it much) is an ABS light. Yes, I could get it cleared. Yes, I could also fix it. (I did try cleaning the sh!t out of the sensors, didn't work so I'm guess it needs more attention). But, that's the only known issue

Thoughts? What's a good price ?

I appreciate your time (I know this is a long post)

Well the wheels are worth 3k. How bout the top for value?

I know your car is super clean so with the teo big extras (wheels and top) I'd say 22k?

You could sell those on the side and drop to @18-19? My car just hit 90k as well and I'm nowhere near selling it but I see prices in our mileage range really vary.

Thanks for your reply!
The speedster cover/rollbar is roughly $900 but throw in the custom paint and we're now into 3k
I'm thinking I'd only consider selling it as is though and not breaking up wheels, etc

I’d wait another month to list it or in May due to it being a vert. Have you looked at eBay to see what some are going for as in high bids? Vert maybe a tougher sale than a coupe. I always say your either a vert guy or you’re not. I’m gonna say 20k.

Some pics. Can't believe I don't have one of the speedster cover, but you can see the backside of it leaning in the garage

Ya sometimes it's easier to just let it go together and take the hit.
