Without crowding the marketplace with another ridiculous "Feeler" thread I was wondering what to set my car at. I was thinking of asking between $21.5k-$23k. Local Cobras on autotrader are anywhere from 17.5-23.5 with convertibles and yellow cars towards the bottom.

2003 Ford Mustang Cobra
-73k miles on the chassis
-1200 miles on engine and rebuilt transmission
-I purchased from the original owner about three years ago at 55k miles
-One previous minor accident, scraped the rear driver side of my car at about 8mph, simply repainted, new wheel, and new tie rod. Have pics
-Exterior 8/10, Interior 8/10


-Engine:
  • Boss big bore 5.0 shortblock built at Modmax good for 1000hp
  • 9.2:1 Manley forged pistons
  • stock forged Manley rods with arp 2000 bolts
  • stock crank
  • remachined and inspected heads and valves
  • all ARP hardware
  • Posi ported Eaton, ported plenum and ported/matched accufab sbtb w/ 2.8/4lb pullies
  • Fluidyne heat exchanger
  • JLT ram air intake
  • pcv breathers

-Fuel:
  • LP return fuel system using the dual Ford GT pumps with modified hat
  • 80lb injectors as I have an E85 tune as well as a 93 pump gas tune with SCT flash handheld

-Driveline:
  • solid polyurethane motor mounts
  • Steeda IRS brace
  • 26 spline input with ProMotion blue-printed Hi-Clamp clutch with Fidanza aluminum flywheel and LP TOB
  • firewall adjuster and quadrant
  • Steeda lowering springs

-Misc.
  • UPR o/r x-pipe with flowmaster 40-series mufflers, sounds perfect imo
  • Has a nitrous system fully installed but will not be tuned on spray, it was on the last setup.
  • Last setup w/ stock motor was posi port 2.8/4lb making 520/545 on 93. With the Boss bottom i'm expecting about 550 on 93 and 600-620 on E85, both with conservative tunes.
  • 8% tint, but passenger side has a crease in the middle and rear is bubbling
  • extended rear wheel studs

Awesome thanks for the great news. :rolling: I only wish I could be the one to throw a twin screw on top of this thing, tvs would make 750+ on E85

Did a similar build and mine netted 538/560... However, I reused my Teksid block and 99 heads which had a full refresh. Everything else in regards to hp is comparable.

You sure you want to sell it? It's very nicely modded. I have to agree with Jimmy. Assuming your engine is in pristine condition and that it the build was top notch, you should get a premium.

I would say that convertibles would be more towards the top not the bottom.
