Based on what you've said. I would say your car is worth?

1) Theft Recovery with possible title issues
2) Car had been in major passenger side accident
3) Incorrect engine
4) No emergency brake which would make me believe that there are other
underlying issues if you look long and hard enough.
5) Several dents, dings,cracks and scrathes on a majority of the body surface


$5000 - $6000 TOPS! If these are the only issues and the cars starts,drives and shifts like it's suppose to. The car is worth what someone is willing to pay,for me I'd be hard pressed to offer anything over $6k and thats contingent apon driveability.

 

[Kabuki_notch]

well, like I said the title is clean and the e-brake just isnt hooked up but the price range you mentioned is close to what I was thinking myself, I had an offer without the s/c which was in that range appreciate the response.

$7-8K. Just because it's supercharged. That really turns some people on. But really, it just depends on how well it was put together, and the quality of the paint, etc.

 

[PJM99]

5k

I'd say it's worth $6k for someone who don't care about the car wether it's a Cobra or not or the fact that it's been wrecked, etc, etc.

My what it's worth would be $5k @ most & that's considering everything else is mint.

 

[Kabuki_notch]

interesting, what's the main factor bringing the cost down the wrecked/theft recovery or is it the motor? I'm just curious I sold a stock GT last yr for $5500

 

[~Ray~]

Everything, this Cobra would cost thousands just to fix to look decent & then to restore eveything that's been replaced. Even after that it still wouldn't be worth but $6-7k with a Theft/Salvage title & wrecked Carfax.

 

[Kabuki_notch]

Thanks for the input.

I think it would be worth 6500-7000 with the S/C for a quick sell. Even with its issues its still a 93 Cobra and has a Vortech.

If it were my car I would at least install a Cobra intake since they can be had cheap. Installing a set of iron GT-40s would also help, they are cheap but the labor kind of eats you up though.

I bet you could remove the Vortech and list it on ebay just N/A and it would bring $6k or so... again just because its a cobra.

 

[Kabuki_notch]

I agree cobra186 it actually has a cobra upper/lower but you right if I got 6k out of the car N/A I would be happy I mean selling a Vortech wouldnt be hard considering it has less than 300 miles on it. Thanks for your input

 

[Red Turtle]

if you are running the replica wheels, does the car have the rear discs? I thought that I heard that you can't run the replica wheels with the factory cobra rear discs?

Does the car have the cobra maf, 65mm TB and cobra ecu? What about the tranny is that a stock gt or the cobra? Has it been driven in winters in NY? Is the undercarriage all rusty?

I am with everyone else 5k maybe more depending on some of the above answers.

 

[cobra0393]

I would be interested in your car if you are wanting to sell it. Let me know

For comparison there is a Black "salvage title" 93 Cobra on ebay with over half the interior gone and it has a $7k bid with a couple days still left.

 

[Kabuki_notch]

thanks cobra186 I will check that out

That's why I always estimate high on these threads... Incomplete salvage title cobras bring $5-$6K. People post up complete running salvage cars with extras, and some of these guys are saying $4-$5K is all they're worth?

I was in the market for an incomplete cobra and the cheapest one I could find was $6500 and it was a theft recovery (Was looking to do a terminator drivetrain).
