#3. Not the best color but it has the lowest miles, it's a coupe, and it's ready for a twin screw.

 

[SLVRBLT]

What lloyyd said and I like that color too

 

[BlueSnake01]

I would pick either #2 or #3 but would rather have #3. Wow I didnt know they were that cheap now, thats how much my Cobra was 3 years ago (bought it for 18,500)

 

[cobra_matt]

Damn these things are going for cheap now. I'd go with number 3 as well.

 

[Jman20427]

These cars are going for cheap now, but these are the best 3 deals I have found after months of searching.

I agree number three is the best car but is it the best deal..idk

 

[low03tb]

#3 by far

 

[lloyyd]

I agree number three is the best car but is it the best deal..idk

It 's by far the best deal. It's $2K more than the cheapest one. Those headers & X-pipe are damn near $2K, not to mention the Steggy blower & all the rest of that stuff. No brainer.

This.

 

[F the V-TAC]

Damn good deals
I say #3

 

[fiveoh2go]

Car #3 without a doubt.

 

[jtm]

probably 3, depends alot on if you have a color preference. 2 would be nice if they had paperwork to show it was fixed right

This is the time when the east coast hides their time machines. Poor guys...

From October until March is the best time to buy a muscle car.
Sellers who need to sell for unknown reasons are easy bait for a good deal.
If I was a seller it would be in the summer months.
Also, living in California, you don't need to worry about, Flintstone floor boards."
No wonder there are so many California haters. They mask it by saying Pelosi is a bitch.
And?
So what, so is my first wife. She was born in Chicago.

[RedRocketMike]

is number 1 in NY

and number 2 in the market right now for 21.5, you're a hell of a negotiator.

 

[lobra97]

#3. the best color but it has the lowest miles, it's a coupe, and it's ready for a twin screw.

Fixed...
TR is the best color IMO but it is pricey. i'd get one with the least mods cause it's prolly been beat up a little. it's a little more fun to build your own too IMO.
all of em seem like ok deals.....TR OR GO HOME!!!:banana:

 

[BigSweezey]

Number 3.

 

[jip]

Number 1......oh yeah what the phone number for number 3? lol

 

[thomas91169]

#1. #2 is ****ed up (cant tell if you mean they fixed the HG or everything is just there to fix it) and #3 is a bit expensive. #1 however, is a vert, so if you ever plan on tracking it (drag, autoX/roadcourse) youre in for a rude awakening.

mileage is shit, especially if the car has been raped/abused those miles, vs a car with double that has only been raped/abused way less.

you really gonna pay an extra $2k for 8,000 less miles? Plus it has too many mods imo, you could be dealing with someone elses mistakes.

Sorry to say, but the above prices make me lol at anyone who thinks their 03/04 Eaton charged cobra is still worth more than $20k, in any condition. Maybe well done twin-screw or turbo cars with super low mileage...........

 

[CobraBob]

I would definitely say #3 but I'd still check it out carefully before biting as it likely has been driven hard with all of those mods.

Oh, and 2004 heads on #2 is not a fix for the tick issue. No factory heads on either year fixed the problem. It wasn't until Ford released the new head in 01/2005 that the problem was solved with revised coolant passages. Just an FYI.

 

[fordified]

#3. Doesn't need anything, not that much more expensive plus it has the most power, and when you get ready to upgrade it needs nothing but the upgrade itself.
