Wrecked 93 Cobra pricing?

[T-Bolt]

My neighbor wrecked his 03 awhile back, and bought it back to re-sell. It's got around 110k miles, and got hit in the front. radiator and front end is trashed, but the doors back is fine. The motor/trans is also fine. It's teal with grey leather, sunroof, and the CD player, though that doesn't work. Any ideas on what he can get?

Edit: forgot to mention, even though it was hit in front, all 4 wheels are good.

Now what year is it in the title you say its a 93 but in the post you say it is an 03?

"Teal" color, I'd say the "03" was only a typo....

no idea what wrecked Cobra's are worth... But I bet he can get more than you think....

Depending on whether or not it's "totaled", it may be worth more parted out. If the engine is fine, it sounds like all it needs is a new front clip which is relatively simple for a seasoned body man. If it's in pristine shape (besides the accident of course) and this is the case, I wouldn't be surprised if he can get $5k+ for it... that is, as long as the title is still clean. Once it's been totaled, it can be hard to get what it may really be worth no matter how well it's repaired, stupid as that is.

lots of miles on the drivetrain. shoulda just kept the insurance money

5k if it's not bent up to bad and everything else is in good shape.

110k miles is nothing on the drivetrain. I would be willing to bet that he kept most of the insurance money anyways. Money + car = good deal

Yeah, sorry, it's a 93. Insurance paid him nicely and he figured he'd buy back the car and make a couple bucks off of it, and maybe get a few more Cobras rolling again.

Parting The Car Out And Then Selling It As A Roller Would Be The Most Profitable Way.

Someone Would Take A Roller And Turn It Into A Racecar With A Tube Front End And A Cobra Body. I Bet That He'd Get Tons Of People Interested In This.

 

[T-Bolt]

He really wants to sell it as a whole.

 

[drkhrse]

SO what is the price? I wish it was black I want one to make into a drag car. NJ is a bit far though.

 

[T-Bolt]

Still waiting, will post in classifieds when he decides.

 

[carguy19]

Please check your PMs I just realized you are in NJ. Id come to see the car and buy it if the frame isnt really bad.

hey i saw on corral earlier a guy was looking to buy a 93 cobra TEAL hatch, said was willing to travel and pay good money for it.... i'd check it out

 

[LEE93COBRA]

I'll give him $100 for it

:-D

I think he'll be better off selling it as a whole car, even if he has to front clip it. 110k is nothing, and the only things on the car that are worth more than a regular 5.0 are the ground effects and wheels and spoiler.

Put that puppy back together again and drive the snot out of it.

...and the only things on the car that are worth more than a regular 5.0 are the ground effects and wheels and spoiler

You mean the only aesthetic things, right?

 

[93Cobra#2771]

Not really. Unless someone is looking for an authentic Cobra motor/tranny to put in a roller, they aren't worth much more than stock stuff.

Intake, MAF, TB are all easily found on ebay or anywhere else.

Heads aren't really that much of an upgrade any more. People just don't run out there looking for a "cobra" motor like they do for the terminators, for obvious reason.

Tranny is virtually identical.

Interior is standard 5.0. Rearend is nice for the rear disc, but the same setup can be found on tbird turbo coupes and super coupes.

Ground effects are the most sought after pieces besides the wheels. And since there are now repro wheels out there, prices on them have dropped substantially.

Other than that, everything is standard 5.0 (I'm sure I missed a piece or two here and there).

You all kill me, Nothing about this car is the same as a 5.0, as stated above, has Different heads intake TB MAF, Bigger Injectors, Computer is Different, Has 4 lug disc rear, Front Rotors are Different, as is the Brake booster Perportioning valve, Has different cam as well. The body has different skirts on it as well as wing, oh and don't forget the tail lights. The trans is way different than a Gt or 5.0, I could go on and on but you all get the picture, these cars are much more than a GT or any 5.0, otherwise they wouldn't have there own web site. Not to mention Grill insert wheels, Different steering wheel, No cruise, their are plenty more parts than just a few. Hell the shifter is even different.
