99 to 00 gts def.. possibly 01s if u are good at talking the dealership or seller down on their price..im pretty sure sixes of all those years would be in that price range, too

I was wondering if there was a web site that would show the hp and trq at the same rpms and the curb weight diff between the cobras and the gt's for instance

1999-02 4.6 SOHC 260 @ 5250 hp 300 @ 4000 tq
COBRA 4.6 DOHC 320 @ 6000 hp 317 @ 4750 tq

wouldnt the extra 750 rpms gain you 17 lbs tq? I wish they would rate them all at 5000 rpms.

They show you those numbers b/c that is the RPM that it peaks at, so an extra 750 rpms on the gt will actually lower the torque a bit.

I found only one in your area, I am assuming you are still in KC.

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/car/299819934.html
kind of high miles though!!

I would even look into this one, I love this body style!!! for the price and what you will have left over you could put alot of SH!T on it.

http://kansascity.craigslist.org/car/308937064.html

I bought mine on craigslist.com just keep checking back on the site and don't be in a rush, you will find the one you want. It took me about 1 month to find the one i wanted. good luck.

I want to atleast put the right speedo gear in and get new tires for the rear and find something to get rid of the mildew on the convertiable top before I sell it. I hope I can get 4grand out of it.

I cant belive how nice my car is .the leather seats look almost new. 3.73 gears american racing rims and in the pan shift kit. cai and the msd tune up kit. It would be perfect to race in but that shift is a little much for me in daily traffic. I wish I had the electric one you could turn off. I would be financing the new one so I really wouldnt have extra money if I went with the older fox...unless you know some shady banks that do that.

I would love to keep this car...what are the chances that the fox's (in 30 years) will be as much as a restored 67 stang today? I know my mom is kicking herself for getting rid of her 67 stang in the 70's.

I want to be known for something, like NECKBONE he is the "EBAY MAN" I just like craigs because I found mine on there I guess, and I think you probably get a better deal from a private owner other than a STEALERSHIP!!!!!

Good to know I now have a title. LOL
Keep an eye on autotrader.com. I never liked the fox bodies so I don't blame you for wanting to trade.
