Triple A · January 30th, 2009, 10:41 PM

is it work $4250?
here is the description:

I have a project for sale, car had been wrecked and I dont have time to finish. Or would make a great donor car for a street rod project. car runs and drives,it has 87000 miles on it. leather interior and Mach sound system. If you were to part out this car you could easily pay for it and use what you want. between the motor and trans, cobra brakes, airbags, tires and wheels, hood, alot of High dollar parts.

i wouldnt give that much for it

Triple A · January 30th, 2009, 10:55 PM

yeah, im thinking abt selling my car and buying it, i think all i need is the headlights for now

Triple A · January 30th, 2009, 10:56 PM

as long as it runs well and drives straight i'd be happy w/ it. and if i can sell my car i'll def talk him down some

graystang01 · January 30th, 2009, 10:56 PM

it needs alot more than headlights...

mustangjeff1997 · January 30th, 2009, 10:58 PM

I wouldn't buy it

ColdSteel · January 30th, 2009, 10:58 PM

i would pay 3k for that car, 3.5 if i really liked it.

Triple A · January 30th, 2009, 10:59 PM

i know that, but for it to be street legal i think it just needs headlights

if you do, at least pick up some black primer for it and make it all one color

Triple A · January 30th, 2009, 11:02 PM

will do

riddlee josh · January 30th, 2009, 11:25 PM

my car was previously wrecked before i bought it and i must say i will never buy a wrecked car again. they always have more wrong with them than what appears.

Triple A · January 30th, 2009, 11:35 PM

this is my friends car. its faster than a gt, but slower than a cobra. it drives pretty nice so im hoping this one turns out fine

when a car has been wrecked it really depends on where the damage was and how well the work was done. your friends car really didn't look horrible, but this cobra looks like it went through hell.

hey man if you do buy it, before you buy it have the alignment checked BEFORE you buy it. Do to the fact its been wrecked the camber or caster might be WAYYYYYY out and not fixable or it'll cost new parts to get it aligned correctly again.

WilltheThrill · January 31st, 2009, 07:07 AM

Those tires, wheels, and that hood are not "High" dollar parts. Yeah you could get plenty of beer money to last you a while selling them but its not gonna get you "high dollars".......lol

Whos the dooshbag trying to sell that thing?

And make sure you do a CARFAX history report on the cars VIN. Dont trust the guy if he says "only a lil fender bender".

Damage to a cars frame can be hidden.

My dumbass rushed into the purchase of my cobra really bad. And I completely forgot to do this. I got one on it after I bought it and it had a couple negative things on its record.......oh well..no big deal...I absolutely love her and I plan on keeping her in the family even after I die. A son/daughter or my 2 younger brothers will get JOINT OWNERSHIP ON A 10 SEC. MAYBE 9 SEC. KB COBRA.

good luck man!

you really need to make sure that everything is as close to spec as possible. no matter how straight you think it is, there might be some small things that are still wrong with it no matter how good it looks now, you just need to make sure you can cover it up.
