yeah thats where i seen this car the guy notes later on in the thread that he has looked over the car and it is definitely the trany or fly wheel

It sounds like it's coming form the motor, if you ask me.

If that's a transmission tell him he needs to fix the motor inside of his transmission...

That is coming from the motor. Tell him you know that the headlight doesn't take blinker fluid and have a nice day.


There are plenty of both beautiful and beautifully priced Mustangs all over the nation. Look around and don't hop on one.

If you have to question the car don't buy it.

You'll know the car when you see it.

+1 otherwise tell the seller to fix the tick and he's got himself a deal...

Thats the damn 03 cobra head tick, is it not? Look for the blue mark on the head. Could be looking at replacing the heads to get rid of it, if that is what it is.

+1, the 03s had a head tick and they were fixed in 04. Ford replaced the heads if the car was still under warranty. I'm not so sure if they will now. It might be worth checking on. If Ford says they'll replace it then I don't know why you shouldn't get it.

It's out of warranty now, isn't it? Even if they would replace it for him they'd probably turn him down the minute they opened the hood and saw what was done inside. They'll try to claim anything possible to get out of fixing those.


Also, I have a 96 Cobra right now, but I always wanted an 03-04 in the future. I'm glad this thread came about, I now know I want an 04 only. :yes

They fixed the head mid way thru 03. If its an 03 just look for the blue mark on the head. If it doesn't have it and its not ticking, its fine. Just do the LDC Chicago cooling mod, and you are set.
