Looks like original sticker price was in the 25K neighborhood.  I wonder if this is the one that's been at Carlisle a few times in the plastic bubble.  I also wonder how many hoses and vacuum lines are dry-rotted.

I despise '93 Cobras more than any other Fox Mustang, mainly because the people who have them think they are something.  They got a few more hp, rear disk brakes (tiny ones) and a softer suspension.....*yawn*..it's another Fox Mustang....

I like them.I don't think they are "all that",but I like them.I wouldn't trade my T-Bird though.Too much of me in it,plus,the Bird is a better looking car.

My friend had one. Those are great running cars, lots of mid-range power, makes the stock 5.0 look tame. In its day that factory modded engine was quite the runner. Today it seems slow though.

The one in Carlisle was a '94 Cobra Indy Pace car with 6 miles on it.
Here's the info.

So?  it is still just a family car T-bird.

No offense as I built one too and loved it, and still miss it, but they will never carry the value that a Cobra will.  I would say that you will get more looks in a Cobra too, but after I painted the T-bird, I noticed ALOT of people staring as I drove by, even got quite a few thumbs ups.  LOL.

There is another T-bird projects in the works for me very soon....

Mustangs are Mustangs and hold nil interest for me.  Especially red ones... :yuck:  The only Mustang I would even consider would be an '80 Cobra in black and green....but I wouldn't give up either of my T or C for it.

I could give a rat's ass about a car "holding it's value"... or whether I'll get "looks".

Neither of my Tbirds/Cougars would ever get mistaken for  "family" cars.

Post by: ZondaC12 on December 06, 2007, 01:44:42 PM
^^^ Yup Amen to that. I give my car plenty of looks. I feel like the king of the world in it, I think its that beautiful. I know that people arent hailing me, but they might as well be.
 
I do like Fox Mustangs but they're part of the standard 80s styling era. These offer soooo much more.
 
I cant believe thats not even TITLED though. 16 freakin miles. There was a GNX on ebay like a month ago, same deal I think like 9 miles maybe (was under 10 for sure), went for 100K :crazy:

That's close, a fully equipped '93 Cobra would sticker at about $22k.



For me, the '93 Cobra is one of the very few Fox bodied Mustangs the I would consider owning.

I'd love to own it, and it would have WAY more then double digit miles in no time.
 
Those cars were ment to be driven, not stored in a plastic bag.
It's a shame!

I've always been a fan of the sleeper. People in Dodge Chargers tend to not like it when a 20 year old T-bird kicks their ass ;)

One day when I'm rich, I'm going to buy a car like that (doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's under 100 miles and stored in plastic) and do the largest burnout the world has ever seen in it just to piss the previous owner off as I drove away...

I'm almost positive there was a fox one too in the past 3 years.  Like Eric said, today they aint all that fast.  Gimme a '92 Notch with a 347 and a 3 link suspension.  Dark blue, please.

Hello

  If im correct the warranty has not started yet.  I bought a cube van years ago that was had full warranty because it wasnt registered for the first 2  years.  So I had an 8 year on a 6 year warranty.  The van sat on the owners yard for 2 years then registered it.  But thats in Canada.  Not sure what it is in the states.

Let's not forget about the all-important factory 17s. Ok, it not all that great now, but back then... shag. lol. (http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Happy/happy-026.gif)

I like all the Cobras. I wish they hadn't ditched it for Shelby name on the S197 chassis. And I wouldn't object to owning a Termie.

AMEN to that.  I just wanna add that if it wasnt for my infatuation with the 5.0 stang.  I never would have bought my cougar.

And that's why this car was never made for someone like yourself. ;) Leave the untouched stockers for those who want do drive an untouched stocker.

Oooowwwwiiieeee. Time for some burnouts! Lets take that mother on a nicely paved road and get rid of some tires! I dont care how rare of a car you have, or whatever you drive the god thing.
Title: I can't believe I'm saying this
Post by: CougarCoupe88 on December 08, 2007, 11:57:01 PM
buy a regular 5.0 mustang and beat it up. leave the rare unmolested cars alone.

as stated b4 for 93 the car was BAD AZZ. like it or not the car probly would need alot of work to ensure it's road worthy. you start burning out and running the car hard  for the first time in it's life stuff is going to pop. and spew.  leave the poor car alone and keep it in a garge where it's stored for history.

lets not forget all you mustang HATERS. if the fox mustang never took off like it did. where would you tbird/cougar owners be for aftermarket suspention and engine parts???.... so it makes you think...

just like all of us would love to see any year or all year TURBOcoupes in that shape with no mileage or never titled. stop being haters and respect the car for what it is  ALL SHOW.
