Looking to get into another Cobra in the near future. I will consider pretty much any color other than the yellows. Low miles are definitely preferred and mods are not really important. Looking to spend around $20k tops. Please don't bother responding if you have a Cobra that you are asking over $20k. The prices being asked for these cars are outrageous right now and I'm not paying 25 grand for a car that's almost 10 years old. I'm willing to travel and have cash ready for the right car.
WTB 03/04 Cobra
- Thread starter 03Cobra
- Start date
The price is not really out of control. The MSRP on these cars was $33,000 and the going rate for a coupe with 20,000 miles is about $22,000 or about 60% of original cost. The MSRP of a 2004 GT Deluxe was about $24,000 and was often sold for less. A fully optioned used one with a stick and 20,000 miles would sell for $10-12,000 or about half its original cost.
Considering that Terminators have hand built engines with forged internals, DOHC, six speed tremic tranny, IRS, brembos, aluminium flywheel and drive shaft, far better seats, are numbered cars, etc, etc etc, the higher percentage retained value is justified. Especially since until the 2007 GT500 there was nothing comparable and one with 20,000 miles will run $30,000, the price of a clean stock or nearly stock Terminator is not surprising.

I am with Cobra Esq I just sold my 03 DSG with 14k on it and over 15k in Mods for 26k. The price on the Cobra's are where they should be IMO and I truly believe they will always stay strong. 20k spending limit will get you a nice car with normal mileage 40k over 20k will get you low low miles and under 20k will get you high mileage.
Mine had 13k miles on it when I sold it at the end of last year. I had a few dreamers that thought they were going to buy one like mine for 19k with the same amount of miles. I wished them luck.
The new Shelby is going to be 65k before taxes and markup so lets call it 75k. My old Cobra ran mid 10s for less than half the price and would go low 10s with more boost. Where are you buying a mid 10 sec car with full power, ac, anti lock brakes etc for 25k these days???

AS much as I don't want to sell my car I have other things going on that need my attention. I need to invest in our business so I need to let one of the toy's go. This car has been babied and has everything you could ever want and then some! The car is garage kept here in NM and only driven on weekends if that.
Here are some photos of the car:

Now some info on the car:
The car is set up to run on E85 I have three separate tunes on the car right now. One of the tunes is a pump gas tune just in case you don't have corn near you. When I took receipt of the car it was not completely ready for E85. After making the changes we dyno'd the car. After emptying the pump gas and putting in the E85 we heard what sounded to be a dead hole. It turns out an exhaust seat had fallen. Luckily it did not fall all the way and we were not in the middle of a pull. So the engine was pulled and a new set of Livernois stage two heads were put on the car. This included a brand new set of ARP head studs.
A lot of work went into this car to get it to the stage it is in now.

Upon the engine going back in we kept the 3.4" pulley on the blower and put an oem lower with cage back on the car. It currently has a new alternator with a stock pulley on the alternator. The car put down 704 rwhp on about 18 lb. of boost. As many of you know this is not even in the efficiency range of the 3.4 Whipple. Here is the dyno vid of the pull:

Here is the dyno sheet, all tuning was done in Albuquerque by Chris Groves @ Dyno Edge. I believe this sheet is from the last pull we did, it is not from the video.

There is so much on this car I know that I am missing something. This is one of the cleanest Cobra's I have seen. The interior on this car is immaculate. The Wheels in the photos will not be coming on the car. I have a brand new set of aftermarket SVT Cobra wheels with brand new Nitto Rubber all the way around. I will be putting these on the car before it sells. The new wheels are 18X10 in the Rear with 555r' in 305's
My plan was to run the car this season but unfortunately never got to. The car does come with a Maximum Motorsports Cage all hardware is still new in the Box. I had the Cage custom painted Redfire by Jeremy at Superior Customs in Albuquerque. The cage does come with the car as well, you can do with as you please.

I also have a Metco quick change lower pulley kit and a 3.0" Whipple Pulley. I never found a belt that would hold with the 3.0" pulley. If you could find an HD belt Im sure you would meet my goals of over 800 rwhp. We did hit 26 lb. of boost with the 3.0" but the belt slippage was horrible with what we had. I just put a brand new HD belt on the car. It does have a manual belt tensioner on the car and it makes life so much easier. I am asking
$26,500.00
If the car needs to be shipped I may be willing to work with the price.
I am not looking in to any trades at this time as this money will be invested in our business.
I can be contacted via PM or emailed at 4theloveofboost@gmail.com
I highly suggest that this car not be purchased by an inexperienced person. This car if not treated properly will kill you.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my ad,
