Hey guys I have owned mustang cobra's my entire life but now its time for something that has more room for the family and fast. I saw this car on the forum and had to get it. It is slightly wrecked and has 135k but I have been rebuilding mustangs for a while now so I think I am fine. Looking forward to getting her back on the road soon and actively participating on the forum!

Dave.


135k
$6600.00
mods in sig..more to come.

fixing her up means a new hood anyways. might as well be a nice looking hood instead of the plain one it came with.

So, you'd be still under $7k? How much can a bumper cover and a grill set run?

Wow! Excellent find!

Bumper is almost impossible to find. Dealer is 700 grill is about 700 also (dealer is a joke). Shipping was 730 so it ads up quick but still looking forward to it.

Just be careful when running any 03-04 Cobras or GT500's. There is maybe 1 V on this entire board that could beat my 03 Cobra. I dont even want to know how much he has invested in the car either. F1 setup built motor, rear etc...

For dealer parts, track down Luke at Lindsay, He should be able to get you a decent price on parts plus shipping.

I ran over a fender on the freeway about a year ago and had to replace the front fascia. Luke had the best prices, but shipping something that large to CA was more than the cost of the part.

So I got mine from GM parts direct shipped to the local FedEx freight location for $700. If I had to do it again, I would get the part numbers from Luke, take of the front fascia off and take it to a few body shops and see what they can purchase the fascia for. I was told their cost is about $350.

See what deal you can get having them purchase the fascia and match the paint to the one you took off. This way you save money on the part and do the install yourself.
