Question on a parts/donor cobra

Post by GTJay99 »

Hey guys have a question. Been awhile on here. I came across a red cobra with 120k on it. Car is rusted out. Both front fenders have rust, rear quarters are rough. Bottom of doors and hatch have rot. And the icing on the cake is the shock towers are about gone. I know many of you especially Mr Stiles have bought a few as parts cars. Whats a fair offer to make on one like this. Don't wanna be a true lowballer but not pay way more than intended. I was thinkin around the 2k area since the body is pretty much a goner...

What do you want to buy it for anything specific? Do you know about what prices are on used parts for these cars go for? That is where I get the round about figures when dealing with cars like that like. Sounds like this car is worth more in parts then trying to be saved. I have bought a few trucks for parts for a project I am working on and part the rest. Generally put a little $$ in my pocket after it's all said and done.

Most likely its gonna be parted out. Once the shock towers are goin it almost the death of a fox. Lol. Prolly use some parts for a project and save some and sell off some. I know some specific parts can be of some value. Just was lookin to hear other experiences with some.
