I agree, its a modded cobra. No distinct history. Being stolen is cool? How about being wrapped around a tree? :pat:

Its a $25k car tops IMO.

Values are derived from race history, build number, combo's on car, but you don't hear any collectors saying "Hey Billy! come here real quick, you gotta see this! This one here was stolen but they put it back together and modded it!

Just my 2 cents for what is worth. Like the guy above said some people like golden showers. :spankme: :buk:

First off.....Im just blown away by the fact that you guys are Cobra people and all you do is pick every car apart that you find for sale, especially the ones listed for more than YOU want to pay. Then the ones that get complimented are just plain edgy cars. But as long as its cheap its all good here. :roll:

Just my 2 cents for what is worth. Like the guy above said some people like golden showers. :spankme: :buk:
The original owner removed the drive train with intentions of building a race car out of it...and then let the car sit for 8 years. The car was found by Steve from MMFF and purchased like this with 1300 miles on it. The car was not stolen from a mall parking lot and then later found in a warehouse with no drive train. You show me an original paint 93 Cobra roller with 1300 miles on it, please send me the address ill build a car out of that one too.

Yes i understand how values are determined.....I could sell this car wholesale in 1 phone call for $25k. Because ive already had that number thrown out there from other dealers.

My point is with the history on the car is how many 93 Cobras that were produced had a build like this done by a known magazine??? The collector guy who wants original stuff doesnt buy this car. Its the guy who likes modded Fox cars and doesnt want to get smoked by a high school kid in a new honda accord. We all know a bone stock 93 Cobra is a slug by todays standards. So if your into modded cars but also appreciate low mileage, original paint, original gut....its this car.

Aside from the story of the car....MMFF puts $20,000+ in parts into the car. Thats not including labor....Please show me a 7000 mile Cobra thats done like this car with original paint and interior and everything works on the car... for $25k and under.

It sold about 2-3 years ago to unsuspecting buyers, why do you think every time someone gets duped and pulls the trigger they relist it for sale.

Here is a modded cobra with less miles than yours, it even has the circa 93 aftermarket rims that people were throwing on 5.0's when they were new. So this one was done to time era correct. I think it was in the back of Muscle Mustangs and Fast fords, under readers rides, I think I saw it when I was on the shitter maybe thats why he is asking $30k....

Bad thing is... its been for sale for about (5) years yes its been sitting on autotrader for @ 5 years. Its been on there so long it actually is creeping up on 6k all time views. 6,000 people have looked at it just on autotrader, never-mind how many times its been on fleabay. You might be asking yourself why? Why would no one want it?

I sold the car through Manheim OVE to a dealer in Chicago for $29000. He was familiar with the car and said that it was for him personally....but we will see.

Car left yesterday. The sale price is listed on Manheim Market Report 3/8/17

Car sold to a dealer, who will likely resell the car eventually. But i guess hes a fool and knows nothing and im a fool i know nothing to. Awesome....

Beware anyone that pays more than the experts here say is a fool.

Nice cars sell, end of story.

I'm a dealer as well but have extensive knowledge in these cars. Whoever bought it has only looked on ebay at asking prices to determine what he thought yours was worth. IMO yes he is a fool. Seen it a hundred times. I took a 94 Cobra with 6k miles on it to Manheim Statesville years ago. I had it online for $16900 the car brought 21k thru the lane, so just because it brought 29k thru a auction means nothing.
89 Saleen SSC #168 10k miles
90 Saleen Vert #93 26k miles
92 Cobra Prototype 8k miles
93 Cobra #3032 Teal/gray cloth 6k miles
93 Cobra #3620 Black/Gray leather 12k miles
93 Cobra #4993 Teal/Gray Leather
93 Yellow SE 5spd, 4k miles
93 5.0 coupe 19k miles
94 GT 7k miles
92 25th 1LE Z28 900 miles
