03 cobra 14,500k..?????

Hey guys....this is really my relative inexpierence talking, however, i was wondering how much it would take to bring this car back to presentable shape. i have never foot the bill to completely restore a car like this so i was wondering what you guys think it will take to bring this car back to the dead...and yes, it is definitly DEAD RIP...GONE.

You can get a decent cobra convertible for about 22-26k so i dont see how this car could be a bargain at all.

Best Regards,
Vern

You could easily drop another 10 grand or more into that project. Seems if you are willing to spend that much, you could find a lower mileage complete car instead.

You could drop a bundle on that poor thing and still just have a raggity old terminator,lots of lower mileage good condition ones floating around;I'd buy the best you could.....my '03 only has 14000 miles,wouldn't sell it but there have got to be quite a few with 30,000 miles or less available,particuarly with gas prices going up!
good luck they are great cars!!

There is a Guy in Jacksonville Florida that has a Copitition Orange Cobra Convertible with only 3300 Miles YES only 3300 miles and he is asking $30K but I am sure it could be had for less. The car was at the Jacksonville Mustang Club Show this past weekend and it is Beautiful. Not a single flaw could be found.
