... and buying a 1998 Cobra. My wife said it was one or the other. So I made the "hard" choice and bought the Cobra. I pick it up this Tuesday or Wednesday. I just couldn't pass up a Cobra for $6000. Here are some pics of the car.

That's alright, very nice find! Hope you have fun with this car!

 

Well its good to see you’re home bud great find with the 98 snake. $6K is definitely a good deal!! she looks great. the yellow paint and cobra R wheels are perfect together. and you just gotta love that four valve mod motor lol. any mods planned yet? cant wait to see more updates on it.

 

Those are not "R" wheels....they are factory '98 Cobra wheels....which are similar to but not the same as "R" wheels


Nice find and good deal! I think that's the cheapest I have seen a '98 Cobra in that condition sell for to date!

 

REALLY? darn lol..

i always thought the stock 98 cobra wheels were the same as the earlier ones, you know the 5 lug 5 spokes with the 5 rounded holes in them...

aahh well, learn something every day

 

Thank you Paul. Any pointers oh great wise sage of Mustangs?

 

The last 98 cobra that sold that cheap that was yellow had no motor.....that makes me wonder what is wrong with this one.

 

Absolutely nothing is wrong. The previous owner (the guy I am buying it from) is a retired gentleman who is into restoring older cars. He has a 1957 Bel Air that is to die for. He took outstanding care of this Cobra. But since he purchased a 1954 Bel Air he had to make room in his garage as moving the Cobra around got to be a pain in the ****. The guy is really cool and after spending quite some time looking this baby over, I just don't see that he would try to hide anything. I did a carfax on it as well, so I pretty well know what is what about the car. He has receipts for all maintenance done to the car too. Trust me, I am not one to throw around $6000, I did my homework first. I guess I just got lucky.

 

Im jealous.

Smokin deal, nice find.

 

That depends what you want out of it. The basics, Cold air intake, shifter, exhaust will wake it up. If you want gears that will wake it up even more. It all depends how far you want to take it and how you are going to use it(ie: daily driver vs. weekend toy)

 

Mileage?

 

i think it was mentioned earlier that its over 100K, might have been in the other thread

 

Looks good. that was a great price too.
