I would be ashamed to list that on my ebay account. There is nothing left to start with.

They'd probably make more money if they took out all the parts that weren't damaged and sold them seperately (like interior air vents, radio maybe, consoles, seats, some engine/exhaust parts if any aren't damamged).

that'd be a sleeper


i might give $1000-1500 for the motor and trans and put it in a fox or something that needs just a motor & tranny. or a 65 coupe.

It looks like it got hit from every angle possible. What a piece of junk! I'd buy that for a dollar maybe.

Depends on what kind of plans you could come up with for it. The engine looks good, also looks like the trans and rear end could be good as well from the way it was hit. You've also got some interior to work with such as the seats and stereo. If I wanted a cheap v8 Id buy that in a heartbeat and drop it in place of my v6. If the trans and rear are good thats easily worth the cost, ignoring the motor.

I would buy the engine and the whole drive train out of that 06 and buy this 95 and do that thought. Not paying $3600 for that pile of junk thought.

The auction in the first post is an absolute piece...That thing was REALLY destroyed.

It's funny to see how high the nose sits on the Cobra with the engine or tranny. Even higher than usual.

I would buy it for as cheap as possible.... than strip it... and sell the parts.... You could get some money for those 3 wheels... The spoilerless trunk.... Radio....Seats...etc.... You could make some money off it..

One little problem, the computer contols everything in the stang, put it into something older and it will give you problems because it can't find all those sensors. Too bad cause I would love to take this motor and drop it in an old Ford.

Looks like it was picked over already. Even the spoiler was taken off. I personally would like to see a few more pics of the undercarriage to see what is happening underneath as well.

Wow, somebody actually bought that thing.

Why? Why? Why???

There isn't a usable panel on the thing, and the engine bay appears to have been badly squashed. I'm guessing there isn't much left of that Pony to salvage!

Looks like the vultures have already picked that pony clean. I'd pass.


Quick Reply: $3600 - Would you buy it?
