excell Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 https://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/5587093392.html Here it is Yea, I talked to this guy. A few red flags for me -- body has about 170k, was repainted but he didn't know when, etc. Sounded like a decent car for more like 4k but I'm sure they won't go there. I have my eye on a 2001 Cobra right now. Low miles, stock, and the colors I want. Top of my budget but I think you have all turned my thinking a bit. Nicer, newer car that's got more upside and I won't feel bad actually driving it. If I end up with it I'm sure I'll get lots of "lol not a Terminator" though haha.

If I end up with it I'm sure I'll get lots of "lol not a Terminator" though haha. Just before I bought my BMW, I was looking at New Edge Cobras. I liked the idea of a mainstream, V8 RWD convertible with a little bit more of a pedigree. At the time, there wasn't anything under $7500. If you're going to go Mustang for a convertible, a Cobra is definitely a good way to go. Would rather be looking at "COBRA" on the rear bumper than "MUSTANG" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Would rather be looking at "COBRA" on the rear bumper than "MUSTANG" When did they start doing that? I had a buddy that ran through a series of mid-90s cobras (when they were new) that said mustang on the bumper. To be fair they were pre-new edge cars. To be double fair he totaled every single one of them (4 in all). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 That started in 1996 to 1998...then I think again in 2001. I think the 94-95 5.0L cobras said MUSTANG as well as the non-badass 99-00 ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I like the 99-04 body style, but their interiors are horrendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excell Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Not sure why they stopped in 1999... but those cars were odd birds. I think they rushed them out which is why they had all the performance problems and recalls. Skipped 2000 except for the Cobra R and 2000-2001 are supposed to be really fun cars. They just got paled in comparison to Ford's "I'm sorry we fucked you in 1999" Terminator which is a great car. I always really liked the n/a Cobra though, and they can be found for half the price of a Terminator. That's 10k worth saving to me. Funny enough Clay -- the Cobra's are still hard to find under $7500 in any generation. They have held value pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigOxley Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Nice pick up. My dad rented a 5.0 mustang lx manual convertible for a weekend trip to West Virginia when I was a kid. I'm guessing it was '90 or '91. Fond memories of taking rides in it through the mountains. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
