Every Cobra specific part is worth far more than the regular 5.0 parts.
Wrecked 93 Cobra pricing?
- Thread starter T-Bolt
- Start date
You mean they have their own website? Yes there really is a lot of differences that people never notice or think of. As for what the wrecked one is worth depends on the title, and condition of the car before and after the wreck. ( need pictures) could be anywhere from 3000 to 6000. no matter I would sell it whole. get some pics and the build#
Pics:
Can send larger versions of them if needed.
Dunno why the windshield is cracked like that, my neighbor was wearing his seatbelt and his head did not hit the windshield. He was doing about 35 when the car turned in front of him and had enough time to push in the clutch and hit the brakes, but had 10 feet to stop. He walked away with a broken thumb and a sprained wrist. Not bad for 14 year old car.

Cash buyer, I sent you a PM have him give me a call, Thanks
You missed his point. The skirts, wheels, etc are the only items that bring a reasonable amount of money or are hard to find.
Heads, intake, t/b, MAF, injectors etc, can be easily bought anywhere. All of the other parts you mentioned can be bought at a parts store (brake items/ somebody buying those parts used is a fool IMO) Sorry the steering wheel is not cobra specific either. You can find a cruise delete steering wheel easily too
FYI. The shifter is not any different than a GT
Wow, that doesn't look bad at all. Very repairable, only an idiot would total it.
I was thinking the same thing on the shifter, and you may be correct about the steering wheel, but I dont think I have ever seen a non-cruise wheel that was leather? That wasnt on a 93 cobra. Start looking now and let me know as soon as find one and can prove it wasnt from a cobra, I think we will be too old to drive when you do.
Interesting. I have never seen one of those steering wheels that wasn't leather wrapped.
EDIT.. Just a quick glance I saw that late model resto offers a non cruise leather wrapped steering wheel

I agree. If the car is priced right, it is defintely worth fixing to me
My point exactly , all the cars I have ever seen without cruise were cheap cars mostly 4cyl cars and did not have the leather wrap. The on a the resto place is probably a cobra replacement.

Only cars that recieved the leather Wrapped wheels with no Cruise was the SSp cars that had no Cruise. Or a Special ordered lx in 93 that was a Stripper car, and had to be a 5.0 no 4cyl cars recieved a leather wheel of any kind. But there are very few stripper LX 5.0 cars out their, I have seen a few was a Green 5.0 93 Coupe on corral about 6 months ago Stripper car, no ac no radio crank windows, no cruise, but had Leather wheel and sport seats.
Basically, just as Lee said.
Yes, all those parts are indeed different. Look at the stickied thread at the top of this forum (I started the thread btw) and you'll see a pretty complete list.
The point I was making wasn't that a Cobra is the same as a 5.0. I'm just saying that very few of the parts bring premium pricing over standard 5.0 parts. Different parts doesn't necessarily make them more valuable.
Lets go over your list.
heads - with so many variations of gt40 heads out there, plus aftermarket aluminums, they aren't highly sought after.
intakes - same deal as heads. Plenty of better performing versions out there, plus FMS even has them new still. Or pull them from the explorer motors, etc.
TB/MAF - MAF is a unique calibration, so no plug and play for anyone without the X3Z computer. TB is slightly bigger, no real net get and not sought after either.
Injectors - standard 24# injectors that you can buy from 100's of sources
X3Z computer - no biggie, there is no more demand for one than the A9L series. You can even program an A9L to be an X3Z with a simple piggyback chip
4 lug disc rear - bring a little more than a standard 8.8 rear, but I have seen them dirt cheap in salvage yards
front discs - standard parts store availablity, taller hat, no performance gain
Brake booster Perportioning valve - parts store available, only necessary if brakes are upgraded.
Has different cam as well - I gave away my stock one, standard 5.0 price
different skirts/wing/tail lights - those do indeed bring premium prices, although there are reproductions now for all. But those who want original pieces will pay more than standard 5.0
Grill insert - easy aftermarket piece
wheels - brought a premium before the repros came out, easy 1000/set. A good set now brings about 600 or so last I saw. Heck, before the repros, the center caps were bring 50-100 EACH. But not now.
Shifter is standard 5.0.
There was a thread going a while back about the steering wheel issue, I can't remember what was decided on it though. I want to say there was another Ford product that was just like it. Perhaps a Taurus or Aerostar van at that time?
T5 is hardly ANY different internally, and no one will pay a premium price for it used, as it is rated at 15 ft# more torque over a stocker due to the phosphate coated gears and other odds and ends.
Shifter is standard 5.0, nothing special there.

Regarding the windshield, I'll wager the airbag is what busted it, that happens pretty common.
Would be a shame for the car to be parted out, IMO.

Actually, the turn signals were stock. The ONLY mods were a K&N drop-in and a flowmaster. There was also a hard-wired radar detector, but that stopped working years ago.
I think you misread my post. I have not seen a non leather wrapped steering wheel. All of them have been leather wrapped
never seen a non leather wrapped steering wheel

I have had at least 20 93 Cobras, So I think I know the differences quite well, And no, no 93 Cobras came with a non leather wheel. I have seen it in a 4cyl car with no cruse, just plane black rubber wheel. And as for the Shifter it is Different than a 5.0 they are Black not Gold in color, They have different materials where the shifter rotates. I usually get at least $200 to $300 more out of a Cobra Trans versus a GT, Just because they shift much better. and The Booster and Master CYL you get from parts stores are Rebuilt Junk, and as far as I know You can not even find a Perportioning Valve for one. I see you point but you are basically saying the parts are only worth that of any 5.0, I guess the cars should be the same price as well, HMMM.
..........EDIT.....2771 pretty much covered my thoughts....
The vin and the fact that Ford actually numbered these cars is what dictates the price of them over a GT.
