Wow, only $900 for an 03? What’s the story?Bought it in august of 2016 for $900. Sourced all OEM body parts online. This is the last pic I have before bodywork and paint. 34k miles and clean title. View attachment 1707278

Saw the shell on craigslist. The guy stripped everything out of it for parts and was just trying to get scrap value. The body had rippling in the roof from kids jumping off the garage on it, lower 1/4 damage from the original owner hitting a curb and extremely faded paint from being parked outside by the ocean in rhode island its entire life. After buying the IRS, bumpers, skirts, hood, trunk lid and wing, not to mention the interior panels, I'm about $3800 into it. I jumped on it because I had a full "cobra" (5.3 bore/stroked aluminum block) swap in my saleen but decided to go coyote platform in that after falling in love with my s550. So I figured why not? If it takes me 30 years to finish I still have a 34k mile cobra built completely by me and the way I want it. Once I actually start the bodywork I'll start a thread on it. Also became good friends with the guy parting it out. If anyone needs 03/04 parts in the northeast I'd be more than happy to connect you with him.Wow, only $900 for an 03? What’s the story?

I dont as of yet. After the body is done its probably going to sit in storage for 10 to 15 years so I figured I'll just start a thread once I really get going on it. I have other projects taking up my time right now.One hell of a deal for sure and thanks for sharing the story!! Do you have a build progression thread on here to follow from when your first got it up to now?
