    FOR SALE: 04 Redfire Metallic Cobra for sale asking $28,000 obo.

    Honestly, I don’t have a clue on an asking price bc of the issues with the car, so I’m all ears on what it’s even worth.

    FOR SALE: 04 Redfire Metallic Cobra for sale asking $28,000 obo.

    I’m really just looking for the payoff or close to for the car. Payoff is $28k First the bad: Bought the car from a dealership in Dallas in Oct of 23 and have maybe put 30 miles on it since. To say I was extremely disappointed is an understatement. I had to buy all new tires and replace the...

    For anyone who was curious my Cobra finally got Dyno’d

    I posted a thread a few weeks ago about my 04 Cobra that I had bought without inspecting or test driving the car. Well, the car finally got put on the Dyno yesterday. Unfortunately I’m out of town for work so I wasn’t able to grab a video but the car made 440 to the wheels. Not very impressive...

    I’m the guy who bought that 04 Cobra without inspecting the car first.

    What it looks like was just some water may have gotten in there. The spark plug well actually looked extremely clean and I couldn’t find any oil or signs of leaking. I bought some easy outs yesterday so I can drill the sheard bolts for the coil cover so maybe that’ll help keep water out once I...

    Ok.. this side of the motor is missing the coil covers.. it looks like someone broke it off. I have to drill out the snapped off bolt and use an easy out to get em outta there. But 10-4. Thank you!

    I’m the guy who bought that 04 Cobra without inspecting the car first.

    I tried searching the other threads but only found information on #3 cylinder. I only had enough time to pull half the plugs but if I have the order correct, this is from cylinder 8. So out of the 4 this was the only one that looked like this. Shoot me straight fellas.. kinda screwed or all the...

    Is it worth trying to restore my 04 Cobra??

    I’ve made sure to read every comment in this thread bc I know yall have way more knowledge about these cars than I do. There’s been a lot of great point’s brought up about stuff I hadn’t even considered or thought about. I have faith in this shop but I’m definitely not going to have the guy run...

    Is it worth trying to restore my 04 Cobra??

    The shop I’m taking the car to specifically deals with Mustangs. The reason they stopped working on the 99-04’s is bc of their age and end up just taking up room in their garage. This is their words, not mine by the way. They said they always turn into bigger projects than expected and end up...

    Is it worth trying to restore my 04 Cobra??

    Besides the 4 new tires and battery, I’m not putting any money into it until I get the things you both had mentioned in your replies. At least at that point i’ll know where the car stands and what my next move should be. It sounds like you dont regret sticking with your car instead of selling it.

    Is it worth trying to restore my 04 Cobra??

    The car has like 56k-57k “original” miles clean car fax but heres the kicker. 10 previous owners. Althought since 2019 only about 2,000 miles have been put on the car. I talked to a classic car dealer at another place and he actually went through the history of the car with me. He was a huge...

    Is it worth trying to restore my 04 Cobra??

    The paint around the trunk is really the only spot that needs major TLC. All the other areas aren’t too bad actually, but still will need to be addressed. I never even considered a paint correction, that could definitely help the car out. Knowing that this car was built for the track and most...

    Is it worth trying to restore my 04 Cobra??

    I was trying to be as detailed as I could just to paint the best picture I could for yall. The car isn’t in terrible condition, it’s just not what I was expecting. Loke I said previously though, that is nobody’s fault but my own for not physically putting eyes on the car before purchasing. I put...

    Is it worth trying to restore my 04 Cobra??

    I knew the car was coming with some bolt-ons and I was absolutely fine with that. In my mind I was wanting something pretty close to stock and just have a nice clean weekend driver. I have zero intentions on taking this car to the track/strip. At the moment I’m contemplating either getting rid...

    Is it worth trying to restore my 04 Cobra??

    I mean it’s not a total pile of junk.. it’s just not what I was expecting.. but again that’s totally my fault to begin with. The other issue now is finding someone who will even want to touch the car. There’s about 2 shops in San Antonio and the one with the best reviews stopped working on new...

    Is it worth trying to restore my 04 Cobra??

    Oh, for sure… I didn’t plan on it. I’m overly paranoid about doing some real damage to the car.
