[QUOTE="stangbear427, post: 4373606, member: 46931"] Woah... I think you misinterpreted that- that isn't what I was trying to say at all. What I meant was more along the lines of: if you DID pawn it off, to the editor of said 1331 mile Cobra, he could put it in the car and no sane person would care that it wasn't the original, nor would most even be able to tell, if it was done right. Therefore, it's lack of the original drivetrain doesn't diminish it's value as a collector. As far as I'm concerned $5K was an insane steal for that car. I just paid $10K for my 100,000 mile Cobra, and I would trade it to him, even swap, in a heartbeat. There are lot's of people selling their original Cobra parts. For the cost of a new regular 5.0 shortblock and Cobra heads, intake,TB, MAF, cam, injectors and valve covers plus the $5K for the car, you'd have what is essentially a brand new '93 Cobra for about what I paid for mine- and in that brand new bone stock condition it would sell for $20K+ all day long. It strays from my focus of priority to get into it, but that's a helluva investment if you ask me.
