Put a value on my Broken Cobra

[Zack]

I have too many cars. Too many projects.
I have to learn to let go of things, because Im a hoarder of sorts. (Just with cars )

03 Satin Silver
45k
Whipple 2.9
Built 4.6 with mildly ported heads, GT cams and Livernois Springs.
9.5:1 Compression
SW Longtubes
Return Fuel system with triple Fore Hat, Walbro 342's, -8 feed, -6 return, Fore rails....E85
Proformance TH400 with Brake, Ultimate converter and Huge trans cooler with Fan. Gear Vendors OD, B&M ratchet shifter.
Nation's electric Alternator with remote voltage regulator.
Lowered in all 4 corners.
10" rims in the back
Normal mods to the IRS including DSS Level 2's
Really nice interior with Gray inserts.

The bad: It dropped a valve seat on #8 last fall. I drove it right to the garage and it has sat since.
I have a QA1 K-member to go with it, uninstalled.
I also have a BNIB killer Chiller uninstalled.

So, with a little elbow grease and less than $1000 in repairs/parts, you'd have a badass Cobra.

Whats it worth? :-o

Zack, I think it may be worth your time to fix the car and then sell it. Running Cobras sell easily and for a lot more $$.

Id fix than post for 25K, although if you fix it im sure you wont sell it lol

Seperate Killer Chiller???

 

[Flyn]

I know what the hoarding is like.

As a kid, I had a '70 GTO, 2-'71 LeMans, a '66 Coronet and a '70 LTD as a daily driver all sitting in my parents' driveways.

no way if sold broken

i wouldnt pay anywhere north of 12k broken

 

[FirstWorldProblems]

i'd say $16k broken.

are you certain the valve seat is the only issue and the shortblock is fine? I know it's not likely, but if there's no definitive way to tell i would drop that number significantly

 

[Zack]

If I fix it I wont sell it.

I just wanted to see if I could avoid a ridiculous loss selling as-is.

Ive let my hobby get the best of me lately and its affecting my relationship with my woman. I have to re-program my brain to give her 51% of my time like I once did.

Valentine's day strikes again.

haha no thats definitely not it.

Ive put her on the backburner for too long to attend to people's broken cars.

 

[deviantlx]

find a new girl. j/k.


your reputation on this board is pretty good but thats only going to go so far as there probably isn't anybody SERIOUSLY interested in it.

in the real world you would be lucky to get 12k broken.


heres an idea. sell it for 12-15k with the contention your going to fix it for someone provided they pay for the labor and parts. take the deposit, fix the car and pick up the remainder. that way your forced to sell it once its fixed....win win.

 

[Flyn]

haha no thats definitely not it.

One, or better yet, two nights a week dedicated to doing things your woman likes goes a long way towards her forgiving you for spending the rest of the week on cars.

keep cobra, sell a marauder or 3 (not the black one)

 

[VenomousDSG]

Let me know if you do end up selling it, I'd like to take a look at it.

 

[serb82]

If it was me, not on a time crunch or hurting for money, I would part out all the high dollar aftermarket stuff with partial trades towards stock stuff. That cobra with built / hurt motor, eaton and stock trans worth about 8-10k. I would have to guess u can prolly get back 6-8 k in your aftermarket items.

Way it sits 12-13k. It's a beautiful car, low miles but age kills it, already 10 year old car. Loan would be high interest or cash buyer.

I would be happy to swap blowers and alt. with you if you decide on part out.

 

[Zack]

The entire point of me estimating its value was to gauge whether or not Id be willing to let it go as-is..... SO I WOULDNT HAVE TO WORK ON IT.


I appreciate your responses. I paid 12k for it broken with no 'impressive' parts on it, Im certainly not going to lose my ass for nothing.

I'd come with a truck and trailer for 13k tomorrow. Cash in hand

 

[ChromeCobra]

just dont work on a marauder for maybe one day and fix the cobra.

This guy is on the right track.
Fix it, if you don't want to right now just put it in the corner until you're ready to.
Don't work yourself to death though man, it's just not worth it!

 

[Zack]

Guys, all I asked for is a value.

 

[IZZy]

Sorry Zack...
I'd take no less than 20-22k for it as it sits.
