I want to see what the consensus is around here.I went to the big Fords at Carlisle show last year, and was severely tempted to buy a car I saw there. The car was a 96-98 Cobra, looked mechanically stock, but the paint was literally the most faded and peeling laser red I've ever seen in my life. Left in a cornfield bad. The guy only wanted like $2500 for it I think.Now I know this car would have been a ton of work to repaint and spruce up, but as a flipper I'm sure I'd make money if I'd have bought it. I tend not to sell though. I have an svo blower for my 96 gt, so the horsepower boost isn't as big a draw as it would be for some. Cobras are damned expensive to modify and fiddle with. But, hey, it's still a Mustang Cobra. If I were mustang-less, I'd have jumped on it in a heartbeat. I'd bet an Aztec Gold Cobra would look killer. At the time though, I was in the middle of restoring my FIL's 75 El Camino, so I didn't really have time  or space for another project. Kinda kicking myself for not buying it anyway. What would you guys have done?</blockquote>
