Craigslist cobra body parts help?

[9838stang]

I was wondering on what you guys thought i should offer this guy for the front bumper from his cobra he has.

I am looking at getting the front and rear bumpers from him and possible a could of other small pieces. but as far as the bumpers are councered what should i off for the bumpers here are pics i was thinking maybe 75 to 100 for the pair.

Nothing is wrong with mine, i just was looking to give my car a new look and get rid of the gt badging on the car since will... yea it isnt a gt.

If you offer him 100 for the pair and he takes it that'll be a good...great deal. I'd go as high as 175. If you really wanted them
-Edit- the rear bumper is v6 style, maybe 125-150 for the set

 

[9838stang]

He just said 30 bucks for the front.

Why can't I find deals like this!? Fml

$30 for the front is awesome! I paid $50 for an OEM cobra bumper, have to get it painted though..

 

[Gold4.6]

Omg that's a steal take it. I paid 150 for mine

that bumper appears to be beat to shit. lots of material missing at the bottom.

 

[TanTop94]

Yeah it is alittle beat up, mine didn't have any damage to it other than just paint. But if your only missing the bottom, no one is really going to see it lol!

 

[9838stang]

I was just wondering if the lower part provides any other kind of structure. i know that the side and the top are the only parts that use bolts and nuts and the bottom uses push pins

 

[9838stang]

this is my main idea just in my black car with cobra bumper and chin spoiler.

I would pay twice what he wants for that bumper, honestly. It would still be a great deal. Yes it does look very worn but you should expect to have to repaint it anyways if you're getting it off Craigslist.

not nessary, i got the rear and front for different people for 20 each and just need to be buffed

I got a new cobra bumper for 170-180 in town. Don think you could beat that price even if you were given a used bumper. (Talkin plastic fixing and paint prep a used one would defiantly need.)

I don't know. I hate body work. I'm a tad biased.

I went and looked at the bumper tonight in the guys garage. the 94 cobra he had every panel has dents, the hood has a few holes in it.....

but the bumper, i looked at it and where he cut to make room for the intercooler, the guy cut enough of the bumper in a way where the cut comes about where the fog light. So driving down the road you will see a square chunk missing out of the bumper, and had actual cracks and tears where urethane taps met the metal plates and the taps on the urethane bumper where broken only half was maybe, and i mean maybe good. stress cracks so bad you could maybe poke you finger though it.
basically where i edited the bumper like above where you would see the cut away, like this

 

[9838stang]

it was like that on both sides

 

[Gold4.6]

Damn that sucks!!

 

[Steve-Oh]

Ehhh like said above it's not really worth anything in my book if its all cut to shit. Yes you are correct there are three tabs that are missing where it attaches to the underside:

 

[Steve-Oh]

More importantly there are two metal angle plates (one on each side of the top part) that attach to the fender. These are only pop riveted to the bumper and people tend to just rip the bumper off without detaching the bolts for this first.

 

[9838stang]

and that is what happened^

 

[Steve-Oh]

and that is what happened^

Mine was like this when I bought it on the passenger side. Not a huge deal since it still attaches to the inner fender but I did notice a bulge at the seam to the fender on the bumper. Could be annoying to some but I'm not to concerned about it.
