I really didn't need or want another car but this just sort of landed into my lap and I felt I would regret it later on. Car has 115K orig miles on it. Black/Black cloth interior. It was my friends car he had a aftermarket hood that the hood pin let loose and smashed out the windshield, 1 tiny ding on the roof that you can't even see and a scratch on the fender. Other than that it's straight as an arrow. He felt it was time to move on and I decided to take it over and make it nice driver. I havent had a chance to get pics of my own but here are a few from when he had it. I'll prob start a build thread for it when I have a chance but in the meantime this will have to do. :cool:

Thanks guys, it's going to make a good driver. As for what I paid lets just say I got a good enough deal that I just couldn't let it pass although I in no way wanted or needed another car.

so do you have to replace the windshield or is that already done?
yes, I need to do it. It's smashed to pieces but luckily that was 99% of the damage other then a tiny dig and a scratch on the fender. The wiper cowl was undamaged so I'm pretty stoked. I have another windshield in a parts car so I have that covered. Just need a day or two w/ some free time to put it back together and on the road.

Thanks guys, Overall the car is in pretty good shape for the age. Normal wear and tear and the recent damage. It will be a good project. Alot of little things to get it where I want it. I can say I cannot wait to detail it. Other than washing this thing has prob not been detailed in years and its driving me crazy. The paint needs some time w/ some time w/ compound and a buffer. It feels like sandpaper. Has some potential to look alot better. I'll start a build thread for it as soon as I finish up things on my GT. Should be fun. This is a 94. Just has the 96-98 one on it. haha Putting a 96-98 hood on it too. Should look good and will clear the intake since a stock hood doesn't.

Yep I could tell it was a 94/95 by the rocker panels. No doubt it's a true cobra since it has the cobra spoiler with no brake light on the trunk lid. the the correct trunk. I've seen many Craigslist ads titled cobra with correct bumpers, emblems but a GT spoiler and trunk. Nice car bro! Post some more pics of that beauty!
