1996 Mystic Cobra

[sicK96GT]

One is for sale here in Texas. Has some sun damage due to sitting in the sun, 87k on her. He only wants $5,500!

worth the time and effort to get this car looking beautiful again for that price?

The 96 mystics did have a problem with sun damage on the rear bumpers. I've seen numerous mystics with the sun damage on the rear personally. As long as its mechanically in good shape, I'd offer $4800 cash and pick that bad boy up

btw- im in Texas too. Wheres this car for sale in case it doesnt work out for you?

 

[sicK96GT]

Kyle Texas, its been on creigslist for a month or so, check it out I think its under Austin.

damn, that's some damage though. and that seat is USED!

but nice car. cam's right. for $4,800 it may be worth to bring its shine back since mystics are rather rare.

 

[streetstang03]

and that seat is USED!

dont worry, yours will look that crappy in 10 years too

 

[sicK96GT]

if you find that car and pick it up anytime soon, you HAVE to bring it by waco for me and toplessgt to check out.

I wouldnt be able to get it till after my car was sold.

Quality is Job #1

IMO, you buy a Mystic for the original paint, not to have it repainted.

If it's repainted, IMO it's no different from getting a regular Cobra and then painting it Mystic after the fact.

 

[CobraRed_96_GT]

its a cobra, man buy that ****it

 

[5.0's 4 ever]

I would buy it

Problem is there are not many mystics out there that have great looking original paint except for the really low mileage ones. But people still want in the upper teens for them. These cars are over ten years old now and a majority look aged because people actually drove them instead of sticking them in a garage. Mine needs to be repainted thanks to the florida sun.

Damn. I'm lookin' for a nice project car and scoring a cobra would be sweet. If you decide not to buy it, let (me) us know.

what?

 

[san~man]

what?

What don't you understand?

 

[streetstang03]

thats a retarded reason

a repaired mystic is a true mystic. a black cobra painted mystic isnt a real mystic. what dont you understand?

A mystic in Kyle? I think I know this car. What's the seller's name? I know I've seen it. There aren't many Mystic rolling around that area.

I would agree.

While you cannot claim that it's all original, which in this case would matter; you would still have a rare mustang built to original spec.

yeah it's like restoring the car amirite?
Like the Elanor being actually a 67 fastback, even tho it's faster than a GT-500 - the GT-500 is still worth WAY more restored to factory spec

 

[RedGTvert]

I wouldn't touch it, even with the low, low price of $5500. Besides the paint being a mess, the interior is crap.

It's gonna cost you a boatload at some point to repaint and repair the interior. The seat covers are no longer available from Ford.

You would be better served saving up some more and getting one with 50K on the odo that is cleaner than that. You could probably find one like I am describing for $12K or so. It will cost you at least $5-7K to bring that back.

A bit miffed about your ban are you?

For one, a car in that condition will need to be painted, and fully painted at that. In THAT sense, it isn't original and isn't worth as much in my book. A repainted car isn't worth as much as a car with original paint.

A fully original car, any collector car, is worth more than a restored one, unless it's FULLY restored meaning frame off concurs resto. No Mystic is going to go through that type of resto.

How hard is that to understand?

True, you could say "Ya, I have a mystic, but it's been repainted." The bragging rights on a car like that aren't as much to me, that's all.
