Progress Thread 1993 LX-Cobra Conversion Project

Man... this didn't age well. If you had gotten even a rough one at that time and did nothing it'd be worth 15-20k now I'm sure. Just insane what those cars have done value wise.

The real thing to do would have been to buy 10k worth of bitcoin.

The problem with any of this speculation is that you really can't predict the future, and I didn't buy the car as an investment. It was just supposed to be a car I could drive around without being overly concerned about it.

The one I really missed out on was back in around 2009. A guy had a Black 93' Cobra that he had wrecked. It was on Craigslist for $2,500. It needed a LR quarter panel, rear bumper cover, the spoiler and hatch. It was a big job, but it was definitely repairable. I had an appointment to go see it and the cash in hand, but I ended up getting horribly sick with a stomach virus. I tried to reschedule for the following day, but it was already gone. That one still stings a little.
