For Sale: 1994 Cobra Mustang – Built 408w, AODe, 8.8 Rear End1 $7k
1FALP42D2RF178850 mileage 140k~
7k Price is firm, not parting out anything. Please read before sending questions that are covered here. The car is located in Gun Barrel City, Texas. If you send me messages that are clearly covered here, I won't waste my time responding.
I purchased this 1994 Cobra Mustang in 2008 after my 1995 Cobra was wrecked. I bought it as a roller from a guy in Oklahoma and initially swapped the drivetrain from my wrecked ’95 into this car. I ran it for a few years, but after popping a head gasket, I got the itch to upgrade.
That’s when the car evolved into its current state. I traded the stock GT40 Cobra drivetrain for a buddy’s running, driving 1967 Mustang combo. He had freshly built the engine, and though it had only been around the block a few times, it was a solid build without much mileage.
I started the engine swap project around 2011. Since then, I’ve completed another major build (a Miata), and recently bought another project car, meaning this Mustang is likely to sit for a while. Rather than let it gather dust, I’m considering selling it, but I’m firm on the price for now. It’ll come with a ton of parts.

Body
- ZERO RUST – This car has been garage-kept as long as I’ve owned it and shows no signs of having been driven in the rust belt or snow/salt.
- Minor dents/dings, with the worst being near the top of the windshield from the hood being raised too high – a minor fix overall.
- No major accidents; it seems like the car might have had a very minor rear hit, which I suspect is why the bumper was swapped to a 96-98 bumper.
- The car is very straight overall with no issues I'm aware of.
- OEM Cobra front bumper
- OEM rear 96-98 Cobra bumper (actually says "Cobra," getting hard to find)

What’s Left to Do
So obviously I can’t tell you every single thing needed, but here are the major items to complete the swap:
- Fuel lines from the rail to the stock lines and fuel pressure regulator. The car will come with a Race Lab FPR (pictured). The fuel tank is brand new and has never had gas in it yet; it also comes with a new Aeromotive 340 pump.
- Water lines and a radiator upgrade are recommended.
- The car will come with a transmission cooler with a fan, but you’ll need to make the lines for it.
- Shifter and cables need to be set up, and the console will need some cutting to fit.
- The car doesn’t have front seats but will come with stock seat rails.
- Reinstall the engine harness, hook up the Microsquirt, and set up the extra gauges, etc. Finally, get a tune done.
- Exhaust past headers.
- Assembly of the front-end brackets. The car will come with a new low-mount alternator bracket, AC lines, new dryer, pulleys, etc.
- Brakes: The car has OEM Cobra brakes on one side and GT brakes on the other. The GT brakes should clear the Bogarts with a spacer. Bogarts will be sold with the car for an additional charge; the tires are expired.
Car sold as is, where is. Wheels on the car are not mine. It can be sold with the Bogarts, or you can bring something, or I can get some cheap rollers for it.
