Hello everyone! New on here.
Ive had three sn95s and now have had my 98 cobra for about 6 years now.
Starting to think about moving on but not sure to what...
I know my Bright Atlantic Blue color is quite rare which is the main reason why I bought it.
The big question is how much it may be worth over a normal cobra, and with these miles...
Shes got 172,000 of them. I know upgrades dont really equate to a higher dollar value but
most of em needed replacing anyways and I also had the bug...
So those are as follows.
JLT Ram Air, painted to match (kept original)
Flowmaster super44s
JLT Eliminator Chip
Ford Racing C Springs
Max. Motorsports adjustable clutch cable and quadrant
Mcleod Street Pro Clutch
MGW Short Shifter
Steeda ball joints and tie rod ends
Max. Motorsports Caster Camber Plates
Welded on Subframe Connectors
March Performance Harmonic Balancer

So just wanted some opinions on what she might be worth.
As a near 18 year old car theres a few things that might need repair like the top,
but overall id say shes in great shape.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Well I can't get over how clean she is for 170K plus miles. But that is still quite a bit of mileage.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

The value of this car is greatly affected by the market you try and sell it in. I've seen similar cars in my area ( New Jersey ) sell in the 6,000$ range with lower mile cars needing nothing sell in the 8,500$ range. As far as I'm concerned the color of the car is irrelevant in the pricing unless it is a Mystic paint code car without a single flaw

I live in Los Angeles. So convertibles are a pretty regular thing out here.
Ive read that there are only about 250 of these bright atlantic blue convertibles out there.
Thats the main reason I thought it might be worth a bit more.
I was hoping to get somewhere in the 6500-7000$ range. Hopefully thats not too unrealistic.

I don't think you are too off base with your thinking, I just historically haven't seen color affect the cost of these cars much (mystic excepted). For example in 91' they made a limited run of 7-up colored fox convertibles. They sell at a cost in line with every other 91' produced.

I love BAB Cobras. Best color on that body style in my opinion. The mileage is going to be the depreciating factor though. I say put 6500 obo and let them talk you down. Just know the least you want to take for it, then be ready to tell people no and hold it for the right buyer.
