I would have to ask why over pay for the name on the title in that case, they all most all ways will command a higher price unless the market really changes. other then that there not really special. You can build one better for a hell of a lot less if the body is the appeal. That's one thing I will never understand, people who search for a old original or limited production version of a car, over pay for it just to cut it up and redo almost every thing...I'm intrigued by Cobras and Cobra Rs, but honestly, I feel like I'm in the cat-bird seat. The investors don't want the ones I do. I like the Cobras and Cobra Rs because they represent the best of the fox body, which has been 'the car of my life,' and I think it'd be cool to own one. That said, I'm not like most 'investors' in that I don't give a damn about an original car. I don't think there's anything special about an original car other than the fact that I'd know no one else has screwed anything up on it, yet. To me, a fox is SUPPOSED to be modded to the owner's liking, and I don't think a stock Cobra/R would be fun to drive. Therefore, it's exceedingly unlikely that I'll ever own a stock one. On the other hand, I would happily pay less money for a modded/ higher mileage Cobra/R, if in good shape, with some nice mods. So, since the title is named, "What would YOU pay..." the answer is ~$20-30k. But I'll also answer the question as some are interpretting: the market value, I'd guess is in the $50-60k range.
I'm almost positive that's the S351 I went and checked out in person for @95steedamustang, I'll have to go back through my texts/emails with him to figure out what he was asking back then and there were some issues with the paint being "stained" in some places. It looked like a good driver, but certainly not up to K and K standards especially since he would have needed to repaint it.Can anyone help me price this one? If I can figure out what the market value is, I will make an offer.

Tuned at HPP Performance in Dallas... they do a good job. Had one of mine done there.
I think the aftermarket parts detract from its value, but they're so rare, it's hard to figure the fair market value. I would appreciate feedback & a sanity check on what you think it's worth.
What's he asking? Car is cool as hell.Badass! Thank you very much. I still don't know what the value of it is, and I wouldn't mind paying what market value is for it because I would still enjoy driving something like that and not feeling bad about beating on it. However, there's no way I'm paying what he's asking, now.
Unreal. If this guy's telling the truth, he should take legal action. It was clearly fraudulently represented with the intent to profit by selling for more than market value. Also, this guy is hard to feel sorry for. He says he got screwed on 2 previous deals and still didn't learn buyer beware... To buy sight unseen is F'ing crazy.Ouch a one of 10 and it needed all that? the value on those are the unmolested bubble cars, still rare though. Old school lock wired heads and a ton of work redone on it so it was probably beat on pretty hard. That's a what are you willing to risk purchase, some one might over pay for it but that's a big if... Kind of reminds me of an s351 clone this guy got taken on.
