Starting 1993 Cobra Terminator Swap 03-04
Finally decided to pull the trigger and try a swap since most of my customers do it.. Picked up a True red 93 cobra 77k miles.. I have a few 03-04 cobras but i think im going to use one of the 04 with a 2.3 whipple and black suede seats... Im using all the drivetrain with the IRS.. Keeping the interior stock but using 04 column as welll as seats. Not real sure when ill be starting it since i kinda of busy all the time. lol. ill post some pics soon.

either way. i hope you're kidding cuz aren't both those cars ones that hold their value?
ps. love the teal 93 cobras

lol.. Im putting the 04 drivetrain in the 93. Foxbody swapped mustangs bring good money seen them go for $14k-20k... and thats not in a 93 cobra... Ya your right the 93 cobra is a rare car but im doing the swap in it because i wanted a cobra.. It was probably worth with 77k miles 12-14k at the most... Now it will be worth around $20k when done but ill probably have close to that in it.. But im not doing the swap to resell it, im going to keep it for a while i hope..Sit it right next to my 2.8kb 03 cobra..

You should just sell me the roller before you do the swap and lose all the value.

I'm sure theres value and it will be cool but a large crowd of potential buyers will turn away.

Actually with what will be done with the car i can guarentee that it would sell quicker down the road with the 03 04 swap.. Im not planning on selling anyways so not real worried about it. i will post pics whenever i get started.. Shouldnt be too bad. If wanted to take to the track it would easily be a 9-10 sec car with whats going in it.
