Since I miss not having a second fun summer car and they seem pretty reasonable since people want the SN197 Retro look of the 05 to the current Version...

But for $20K-$25.5K you can get some lower mileage kept close to stock and seem like they are very decent condition and well for less then the price of a entry level 2013 5.0 GT and the ease of modifying the Cobra maybe time to buy one since the bang for the buck performance is hard to ignore.

Plus if people are not into the old edge pre-Retro styling Ford had in 99-04 to given the SN-95 a mid-model refresh and a Car that can be kind of a sleeper and most exterior and interior trim is easy to find at the wreckers or at a discount by aftermarket companies.

Those cars are pretty stout. Throw a different pulley on there and you'll be ripping on everything.

Those still go for for $20-25K? That's ridiculous - they're like 10 year old cars at this point. So much better paying the extra for a new 5.0 with a warranty.

So much for a 69 Boss going last night on Mecum for $550,000. Right now $25,000 might seem like a lot for a 10 year car, but it does have the possibility of increasing in value over the years.

Yes. They are almost like domestic Supras. There is a finite number and less and less every month. I think they will start to creep up. A couple of years from now somebody will put a low mileage odd color one on ebay for 90k.

I LOVE the terminators. Ive been looking at them a long time.

The problem is finding ones that haven't been abused. I'd be very wary of buying one with more than a few bolt ons.

Cars aren't investments.
