I was busy with work for a few days. One weekend, I was bored and got on Craigslist again and looked for mustang parts. I was absolutely shocked by what I saw.
There was an ad for a 1995 Mustang GTS that had been wrecked. I knew that car. The paint scheme gave it away. It used to be my friends car that he had sold about two months prior. The kid he sold it to in South Carolina had evidently wrecked the car while goofing around with it. The one thing I knew about this car was that a LOT of money (I mean A LOT!) was put into this car (I will show you the modification list in my next post)...
I called him and texted him without a response. He finally texted me back, but the news was bad. He told me he had sold the car...
A week later, I received a text saying the buyer backed out and if I wanted it, I could have it. He was asking $2,200 for the car. I talked him down to $1,200 and got him to throw in a set of 17x9 Cobra R wheels and tires. I told him I would be down the next day to pick it up:
Uhaul Car Dolley: $49.54 for the day
Fuel: $59.00
1995 Mustang GTS: $1,200
TOTAL COBRA BUILD COST: $8,841.00
Here was the photo in the Craigslist ad. The gloss black/red pinstrip/matte black paint scheme is what made me recognize the car:
Here was the Mustang when my friend owned it:
Here we are picking the car up to bring it back to NC (my dad in the picture):
