Found a great deal on a unassembled Mark 3 Roadster the other day. Looks like I will be starting another build for myself. Lets see how long I can hold on to this one

I know I said I would never do another donor build but found a great deal on a 94 Cobra with just 20,000 miles on it. Check out the engine on this one. Thanks Hurricane Irene. Price was right too at $4900.

Just went through all the pertinent receipts that I got with my donor
$30,000 in performance parts, Dyno work and labor. CRAZY
Gt 40X heads ported and polished
Ported and polished Cobra upper and lower
Power dyne supercharger
Cold air kit
42 pound injectors
Billet fuel rails
Aftermarket high flow water pump
7 quart pan
Aluminum pulleys
Aluminum radiator
Anderson B2 cam
Roller rockers
3:73 gears
Auburn diff
King cobra clutch
Aftermarket shifter
Aluminum drive shaft
Bear brakes front and rear
Boyd Coddington wheels
Michelin Pilot Sport tires
Tubular upper and lower rear control arms
The list goes on and on. I should get all of my Money back on this donor
both are awesome deals Mike... Selling parts off the donor, you "could" end up under $10K for the complete car (including body and paint)
You could end up with the lowest cost build of all time.
