Yea they did come on some premium GTs...I like those wheels on 94-98s...you need a wheel spacer out back tho cause they are really skinny. You have any pics of them on ur car?

I love this one:

That headlight doesn't fit quite right....that means there's other **** that doesn't fit too. I'd pass.

due to some very minor cosmetic damage. The damage was so minor that none of the vehicles airbags even deployed. We replaced the vehicle's Front Bumper, Hood, Radiator, Core Support, and misc components.


it takes a pretty good hit to damage the radaitor and core support. the core support is more than cosmetic damage


ive learned my lesson about salvage/rebuilt cars. it may seem like a good deal but if they get hit and need repair you will just screw yourself because the insurance company wont give you sh*t.

Buying a salvage car isn't the end all like everyone makes it out to be.

My GT had been to hell & back, it drove straight as an arrow and the body panels lined up better & the paint looked better than factory.

Point being, get the car on a test drive and see how it reacts, pop the hood and see if you can visually see where anything was cut or repaired. If it atleast looks clean, drives straight, no odd vibrations or pulling, it might be an affordable way to get into a car you really want.

Just be ready to have a hard time selling it and never expect to trade it in & not lose your ***.

BTW, everyone who is going bananas over the hood/fenders matching up, it looks like the hood isn't latched. [&:]

check this out guys.. i know it has a SALVAGE TITLE but they claim that the car was repaired to the point that its like if it was never in an accident... WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK????? THANX

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-...3756.m14.l1308
yeah....i was checkin out this cobra the other day. it took me a minute to find/figure out why it was so cheap...then i saw the salvage title thing.

here is what i think....as long as you arent worried about: will i be able to sell this car with no problems later when im done with it?

then i say go for it. the only thing is....when it comes time to sell.....no one will want to touch it b/c of the salvage title. a good example of that is this very car.....this was several days ago when i was looking at it.....and it still hasnt sold....and thats dirt cheap for an 04 cobra with 18k on it. but if you arent worried about selling it later....and want an 04 cobra...i would do it!!
