two worrying factors are non mileage listed and no interior pics. Not to mention those trannies had synchro problems so check it out good.

V8 is where its at but I agree with everyone sayin for that price just go for a 4V, definitely would not regret it, that and I would be a little shy of car with a lot of mods to it already, never know if it was driven hard and put away wet... great looking car though

I want the spoiler. I'm starting 2 hate my stock GT 1. This car would b ok as long as it has lower miles like Mr Graystang said. I got 2 wonder y the didn't list the cobra spoiler? That has a heavy price tag 4 itself. U know they talked about the cobra brakes.

So the car has 71k miles on it, and what exactly are you guys referring too by the 4v? because from what i've seen so far in CT/NY/RI/NH any 00'-04' cobras are going for like 12-14k and all i have is 10k to spend. And mach 1's are like 20 grand so...yea lol

'96-'04 Cobras and '03-'04 Mach 1's are the only 4v Mustangs Ford made.

You can find '99-'01 Cobras for 10k with decent miles.

You can find '96-'98 Cobras for same miles even less with only 20 less HP.

Don't mess around with GT, if your gonna get a V8, get the best.

haha that must be one heck of a mach1 if someone is asking 20k for it... if it was me i would shop around a bit more but its still a good looking car and would be worth it as long as nothing is messed up with it
