Default thinking about leaving the 5.0 scene

i been trying to fix up my 94 and 95 gt's for a couple years now and one's going and giving problems and the other is well just not going at all and is not looking to go any time soon so thinking about selling them somehow sometime and buying a 04 mystichrome cobra that'a wrecked around close to home but not hurt bad and only has 1800 miles on it, but i'm just not sure what i really wanna do i'm just tired of all the problems i'm getting out of my car now and want something with power that's gonna be reliable and gets decent gas mileage and don't need something else fixed every time i drive it just thought i'd get this off my chest and see what you guys thought about it

i dont think that a salvage title cobra is gonna fit that bill.

Sell them both and get a brand new cobra from a dealer. Option 2, sell the one that is in worse shape and get that cobra and strip it down and rebuild it bottom up. Just fixing it wil lead you to where u are now again.

well the cobra isn't hurt that bad at all and i would be able to fix it properly cuz that's what i do for a living and i don't think it has a salvage title. i think it's actually still clean titled but i def can't afford a new cobra way to much money for this bodyman although it would be real nice

There is also option 4
sell both
buy a ford ranger 4 cylinder and use as daily beater(or another eco vehicle)
buy that wrecked cobra and rebuilt it from the ground up.
make sure u list the truck as the daily driver with ur insurance
