I worked for ford in 1998-2003. I got the privilege of driving a 2003 cobra brand new. I remember it revved so fast I could barely get it into 2nd before redline. Amazing car, you should keep it for a year like you did your vette.
That ice box is not to keep car running cooler, it's to cool the intake temperature in order to get the most boost out your setup. Without ice in it, it will make less boost.
@@fast02gt You know what he is trying to say! If the intake charge is not as cool the computer will pull timing and it will make less boost. With ice the IAT’s are lower, air is denser and computer allows full timing and thusly makes more power
There weren't a lot of convertible cobras made. When I ran around VA, I knew a guy with an incredible '04 terminator convertible in orange. It sounded incredible every single time that he gapped my 'vette.
Yes, all cobras came with the running horse. You did a great job with your research and presentation of the terminator cobra. Well done. I’d just add that the engine is not only hand built, but also factory built with forged internals which is why they are worth so much today.
Hey Craig, Hang on to that baby.... I was the owner of 2 brand new 2003 Cobras. At the time, the first buyers had to order it sight unseen, and it took 9 months to arrive. I paid MSRP 34,784 dollars. That was an insane price for a Mustang back in 2003. If you plan on selling it, sell it as is... If you plan on keeping, try and locate an original super charger, intercooler and related items. Soon after I had my first one, people were swapping out for the Kenne Bell Super charger, so they are around. The weak link is the IRS, and people were swapping them out for solid axles for drag racing. I still have the Window Stickers, Drag Strip time slips and the STV color brochure that came with them. My first trip down the strip, 3 weeks old, I was matched up with another 2003 Cobra. They actually did that on purpose. The other Cobra left his IRS axles in pieces at the lights. They only came with the 6 speed, no automatics were manufactured. The Snake on the front is stock, there wasn't a Mustang Horse. The chrome wheels were an 800 options. I had the chrome on 1 and not the other. The clutch on Cobra's is a leg buster. You couldn't sit at a light for over 2 minutes without putting it in neutral. Both of mine were hardtops, but I think the ragtops would have a great value.
The terminator Cobra is gaining a lot of value because people are turning them into a drag car, my cousin works for Ford all over the world I mentioned this to him and he said if you can keep it you will triple your money. I have a huge collection of gt and mongoose bikes
Terminators will always be special cars. They get a good amount of shade from people and even other mustang owners but it also gets respect. Love my 04 and I’ll never part with it.
Man that huffy with the 6 speed shifter was also my first bike. I totally forgot about it until you showed it and it bought back so many memories. I remember the shield on the front, the colored accents, and the shifter was so cool. Thanks for keeping that bike to give me those memories
In 1986 Martin Aparijo signed my VHS copy of Rad at the traveling GT BMX freestyle show--I've also had the 80's BMX bike bug since then. Surprising how many car guys have bike collections too! Awesome episode!
It’s WAS one of the best superchargers you could buy for a terminator but it’s old and inefficient compared to the newer tvs and whipple they have available for them. The older KB blowers heat soak real bad and don’t nearly make as much power as a newer tvs or whipple, especially on pump gas.
Romeo was where the engine was made. Romeo Michigan is where ford used to build their engines. Started with engines for industrial equipment and lasted up till the Coyote 5.0. Closed at the end of '22 and moved shop down south or to Mexico.
Checked your site and FYI, it is not a 10th Anniversary car. It is the 10th anniversary of the Cobra since 1993, but not something associated with a Sonic Blue conv.
Black Cherry tsi's are extremely rare now, and ironically my favorite color for the 1g, yet it's one of the few colors I haven't owned yet. My first DSM and the one that taught me a ton was a red 91 AWD tsi
That's a lovely Car Craig. Right place and time again lol. I lost my phone but I'm back now. Hello Craig from all in Ireland. Keep up the great work mate for 2023. I will be with you the whole way. I can't wait. Happy new year Craig and family xx
6:34 it just doesn't have UPGRADED belt and pullies, I bet the supercharger pulley is smaller which increases the boost since the turbines inside the supercharger will spin faster.
I grew up poor, and i had a Dyno Air, i loved that thing i busted my tail to hussle for $ for it. Many good memories and some very blurry wrecks and hazy rides back home!!
Hey Craig, I follow you on UA-cam and enjoy your content. I would definitely consider keeping the Mustang SVT Cobra. You will probably never find another one as nice and with low mileage. It would make a great addition to your 1990's collection. It is already 30 years old and will only go up in value. Love the blue and wish I could buy it. I drive a 2008 Corvette conv. LS3 six speed. I would like to know when you are going to buy that Ferrari?
Did you watch the video? The cobra is a 2003 which means it might not even be 20 years old yet lol. As far as value goes it will only go down. The pandemic inflated prices, but they are coming down again.
04 cobra owner here...the engine was built in romeo michigan, hence the name romeo plate on the motor, also its a cdc light bar, its actually not a rollbar
your turning into an MTV episode of celebritys showing off "this is my classic Eagle Talon", "this is my Mustang Cobra Terminator", "this is my is my Skyline", "this is my Viper" haha i love it! BTW what is the latest with the house you built, and the boat we haven't seen that in ages!
04 cobra owner here, as i said on the last video, would be a mistake for you to sale this car, it is a RARE car to have and to keep this i ASSURE U...the color is called sonic blue, if i did not have my 04 mystic vert and 04 silver coupe cobra, i would actually get it from you.
Hey Craig love the car man! Just wanted to make sure you know your Cobra is "sonic blue" not mystichrome. You have arguably one of the most sought after colors. I'd buy it if it was a coupe!!
I love the cobra so much, I was the one who detailed it at the auction and it was amazing to see it there. Enjoy it man

This ☝️
Ooooh!😃
Yup! Cold air is denser.
Lmfao what? It’s not going to lose boost because you don’t have ice in it.

My ZY is one of 135 or some number of that. 😂They are a blast to drive... Mostly stock too.

I'm an outdoor guy !! I love my Porsche 911 Cabriolet.. I've had several convertibles over the years.. Loved them ALL.. !
This is still my dream car. One day I will own one. Owned 7 different gt models.
There are still good deals around. You will get into one brother.
It came with the Galloping Horse Emblem. Nothing against the Cobra Emblem, but the Horse filled up more of the empty space and looked better.
Really like the added current status Bit..

This video needs 5 like buttons! Cobra, S6, Viper, JDM, BMX collection!

I had the bike, too. Got for xmas in 1990..! memories..!
That Cobra is so cool.
Hay your a pro, sweet mustang, it's fast for sure 💯

Craig!!! Mickey Thompson and Carol Shelby in the same statement? BRO!!! Cheers from Canada.... you rock .
Keep it, you wont be disappointed! What a beautiful Cobra
🐍 🐎 & Keep it out of wet conditions!
If your going to put that mustang up tell spring don't forget to put winter fuel stabilizer in it
That Cobra is a keeper Craig
You have a lot of toys Craig! That supercharger sounds cool.
This thing is so bad ass. You bought an absolute gem!
Shocked that was found at a dealer auction.
Appreciate the context! 🤘😎
One of these days I would love to come up to New Hampshire and buy a car off for you. Love your videos keep it up Mr.
No more calls; we have a winner!
That S6 is sweet perfect daily
It’s WAS one of the best superchargers you could buy for a terminator but it’s old and inefficient compared to the newer tvs and whipple they have available for them. The older KB blowers heat soak real bad and don’t nearly make as much power as a newer tvs or whipple, especially on pump gas.
Keep that reservoir stocked with ice! Agree on the Whipple for it!
Romeo is the manufacturing plant area for Ford. Niche line is the special hand built line for building the motors.
Romeo was where the engine was made. Romeo Michigan is where ford used to build their engines. Started with engines for industrial equipment and lasted up till the Coyote 5.0. Closed at the end of '22 and moved shop down south or to Mexico.

R.I.P. Mickey Thompson.
Finally no stupid pop up captions!
The engine was built at the Ford Romeo engine plant in Romeo Michigan. That’s where all the mod motors are made.
Kent super scooter 👍 the memories of when my brothers and I all had one. Good ol days.
romeo engine plant is where the engine was assembled, Romeo Michigan, the plant closed this week : ( , nice car
im a camaro guy, but i can appreciate this pony
Hope you have a good alarm system.
Romeo is the plant it was built at. Some ford eng were built at the Windsor plant. That's sn incredible car
So happy to see the love for the mustang! I'd have car covers stuffed with pillows on that viper and the skyline! 😅
Drooling over that mustang!!!!!!!!!
Your bro can really paint a car! That Talon is slick.
Check the voltage!!! Alternators are known to go bad and when they go BOOM, fuel pressure drops. I see it getting 27.5 or so being a vert.
Hi from Orlando. Hope you enjoyed the nice weather his past week.
That's a lovely Car Craig. Right place and time again lol. I lost my phone but I'm back now. Hello Craig from all in Ireland. Keep up the great work mate for 2023. I will be with you the whole way. I can't wait. Happy new year Craig and family xx
Side skirts, mirrors and rear deck spoiler are also unique to the 03/04 terminators
Came with drag radials!! Nice! Good for about 5000 miles or so.
Noticed the rear window open on the cobra during the garage walk thru- hopefully that got closed up before you left!
Beautiful Pony 🐎
I still can't believe after 22 years if they made those. Convertible. Wow.
Been watching prices at the auction have been crazy. Hope u r having a good trip.
Let's get 100 likes b4 Craig gets in!
6:34 it just doesn't have UPGRADED belt and pullies, I bet the supercharger pulley is smaller which increases the boost since the turbines inside the supercharger will spin faster.
Great video. That scooter brings back memories, mine was black.
I can’t wrap my head around how cool that car would’ve been in 2003 when it was new
First, and btw I love your vids they have helped me a lot and I just wanted to say thank you.😁
Same here! Craig is as real as anyone can be! He’s one person I credit for my current business success!
Such a shame that people like this guy buy the these cars just to turn around a flip them essentially ruining the market on these.
Liking the lulu jacket
Have the pants to match😁
My dream car 🥰
Currently got a 04 gt at 17
You know how rare your car is.
I do research it for some hater in the last video.
awesome car is the kenne belle the 2.1L or the 3.2L
My first bike was a Huffy BMX/16. It predates yours by a few years. Just a few.
Such a fun car to drive. 😅🤟🔥 Looks really nice brother.
Love your content. Your coming down my way and I have a few DSMs in my storage that I’m working on. Love the Terminator
Those tops are the same from cobras to baseline v6’s, all came with the heated glass & same materials same headliners
I like the car. The mustang cobra is very beautiful but what concerns me is the aftermarket modifications and tuned correctly
I grew up poor, and i had a Dyno Air, i loved that thing i busted my tail to hussle for $ for it. Many good memories and some very blurry wrecks and hazy rides back home!!
Sounds really good lovely engine

That doesn’t seem that “special” to him…..def a seller car
Yeah, the fact that he has to read everything off of cue cards says it all. Sell it to someone who understands what this car is!
Did you watch the video? The cobra is a 2003 which means it might not even be 20 years old yet lol. As far as value goes it will only go down. The pandemic inflated prices, but they are coming down again.
Nice Cobra
The mustang you got isn’t mystic chrome ! It’s purple for sure
Romeo means it was built in Canada
04 cobra owner here...the engine was built in romeo michigan, hence the name romeo plate on the motor, also its a cdc light bar, its actually not a rollbar
Keep the skyline and the cobra. Ditch the rest 🙂
Respectfully, the Terminator you have is Sonic Blue,not Mystichrome. Mystichrome has matching steering wheel and seat inserts. Love your videos.
He mentions sonic blue at 4:16 and 6:15 Honest mistake on his part I guess 😁🤣
Nice car, Craig!
your turning into an MTV episode of celebritys showing off "this is my classic Eagle Talon", "this is my Mustang Cobra Terminator", "this is my is my Skyline", "this is my Viper" haha i love it!
BTW what is the latest with the house you built, and the boat we haven't seen that in ages!
Is that the Talon you stole from that older lady?
Romeo Engine Plant - Ford Corporate
Hey Craig just wondering why you don’t have like a dedicated garage for your cars 😅 especially since you live that dang viper 😅
That black smoke when u revved didn’t look to hot bud. Yes we know it’s cold but it’s gonna need a rebuild
It’s nice, but the hard tops are more sought after than the verte . Love the cobra though
04 cobra owner here, as i said on the last video, would be a mistake for you to sale this car, it is a RARE car to have and to keep this i ASSURE U...the color is called sonic blue, if i did not have my 04 mystic vert and 04 silver coupe cobra, i would actually get it from you.
On my way to Kissimmee now.
That's sonic blue. Mystichrome blue was in 2004 only. I own a 2004 terminator convertible also. I love mine you should keep it
I've been looking at importing a car from Japan. can you go through what you had to go through in order to do the importing
Craig was the Corvette a 2021? Or 2001 as you stated? Looked way to new for 2001. Awesome collection bud!
Just a FYI it's not a 10th anniversary car, saw on your website it was listed as one.
Awesome video as always!
I love my Cobra
I thought you would have put it on cars and bids.
Love the bmx . I used to ride allot
.
a 2001 C8? did anyone else catch that? lol
What’s the underside look like?
Mil subs here we come!
Romeo is the block! Sweet car the big question is this car for sale yet?
Great stuff man I appreciate it
Hey Craig love the car man! Just wanted to make sure you know your Cobra is "sonic blue" not mystichrome. You have arguably one of the most sought after colors. I'd buy it if it was a coupe!!
