Just got my 97 Cobra sunday, this is the only time I've been away from it for more than 5 minutes... now if you'll excuse me...
Do you still have it now that it's been 4 years?
Probably not
@@DrTobacco @Diego Naranjo ALOT has happened since then... So I had the 97 Cobra for just over a year, then I upgraded to an 04 Torch Red Terminator which I had for about a year. Unfortunately I'm a college student so I had to make a sacrifice and sell it so I didn't have to literally kill myself by working my ass off full time while being a full time Physics student to pay for it. Since then I've had some other fast toys and started riding motorcycles. I've had a ZX-6R, ZX-10R and now I have a Yamaha MT-10. I graduate in about a year or so, and I will be in the market for another terminator. And that's pretty much my life of the past 5 years. Looking back maybe I should have just kept the 97, it was reliable, paid off, and while not as fast as the 04, was still a fun car. But I can't say I haven't had fun over the past 5 years either. Owning that 04 was the best times of my life so far.
This dude is a Cobra connoisseur.
nateyzf 'o
No he just has common sense to check out the car before he buys it.
@@chadbrattain7985 we have a smart ass here
@@wickedhouston5538 people like to make fake vins. Also people like to convert 99 in terminator cobra
This video can be replaced with a single sentence: Look at the VIN.
Jordan Hillard was just gonna say that lol
Yeah but these are neat little things for Cobra owners and nerds to know!
Not true, people vin swap all the time amigo
@@ionracer24 That would be very hard to swap every VIN on the entire car...And Illegal.
Benjamin Turner agreed. Even Unique Performance who were LICENSED by both Shelby and Foose to make Elenor replicas got in trouble for VIN washing.
Some random person selling a fake cobra would not only have to have a title wth a cobra VIN, a clean title, not salvaged, then take a non cobra, replace the dash VIN, the sticker on the drivers door, and every single fender and bumper.
I still have my 1994 SVT Cobra I bought off the lot back in that year... of course it's black with black leather interior... I still have original Cobra floor mats👍
Beautiful car man! Not surprising you have a beautiful SN-95 Cobra with the work you do. I got a 94 Crystal White Cobra. Less than 40,000 miles on it! I'm keeping it forever!
I really like the 3rd brake light info. I just looked up a few on Craigslist and looked for that and found it
First of kudos on the beautiful Cobra you own. Can't never hate on a Mustang. Been my favorite car since high school. Your video was very informative. When I was only sixteen I bought what I thought back then was an original 96 mustang. However, at the time I loved cars yet I was not quite not as knowledgeable about Mustangs as I am today. I really bought a 96 2 valve 4.6. Mustang GT. I still own this car and I love it. I put nice mods on the GT which makes the car really fast. Yet I condemn myself every day for nor being informed about what I was buying because of my haste to get a Cobra Mustang. I can't fault anyone but myself for not doing my research. I wish I would of seen this great video before I went on the hunt for my favorite car in the universe. I'd take a beautiful Cobra or Shelby Mustang over a Mercedes any day of the week. Great video. Beautiful car.
Man i miss this channel , it was probably one of my favorite channels back then.
You are a honest person, like myself I love these 5.0 Mustangs.
Good video for sure. I'm on my second 95' Cobra. Definitely knew everything except the rear brake caliper bracket. Anyone looking at a Cobra that doesn't know anything about them should watch this. Well, anyone selling their "GT/Cobra"s or Fauxbras that they're trying to pass off as real should watch it too. :)
Just got a 1998 Cobra vert .. Thanks for the info ..Even though I had the Vin # the motor was changed and help me confirm the motor was replaced with a dohc Cobra and not a sohc dressed up.. My Cobra vert is triple black enjoying it !
Lots of accurate info here. Well done, sir.
The Cobra also had round fog lights. Good info. Thanks for the video.
I’m buying one this week and this is an awesome video!
That was a very good vid. Nice work. I enjoyed watching that.
Very informative. I knew 90% already but learned quite a bit as well. Excellent video.
Nice vid. I should be getting my car soon and this will help me out as Cobras and GTs will be high on the board.
Great video. I appreciate you sharing these facts.
This video helped me out quite a bit before I bought my 1998 Cobra vert
Awesome...also the 95 had black interior with optional cloth seats that were black with a grey insert on just the seats... And there was also a front strut tower brace.
i have a black on black coupe 94 as you just explained
Thank you for helping out everybody that isn't as well cobra educated as you.
Although i wont use this information because im happy with my white 1995 mustang
When the Terminator came out it was game over for the 96 too 98 cobras.
That was the latest generation..Game over for every cobra...wym?
@@franciscomaldonado9559 The 93 cobra is clearly most valuable today. But power and true performance the 03 cobra was the king. Until the my gt500 came. But it was really game over for all mustangs when my 900hp supersnake came along.
Lol this guy has no idea what he’s talking about 😂
great video! would love to see a walk around of your cobra just saying what all you've done to it
Hi from the UK hi have v6 and v8 gt 5liter your information is sound and good advice take care trevor
Awesome video! I didn't know Cobras as well as I thought I did. Had no idea they had different headlights.
Spot on. You really know your stuff. Btw it is rio red, arctic white, onyx black, and pacific green at least on 97s
Hey good video,I just started watching them,is ur shop in Indiana?from what I see u do great work,& I may try & get some work done.. Anyway good video's keep' em coming.
Marty Collins yes sir we are. Email me if you ever need anything. Tkoresto.tk@gmail.com
I just put a 99 cobra trunk and front fenders on my 93 to make it look more modern. Looks pretty sweet. Next year I’m going 2013 Shelby power plant in my 93, direct swap, not cutting required, easy.
Love my 1998 cobra bought it new. Saw it on the front cover of Road and Track had to buy one.
Very good video. I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
I don't know if someone commented this yet but I have a 95 Cobra and one thing you forgot was the factory 17" spare tire which is pretty rare. Good vid!!
You can get those from a Lincoln mark 8
Thanks man, going to look at one tomorrow!
great video with some good info
Love your vids man. I finally bought a real 98 cobra but before that car I had a 95gt I did a clone to it was my mix of fav cobra parts but had that grey interior lol. Cobra wing tho the real ones have the insert tail lamp aftermarket ones wrap around the bottom of the wing. I did your fog only mod this weekend thanks!!
Just bought a 94 black on black cobra with 139k miles supercharged. And checks out from your video. Gotnitnfor only 4500 and runs great. It runs hot because I don't have a intercooler. So no way to have any airflow sitting in traffic cools down on freeway but it sits warmer then sitting in the middle like all other vehcals I've driven. Guy who owned it before me said he drove it that way for 9years never had an issue.
Subscribed for the content. Thanks.
I just bought myself a 1995 Mustang Cobra .👍thanks
I'm a novice mustang owner and want a cobra. First thing I ever learned and this was from youtube. Amber on lower part of tail lights.
i keep coming back to look at those wheels! hot damn they look sick as hell! were they already hypercoated when you traded for them?
Thanks for the info. Nice Mach 1 btw
awesome vid man
Honestly, all the stuff you mentioned can be either bought or switched out at the Junk Yard. I saw a crashed cobra st Pick Ur Part about a week ago and the VIN # was missing. Almost all the parts you mentioned were missing too. Even the break booster. Having a clone isnt bad either. I myself will get a 1967 GT500 Clone with a Cobra Jet Engine. Having a clone is no biggie.
my son has a 96 that been in the family since it was new, never been painted ,we are getting ready to freshen it up.
Clean ride brotha!
Also in 1996 the cobra finally got the modular 32 with 305 hp which is a big reason why I decided to grab a 96 sn better engine to mod with. Next will hopefully be the "Terminator" but totally agree with you about all the fake sn-95 cobras on UA-cam.
thank you very much for the information.
Thnxs for the update 👍
Dam that is one clean Cobra. Very very nice.
Good info thanks 👍🏻
great vid, thanks. id really like to know, though-where did you get the tail lights with the amber? ive been trying to get these for mine since i bought the car and cant find them anywhere. thanks!
+Dennis Sbertoli Try Google moron..........
Great video ! Thanks ! I have a 95 gt.conv.green/beige.
nice video I own 1998 mustang gt 5 speed I decide to stop mods on the 4.6 2 valve instead I'm saving the money for gt500 swap 5.4l and t56
Good video< I totally agree with you about how everyone thinks there car is a Cobra these aren't to bad but the fox body's are brutal if it.s got a V8 they call it a cobra.
Where did you find the Euro-spec tail lights with the amber turn indicators??? I see them on Craigslist at least once every year/two years
although barely noticable, the grille on the 97 -98 is slightly bigger, this was done jointly with radiator upgrades to alleviate cooling problems the 96 Cobra had
My '96 never had cooling problems. Just the opposite. It was notoriously cold blooded like its reptilian namesake.
This video was helpful, thanks!
Dang man thanks for the info.
going to buy the 94 mustang gt today I will post a vid of it this afternoon
If someone is ignorant enough to take the bait on a clone, they deserve it. JUST MAKE SURE IT'S VIN CODE "D." Never knew about the rear caliper / mounting bracket difference.
Just bought a 97 cobra, black exterior, black interior, sadly it gets quite hot inside on summer days haha, but I believe another indicator is on 96-98 cobras atleast the vin will have “P47V”
I had that exact intake on my old 95 mustang gt 5.0
66.
That is how many times COBRA is said in this video. I had fun counting and also learned a new word, "Cobra Value."
I would love to have a cobra I have a normal Mustang but I am trying to fix it I love your channel greetings from Mexico
just wondering. would it be better to get a cobra or do a coyote swap in a gt? I understand the value of a cobra is more but putting that aside which would be better? thank you awesome vid. you really did a good job keep it up
+cavalierz24fool What is your intent with the car? Do you want a collectible, or do you want to drive the car?
A genuine Cobra will usually be worth more than any kind of swapped car, but a Coyote swapped sn-95 will be more powerful than any SVT offering made during those years.
You will likely spend more swapping a Coyote into a sn-95 than just buying a SVT Cobra, especially a 94-95 Cobra, but with the least powerful Coyote version being 360hp(F-150), the Coyote swap will end up being a faster car. Also, unless you've already done a sn-95/Coyote swap, it will be headache start to finish, and will nickel and dime you to death, so if you aren't REALLY mechanically inclined, then just buy a 96-98 Cobra, slap a Novi-2000 on it, and enjoy. If you really want to know the car, and feel like you've built it yourself, and really want to have a (relatively) unique Mustang, do the Coyote swap.
If you're just looking for a car to buy, stash away, then sell for your retirement, buy about five stock sn-95 Cobras now, while they still aren't super collectible...
Just bought a 99 GT cobra conver. Doesn't matter the car will fly
5:12 some indy pace car cobras had automatics. Rare but true
Only three of them that Roush made for the track, nothing for retail.
@@stonemichaels1774 From what ive read, they started as GTs and were converted to cobras. They were probably used as actual pace cars.
They only came in "Pacific" color's.
Excellent video....
I have a 99 cobra myself love her to death. Don't see too many in your year in my town and yours is cleaaaaann nice car man
also you should get the SVT build sheets.
Nice video tko. I own 1995 Cobra "R" and it makes me laugh how many comments I received stating that it is a fake! Keep up the good work.
Awesome! Thanks. You should make a video of a walk around of it!
97MstngCobra wow what colour? how many horse? was it a 5.0? super super rare car a 95 cobra R
Thanks for your interest Ziggy, check out my UA-cam channel. All 1995 Cobra R's were white with a 351 Windsor engine.
97MstngCobra badass. 300 hp 365 lb-ft of torque. Unicorn of a car.
Good info
i got a 98 cobra svt red with tAn leather and convertible top with 69k original miles for sale but im in the process of rebuilding the motor
Bought a 2004 for 16k. 151k miles. Clean title. 10/10 outside and in. And it's real.
Expadise Mods heyyyy you don't want that trash bro. Let me come get it from you!!!! I'll put it right next to my other toys 😂😂😂
Damn thats pretty expensive my dude. You can get an 01 and put the same blower from 03-04 all you need is the upper and lower intake which most people just take off the whole set-up with intercooler for 1500
Damn lol, way too much.
I have a 1994 cobra. Did you ever experience any dimming are flickering lights in the cluster and the battery gauge Dimming when headlights are on and brake lights are applied even the engine doesn’t sound right goes with the dimming flickering. Especially the fuel pump sound noise goes with the dimming as well. I heard people tell me it was the fuse link but I don’t want to purchase it from American muscle for $50 and still not work. The alternator and the battery are fine
Nice Cobra, good info. Those tail lights must've cost you some bucks lol
thanks brother!!!!
Very Clean Cobra ! what Kind of wheels are they ?
Thank you
The only thing I couldn't verify is the difference mentioned at 7:08. At least for the 94-95 Mustang GTs, they had that same black strip around the Alternator.
great vid, and car....
Thanks for the video man .. I just traded a $700 96 gt for a 94 cobra d code one of 333 with the rio red black CLOTH interior bro ! If anyway you can help any more red flags of my car I’d thank you
Thanks, great info. I own a few mustangs including a 1995 Cobra R with just over 800 miles and many have said its a fake. Its amazing how much people don't know, lol.
If it's a cobra R then pop the hood and let them see the 5.8L 351. I have a 95 cobra R and a 95 cobra. People always ask what's the difference until they look under the hood and see the cobra has a 5.0L and the cobra R has a 5.8L
@@chadbrattain7185 The big problem with the R's is that no one drives them and they look like a v6 on the inside. Seen one in person with 9 miles on it, and plenty online with just hundreds of miles.
@@Cobradaddy true, I drive my 95 and 94 5.0 cobra a lot. But my 95 cobra R only gets driven on car show day's and one year I drove it to foxtober fest because I had a stupid moment and thought about selling it to a guy that was there. I'm glad I didn't because I love this car. But yeah it only has 24,000 miles and I think that's high. I bought it for $15,000 5 years ago with 19,000 miles on it. The only way I would let it go is if I traded for a Shelby GT350 or GT 500 depending on year and miles. Or a 67 fastback or early 70s mach1 in good condition.
@@chadbrattain7185 That's low but high for the R, my 95 I think is around 60ish. I don't drive it much anymore, probably 10k in the last 15 years. It's waiting for a TT setup I have. Thought about the 350 a few times, but you just don't see clean 95s around and definitely don't see clean 1k hp ones, so I'm just gonna build it. 500s are nice, but no manual no purchase. The R I saw with 9 miles I think was sold for low 20s. They usually don't sell for what they are asking for, seems like even tho they're rare, not many want them.
@@Cobradaddy I agree about the manual transmission. I have two automatic mustangs and they both are the 5.0L pushrod motor and both are around 25 percent over factory with about 300 hp each and they are very slow compared to the 5speed mostly factory 5.0. The automatic transmission from the factory are just to weak for any real performance mods. Unless you get a good after market transmission with a extended hp and torque ratio, which is around $4000.
beautiful car bruh
Actually if you check the production line of the 94-98 Cobras the 94 was made with tan interior, saddle leather interior, black cloth and saddle cloth.
You can paint a car. I have a 94 Cobra that came rio red that was painted jet black. But the title will tell you everything you need to know about the Cobra being real. I do have a Cobra that was a car that was stolen at one time so the title numbers had to be replaced by the DMV. But the replacement title does have the original title numbers on it near the new title numbers.
tail lights are different also 94-95 only had those taillights and the 5.0 engine well last year they had the 5.0 anyway just few more if anyone would like to know
Those features were specific to the 94-95 SN95 Mustangs as a whole. Those had nothing to do with being a base model or GT or Cobra except for the intake on the engine. 95 was the last SN95 to have a 5.0 engine, and the last year for the horizontal bar tail lights
I am looking at a cobra this weekend and I saw it had a cobra on the front grill instead of the running horse. I have only seen the front end so far.
Bad ass wheels
I know the 95 cobra r and 2000 cobra r came with the "r" rims in silver
Question for anyone, did the 98 cobra come with the SVT emblem on trunk lid? I see some that have them and some that do not. I just had mine painted and would like to know if it was produced with it.
yes all 98 cobras did. the only sn95 cobra that did not are 94. im sure a few late built 94s snuck out with a badge though. only way to get one is to get lucky and find a new old stock one. swap meets are great for that. I bought 6 NOS ones and sold a few for a couple hundred bucks. very hard to find. and people with nice cobras are willing to Pay for the correct badge.
Your from Indiana too :D nice lol
I wouldn't say, "no ones gonna downgrade". someone told me I was stupid for downgrading putting a 98 cobra teksid block into my 03 cobra. when you think about it, how different are the 03-04 motor and the 98 cobra (which the teksid is actually stronger). the reason I did this was my cars burned down in a garage fire and my cobra motor was in the shop luckily getting built. I got it fully forged, lowered the comp. ratio for boost, punched 0.30 over and ported & polished the heads, valve job, springs and the intake was port matched. the issue that made the 03-04 heads flow better without cylinder #7-#8 getting hot was taken care of so the b heads will flow just as the 03-04. so in my case "downgrading" wasn't actually that bad of an idea. I just wish the aftermarket intakes didn't cost $2500+.
ucnhtmenow1 ok
Was that 223k or 23k miles? Im in the process of buying a cobra a little beat up has 151k but runs good just needs some tlc the owner doesnt have time or money for it anymore.
What about the tail lights, with the amber turn signals?
The black color of 1995 Cobra what kind of black is? Mark? Or number of paint? Somebody can help me need repaint the hood thanks
E ai blz tem mustang cobra ano 1995 aqui no Brasil quero trocar os cams para o carro ter mais cv de força o que você me aconselharia nessa troca ????
But all of my interior says cobra the dash says mustang and then cobra in the steering wheel and the vin mastches as what a cobra would be
be liken those wheels
What brand are the "R" rims/wheels? Thanks!
