These cars are a piece of modern muscle history so I can only see the price go up over time. The terminator is the only mustang I've ever wanted. After putting on a 2.3 Whipple I can't see myself driving anything else. It won't be fasted car out there today but it's just a blast to drive it makes all the right noises and with traction control off it's wild ride. There is no fancy technology It's a drivers car.
jmak 03cobra Yes, it does make the right noises and with the traction control off is a total animal. The prices RN are really climbing, this car in a few years is going to be really expensive
Ordered... took possession in June ‘02... Satin Silver... #46... first in my state to own a Terminator. Still have her with 82k miles. They will bury me in it. Lol
Terminators are a blue-chip collector car, as Grieg Jackson of Barrett-Jackson collector car auctions had said many times before, "Keep your eyes on the Terminators, they will quadruple in value, sooner than later, they are the BOSS 9s of today".....these will hit over $100K at some point in time, buy NOW, while they're still somewhat obtainable....Buy low, sell high!!!
Justin SVT Thanks bro, this has been on my mind since I bought the car. There is no way that in 20 years or even less these cars will be at least doubled or tripled the amount of dollars that they cost now
@@TheMGChannel Hey man I bought a 04 Torch red Terminator that I bought back in March for 33grand with 29hundred original miles. Yes less than 3 thousand miles.The car is spotless. I already have been offered 40grand.I even think that in the future my Terminator will possibly hang with the value of both of my super snakes
Anthony Laudano Wow man that’s a great deal for an 04 with less than 3K Miles.. Impressive and yes you will definitely double your money in a few years no doubt in my mind.. Congrats on the purchase
@@TheMGChannel Also my vibrant red 93 cobra has doubled in value. Back in 05 I payed 17.500bucks with 17 thousand miles on the car.Today with 21thousand miles I can get 40grand all day and a year from now my 93 cobra will be 50grand not a dime less.
@@TheMGChannel Thanks man.I really think there going to ski rocket in value. I even think in the future you will see 75grand plus for examples in my condition.
I love the rawness of my Terminator and I made a big push to get one now before they hit their 20 and 25 year mark. Once that happens I think the prices will really start to climb
When do we think these cars will get stupid expensive? Trying to get one in a year but scared they will keep going up so fast that I’ll forever be chasing haha
I grew up in the real muscle car era where every hot rod had that RAW punch-you-in-the-gut feeling when you hit the gas. You drove by the seat of your pants and the faster you went the more the car shook and the harder your heart pounded! My first two cars were a 69 Dodge Charger and a 70 Challenger 340 four barrel, 4 speed. To me the Terminator is the last of those raw in the gut muscle cars. Compared to the newer generation of mustang and other modern day performance cars, the Terminator might seem primitive by comparison. But that is what I like about it...the raw, beastly appeal of a purebred muscle car! And besides, when you compare it to the new cars, remember it is 16-17 years older but it is still very competitive in performance. MG, I enjoyed your video very much!
tominator Wow you really have driving the real muscle cars ( 60s and 70s muscle cars ) I really believe that the Terminator soul compares to those old school muscle cars. From the way that it makes power to the way it feels. I’m very glad and happy that you enjoyed this video, I had a lot of fun making it as well 🙏🏻
I do feel they are very comparable. I love both, I am currently restoring a 68 Charger...but these cobras could put out serious performance . Mine puts out 675 rwhp on a low boost tune. Some guys with gen 5 whipples put out 1000 plus. In a ~3500 lb car. They have been making Shelby GT500s every year since 2010 basically...the fact that these were 2 year only makes them special.
@@425V8 Agreed! Terminator Cobras react so positively to any mods. Most other engines need to be reinforced internally before you go up in power. But not the Terminator 4.6L 4V DOHC. Many are pushing upwards of 800-1000 whp on stock bottom ends. These babies were built for boost! My 03 Cobra uses a whipple 2.3L Gen 2 with a 3.5" upper pulley to put down 621whp/595wtq. I have a 3.0" grip tech(whipple) pulley to put on if I want to try for 700whp, but I'm not in any hurry. Having a pristine mineral grey cobra sporting a brand new engine with less than 2000 miles on it, I plan to just take my time and enjoy my beast as she is without pushing it too much! I'll never put it on the track so for street fun, it's perfect as is.
I've owned mine since 2008 and still love it and it was my dream car since I 1st seen them in magazines in 2002. My wife would laugh at me because I'd go to the local dealer in 2003 and 2004 on Sunday's and look at them from every angle and even underneath.. I'm so thankful that I was able to buy one and still own it today.. I'm not too concerned about the prices as I plan on keeping till d day..lol however I wouldn't mind adding another to my collection. 😁😁😁 One small detail about your video, I noticed you referring a couple times that they had ARP headstuds... they do not, however they have ARP rod bolts. Great video I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I was the same way every time I used to see a Terminator when they were new or close to new, and even now lol now they are just really rare to see out in the street.

I’m very happy that you enjoyed the video as well 🙏🏻 it always makes me happy to see that someone enjoys this type of content
@@TheMGChannel oh man, seriously enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing more of your content. I live up in Canada on the east coast so my Cobra is tucked away until April or maybe even May. Are you Cuban? I've been to Cuba a few times and love it there, especially the people. Nicest people on the planet!
Nicely done sir! You are spot on about the Termi being scarce and valuable. I have an 04 Yellow Termi Conv and with a few mods and a good tune, I have 500 hp to the rear wheels on the dyno. Love my Termi!!
Brother you are dead spot on!! Those cars are so easily modified!! You see them beating Hellcat’s today!! Plus their light weight,, World beaters ‼️☝🏿☝🏿
I really enjoy your videos and I agree with everyone's comments below. I have two and believe the Terminator is THE mustang to own, hands down. Supply and demand is certainly changing the way these Mustangs are valued. They always exceed my expectations.
shane mason Amen brother! It was definitely the game changer for the muscle car era that we are living in right now, and it is considered by many a classic muscle car already
Awesome video man, I've been a pretty big fan of jdm since I was a little kid. I got my '03 GT a couple months ago, still needs a new engine but even then I love these new edges specially the 03-04 Terminators. I feel like I've really turned to the other side lol, I see jdm cars now and don't excite me too much as back then. My new dream car is this, the Terminator, one day man, one day I dream of having my own.
Never give up on your dream car, mine was always the Terminator cobra and when I least expected it I bought mine and it has been nothing but a blessing so far
I love watching your videos I also always share them where's my LS driving Buddies and they hate me for that I always tell them this car is the reason the Camaro stop to exist in the 2000s
You do a great Job MG! Glad to see you enjoying your dream car. Im happy to be able to drive my old man’s every once in awhile. I enjoy my Mach 1 with everything done to it. 2 completely opposite cars. Have thought about selling my Mach and having a total of the 3 Cobras in the stable. 2 Termis but my dream car is the 07 Red/white stripe GT500. Although I am nervous about the regretting getting one part as due to knowing SN’s all of my life and how phenomenal the 4.6 4v’s are in every variant from 96-04. And the fact the Terminator much more impressive in every category compared to the GT500’s. Love the channel, keep it up brother! Nobody posts as much Termi content as you! Alexsvt, Danny & Justin Johnson, and you pretty much, I try when I can!
Thanks brother! I enjoy watching your channel as well, I don’t post as much as I should but I try, I love your Mach 1, the car runs really strong for N/A. Shelbys are great 👍🏻 I also love the 07-09 GT500, I used to own a 2005 Mustang gt for 5 years and it was a great car, S197 are great too, I just loved the Terminator cobra since I was 14 I always knew I wanted one, and it took some time to get it but it was definitely worth it. You live in Florida as well right? Thanks for your comment bro, it means a lot to have another fellow New edge owner support the channel 🙏🏻
Totally agree with everything you said, you nailed it perfectly. Great video, and I especially agree with the rawness of the car I love how it just throws you straight back in your seat. Definitely a feeling that hasn’t been duplicated that I’m aware of. Keep up the great work
#1 cobra 281 holds the NHRA record against big blocks 5sec 250mph. #2 Koenigsegg used the engine in it's supercars. #3 cobra 281 built alongside the Gt40 supercar 5.4. #4 end of the era for the fox chassis saved the best for last. #5 world beating Mustang against supercars, it's in the league of supercars.
Placed my order as soon as the order banks opened, I had a 99 prior and was disappointed with it. Took delivery of my Black 03 Cobra Coupe in July of 2002. Still have it with less than 4k miles in the garage. I opted for the spoiler delete option, haven't seen many others. Mine is highly modified for drag racing, have thought about selling it over the years, but knew I would regret it. Guess I will keep it until I die.
I love the terminators cobra. I know this car is going to one of those classic’s . For a car that is limited to about 20,000 for 2yrs it’s great. I love the cobra because every other manufacturer went after the cobra. People really forget about another great Mustang that was only made for 2 yrs. in those 2 yrs only about 8,000 were made.The BOSS 302 from 12-13. I’m not just saying that because I have one but we can’t have this conversation without you including the 12-13 Boss 302. One of the best Mustang ever made. Thank for your dedication and shining the car to the world. Please review the 12-13 Boss 302.
Mr. BosSTANG Thanks man 🙏🏻 I’d love to drive one, I even consider buying a Boss 302 before getting my Terminator, trust me if I get my hands on one I’ll definitely review it, I just don’t know anyone who owns one, but I’ll definitely will try go drive one sooner than later
@@TheMGChannel that goes back to what I said that being that only about 8,000 produced they are hard to find. Just like you I almost bought a termi then I found my boss in CN. I hope you get to drive one. Good luck!
Man, I wonder what my car will be worth in the future...I have a Mineral Gray Convertible, and there were originally only 154 of these made in 2003. I figure that number is lower now after accidents, etc. The guy I bought it from thought it was a DSG Cobra so I got the car pretty cheap...$22K. But the door sticker has the paint code "TK" which is mineral gray. I already noticed an upward trend in prices over the last couple years. Most Terminators on ebay are in the $27--$35K price range. I even saw one last week started out for $70K buy it now, but he has lowered it down to $45K now. It has less than 5K miles on it!
Yeah I've noticed prices rising and the amount of them has dropped significantly. I hear stories about people buying Terminators 10 years ago with 20-30K miles and paying 17-20K dollars! What a steal! Now you find some with 80K miles listed for $30-35K, really sucks. There was one I saw for sale this week, it was a Redfire coupe, fairly modified, 22K miles, and it was listed for $50,000! No one will pay that much for one unless it's under 1,000 miles and still in the wrapper. Some of these sellers are just dreaming.
@@JordanSVT The worst ones are the dealerships that are re-selling Terminators at ridiculously high prices. Most of those cars just sit and sit but they serve to drive up prices higher than they should be. I'm glad I was able to get mine back in May at a good price because even after just 6 months the values have gone up!
@@tomkjr1 Back in early 2020 I remember seeing this one Mystichrome Cobra coupe for sale by a dealership, it had 29,600 miles on it and they had it listed for $29,999, it was in perfect condition and almost 100% stock. That's still overpriced but compared to some of the listings I'm seeing now, that Mystichrome was a steal.
@@JordanSVT I agree, because in today's dealer market, that same car would surely be listed for $35-40K. I would love to have a Mystichrome Cobra but I won't pay that kind of money for it. Besides, I made a terrible mistake with my Terminator purchases...I bought modified cars! And now I am irreversibly hooked on them. The raw power of a whipple Cobra pumping out 600+ whp is addictive and I can proudly say that I am HOOKED! lol
Ever since I saw these cars and test drove one brand new I kicked myself for not buying one. I told my wife one day I will own one, then in 2015 I had 2 fox bodies a turbo 347 and a supercharged 331 I had both sold and about 2 hours away on craigslist popped up a 2003 sonic blue with 55k miles that had suspension work all the weak spot upgrades done and all the bolt ons including a chrome 2.6 kenne bell with all supporting mods and all the chrome under the hood you could ever want. The guy said he had a 2 inch binder full of receipts for all mods including dyno sheets pics of mods being done svt paperwork and owners manuals and instructions for every mod that came with them all the mods were done in 2010 and at the time it had just over 50k miles on it so it only had 5k miles put on it with the mods and spent its whole life down in Florida and Georgia area. At the time I really had never thought about buying another color other than comp orange and had never looked at or thought about sonic blue. I went to look at it and saw it and at the price I couldnt say no especially with all the documentation. My wife had no clue I had it off the trailer and covered in the garage when she got home, I told her to close her eyes took her out uncovered it and when she saw it she thought I bought it for the dealership I worked for since I bought them all their used cars and I said nope its mine. She was happy and I talked about selling it a few months ago since I have had it since 2015 and it had 55k miles on it then and it now has just over 57k miles she has never driven it and cant drive it but the exact words out of her mouth were if you sell the car I will divorce you because I dont want to hear you say about another car you wish you never would have sold it like other cars I have owned. I cant believe to this day how many people when I get it out say they have never seen a real terminator in person that and how many people will stop and stare when you drive by them. I love my cobra and the newest svt added to my driveway my 2012 crew car raptor.
Wow great story man, thanks for sharing. I wish I would’ve at least test drove one of these cars when they were new, and your wife is right, you shouldn’t sell it, you will only regret it down the road. Terminators are only getting more and more rare, With prices climbing less people are actually driving, so spotting one down the road is very rare.
Same goes for the Lightning’s, I already own a cobra but I want a 2nd gen lightning before they sky rocket in value too but I want to buy a 1960 impala first then I’ll get a lightning
Bought one 2 months ago, best decision I could make. Mystichrome, 39k original miles, one owner, clean title. The car has never been beat up, garage kept, and in addition all the original documents have been preserved. A real gem. If you want to see it you can follow my instagram, dom_04svt. Keep up the good work and enjoy your terminator like I do!
Been thinking on selling my 2004 oxford white terminantor. But i know im going to regret it. Bought it from the original owner. To this day the terminantor still turn heads. Looking at your cobra makes me realize how mean and how much i love this car.
I’m happy that I can help you to realize that indeed you do have an amazing car, you will most likely regret selling your Terminator if indeed you sell it, plus this cars will only gain value in near future
Thanks you! I used to own a 2000 Mustang GT, I loved that car, I got it all stock and put a supercharger on it and made it really quick, I have a video showing all the progress on that car and more recently I used to own a 2004 Mustang GT, I love the new edge Mustang GT’s they are great cars. 🙏🏻
My problem is getting a stock or modded one. Either way they will have value but stock obviously will be with more. What do you think? Also it was cammed and I don’t think I want cams. I’ve seen prices rise just in the last 5 years. They continue to go up. I have to get one ASAP.
CashKC Well it truly depends, but I personally would stay away from one that has been highly modified. Bone stock with low miles will obviously bring the most amount of money, but lightly modded with some miles will just do fine in the future, and gives you room to enjoy the car without worrying so much about depreciation.
They are a special car my neighbor here in NY has 2 that he is selling at a good price I think a silver one and a dark blue! Imo though the best looking mustangs are the 13-14 years so aggressive and muscular.
@@kapss0832 I really like Sonic Blue, one of my favorite colors on these cars. It looks amazing with chrome wheels too, especially those CCW bead lock wheels. But Sonic Blue Cobras are pretty hard to find now, not many of them floating around the internet for sale.
Great video, and we talked about this before, but if common sense is a factor at all this car should surpass the Supra eventually.. I mean let’s get real which one is more of a breakthrough which one is better which one has more hp stock which one sounds better which one has a performance rotating assembly...These r mostly facts if u want to throw opinions into it we can also say this car is meaner and better looking and it also has the dna of a legendary car that has a proven rise in market value...
I really hope so man, I think that terminators are underrated even today. I can’t explain what it is, but when you drive this car you feel something special, and it might be in my head because I truly love these cars, but they are so fun and yes great looking and sounding cars as well
You feel like you really connected to the termi. Do your self a favor and review the last of the true muscle car , The Boss 302 lol. I’m looking forward for the review.
Stock Terminators will be worth a lot more than built, tuned and heavily modded ones, great car to get some power out of it but almost everyone’s builds theirs
Guranteed, but people will doubt it. But look at the 93 Cobra and Cobra R....the evidence is already there, will it take longer? Yes, they made more, but still it's going to happen sooner or later.
I will NEVER EVER EVER forgive myself for selling my Comp Orange 04' cobra... it only had 31,000 miles on it when I let her go.... Dumb just Dumb.... I heard the car is in IOWA now and has been since I let her go..... Last 4 of the VIN 6866.... would love to see the car again.
@@javieracosta5528 It’s okay man. You could always find another clean one in the Market, now prices have definitely gone up tremendously specially for a comp orange Terminator, only 281 were built in 04. Hoping you own one sooner than later.
Not about production numbers per say it’s about the impact the Terminator had on the car world. Everyone wants a Terminator and every car guy respects them.
The engines are well built..overly strengthened and all..but still those new edge bodies dont hold up very well. You can feel everything on the road too, even with the IRS, with all that plastic rattling on inside A bone stock gen 1 2011 GT has about as much power N/A as these have supercharged.
Joseph Bentley These are two completely different cars, yes they are not as refined as the s197 chasis but that’s part of the experience, these are raw muscle cars, they don’t apologize for being the way that they are. The gen 1 coyote does make the same power N/A but once you start throwing bolt ons the Terminator makes more power, a pullied cobra makes from 450-480 rwhp, a bolt on gen 1 makes what 420?? And I know what you are thinking it’s because it’s supercharged, keep in mind the Cobra as 8:5 vs the coyote 11:1 compression, the cobra is a 4.6 vs a 5.0, the cobra has older style heads but has a bottom end that the gen 1 coyote can only dream about not to mention an IRS and a real Tremec transmission way better of holding power compared to the MT-82 transmission that is stil found in the new Mustang gt. I love the S197 cars don’t get me wrong but the Terminator is a different breed a rare one.
I own a 99 v6 new edge and a 04 Cobra and neither of them have rattles, except for my driver's side seat belt squeaking when I pull it. Furthermore, you are supposed to feel everything on the road while driving these cars, it's not a luxury car.
These cars are a piece of modern muscle history so I can only see the price go up over time. The terminator is the only mustang I've ever wanted. After putting on a 2.3 Whipple I can't see myself driving anything else. It won't be fasted car out there today but it's just a blast to drive it makes all the right noises and with traction control off it's wild ride. There is no fancy technology It's a drivers car.

Have thought about selling my Mach and having a total of the 3 Cobras in the stable. 2 Termis but my dream car is the 07 Red/white stripe GT500. Although I am nervous about the regretting getting one part as due to knowing SN’s all of my life and how phenomenal the 4.6 4v’s are in every variant from 96-04. And the fact the Terminator much more impressive in every category compared to the GT500’s. Love the channel, keep it up brother! Nobody posts as much Termi content as you! Alexsvt, Danny & Justin Johnson, and you pretty much, I try when I can!
Thanks brother! I enjoy watching your channel as well, I don’t post as much as I should but I try, I love your Mach 1, the car runs really strong for N/A. Shelbys are great 👍🏻 I also love the 07-09 GT500, I used to own a 2005 Mustang gt for 5 years and it was a great car, S197 are great too, I just loved the Terminator cobra since I was 14 I always knew I wanted one, and it took some time to get it but it was definitely worth it. You live in Florida as well right? Thanks for your comment bro, it means a lot to have another fellow New edge owner support the channel 🙏🏻
2004 with 76k had it 7 years just added an 04 Lightning to the garage 🤘 great content brotha!!
That’s awesome man! Thank you very much 🙏🏻
Another great video, thanks. There's definitely something different about these cars. You really nailed it.
Thank you 🙏🏻 I’m happy that you enjoyed it 👍🏻
These cars are true legend!!!
What people don’t get is it’s the STOCK ones that’ll increase in value & be in demand not the highly modified ones which everyone is doing.
I bought my 03 Cobra new. Still got it. It sports a 3.3 Lysholm SC with supporting mods. I think I’ll keep it.
Totally agree with everything you said, you nailed it perfectly. Great video, and I especially agree with the rawness of the car I love how it just throws you straight back in your seat. Definitely a feeling that hasn’t been duplicated that I’m aware of. Keep up the great work
871263 Thank you 🙏🏻
Hopefully I’m able to get a steal when its time to buy one 🤞🏼
#1 cobra 281 holds the NHRA record against big blocks 5sec 250mph. #2 Koenigsegg used the engine in it's supercars. #3 cobra 281 built alongside the Gt40 supercar 5.4. #4 end of the era for the fox chassis saved the best for last. #5 world beating Mustang against supercars, it's in the league of supercars.
Just want to comment and say again, this video was put together very well sir!
Thanks brother! Your kind words are greatly appreciated 🙏🏻
Placed my order as soon as the order banks opened, I had a 99 prior and was disappointed with it. Took delivery of my Black 03 Cobra Coupe in July of 2002. Still have it with less than 4k miles in the garage. I opted for the spoiler delete option, haven't seen many others. Mine is highly modified for drag racing, have thought about selling it over the years, but knew I would regret it. Guess I will keep it until I die.
@@robertratliff2834 they are awesome cars for sure. I could only imagine having one of these cars when new in 02/03. King of the streets for real.
I bought my 3 weeks ago. I always wanted one since I was a kid
Same as me bro it was always my dream car
The Termi is a legend. No other car gets that title since the 1960s Shelbys
I love the terminators cobra. I know this car is going to one of those classic’s . For a car that is limited to about 20,000 for 2yrs it’s great. I love the cobra because every other manufacturer went after the cobra. People really forget about another great Mustang that was only made for 2 yrs. in those 2 yrs only about 8,000 were made.The BOSS 302 from 12-13. I’m not just saying that because I have one but we can’t have this conversation without you including the 12-13 Boss 302. One of the best Mustang ever made. Thank for your dedication and shining the car to the world. Please review the 12-13 Boss 302.
Mr. BosSTANG Thanks man 🙏🏻 I’d love to drive one, I even consider buying a Boss 302 before getting my Terminator, trust me if I get my hands on one I’ll definitely review it, I just don’t know anyone who owns one, but I’ll definitely will try go drive one sooner than later
@@TheMGChannel that goes back to what I said that being that only about 8,000 produced they are hard to find. Just like you I almost bought a termi then I found my boss in CN. I hope you get to drive one. Good luck!
@@TheMGChannel this is my problem right now. A ‘12 boss 302 or 03 cobra. Both cost about the same the cobra might be a lil more.
Man, I wonder what my car will be worth in the future...I have a Mineral Gray Convertible, and there were originally only 154 of these made in 2003. I figure that number is lower now after accidents, etc. The guy I bought it from thought it was a DSG Cobra so I got the car pretty cheap...$22K. But the door sticker has the paint code "TK" which is mineral gray. I already noticed an upward trend in prices over the last couple years. Most Terminators on ebay are in the $27--$35K price range. I even saw one last week started out for $70K buy it now, but he has lowered it down to $45K now. It has less than 5K miles on it!
Yeah I've noticed prices rising and the amount of them has dropped significantly. I hear stories about people buying Terminators 10 years ago with 20-30K miles and paying 17-20K dollars! What a steal! Now you find some with 80K miles listed for $30-35K, really sucks. There was one I saw for sale this week, it was a Redfire coupe, fairly modified, 22K miles, and it was listed for $50,000! No one will pay that much for one unless it's under 1,000 miles and still in the wrapper. Some of these sellers are just dreaming.
@@JordanSVT The worst ones are the dealerships that are re-selling Terminators at ridiculously high prices. Most of those cars just sit and sit but they serve to drive up prices higher than they should be. I'm glad I was able to get mine back in May at a good price because even after just 6 months the values have gone up!
@@tomkjr1 Back in early 2020 I remember seeing this one Mystichrome Cobra coupe for sale by a dealership, it had 29,600 miles on it and they had it listed for $29,999, it was in perfect condition and almost 100% stock. That's still overpriced but compared to some of the listings I'm seeing now, that Mystichrome was a steal.
@@JordanSVT I agree, because in today's dealer market, that same car would surely be listed for $35-40K. I would love to have a Mystichrome Cobra but I won't pay that kind of money for it. Besides, I made a terrible mistake with my Terminator purchases...I bought modified cars! And now I am irreversibly hooked on them. The raw power of a whipple Cobra pumping out 600+ whp is addictive and I can proudly say that I am HOOKED! lol
Bought 1 two years ago. 2003 conv. 8k miles 10k on it now. I feel like I got a steal.
Don't believe you
8k miles termi for 10k no way!
Hope it happens soon. Ready to sell mine this year.
Great Video 🙏💙
I’m gonna get one this year or next. Hopefully prices are stable until I do.
Great video!! I should get my MystiChrome out this year. Sometimes you forget what you have.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ever since I saw these cars and test drove one brand new I kicked myself for not buying one. I told my wife one day I will own one, then in 2015 I had 2 fox bodies a turbo 347 and a supercharged 331 I had both sold and about 2 hours away on craigslist popped up a 2003 sonic blue with 55k miles that had suspension work all the weak spot upgrades done and all the bolt ons including a chrome 2.6 kenne bell with all supporting mods and all the chrome under the hood you could ever want. The guy said he had a 2 inch binder full of receipts for all mods including dyno sheets pics of mods being done svt paperwork and owners manuals and instructions for every mod that came with them all the mods were done in 2010 and at the time it had just over 50k miles on it so it only had 5k miles put on it with the mods and spent its whole life down in Florida and Georgia area. At the time I really had never thought about buying another color other than comp orange and had never looked at or thought about sonic blue. I went to look at it and saw it and at the price I couldnt say no especially with all the documentation. My wife had no clue I had it off the trailer and covered in the garage when she got home, I told her to close her eyes took her out uncovered it and when she saw it she thought I bought it for the dealership I worked for since I bought them all their used cars and I said nope its mine. She was happy and I talked about selling it a few months ago since I have had it since 2015 and it had 55k miles on it then and it now has just over 57k miles she has never driven it and cant drive it but the exact words out of her mouth were if you sell the car I will divorce you because I dont want to hear you say about another car you wish you never would have sold it like other cars I have owned. I cant believe to this day how many people when I get it out say they have never seen a real terminator in person that and how many people will stop and stare when you drive by them. I love my cobra and the newest svt added to my driveway my 2012 crew car raptor.
Wow great story man, thanks for sharing. I wish I would’ve at least test drove one of these cars when they were new, and your wife is right, you shouldn’t sell it, you will only regret it down the road. Terminators are only getting more and more rare, With prices climbing less people are actually driving, so spotting one down the road is very rare.
I think your word of choice here was “raw” 😁. But none the less, love the cobra man! Keep it up!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Same goes for the Lightning’s, I already own a cobra but I want a 2nd gen lightning before they sky rocket in value too but I want to buy a 1960 impala first then I’ll get a lightning
I would love to own a Lightning, those are such cool trucks
The thumbnail pic looks awesome. Those CCWs?
Yupp CCW
Great video 🐍🐍
Thanks Josh 🙏🏻
Bought one 2 months ago, best decision I could make. Mystichrome, 39k original miles, one owner, clean title. The car has never been beat up, garage kept, and in addition all the original documents have been preserved. A real gem. If you want to see it you can follow my instagram, dom_04svt. Keep up the good work and enjoy your terminator like I do!
Thanks Dominic I’ll surely give you a follow 👍🏻
Been thinking on selling my 2004 oxford white terminantor. But i know im going to regret it. Bought it from the original owner. To this day the terminantor still turn heads. Looking at your cobra makes me realize how mean and how much i love this car.
I’m happy that I can help you to realize that indeed you do have an amazing car, you will most likely regret selling your Terminator if indeed you sell it, plus this cars will only gain value in near future
@@TheMGChannel i agree with you 100 percent bro. 🥂
If you don’t want it let someone else drive & get something you want.
@@kenny9088 hey man u said u think might be selling ur termi?
@@cant_keep_up4123 yes
great vid !!!
Crexfl Computer Repair Thanks brother 👍🏻
Great video ,the car what can you say about it. It’s all that and more. I have a 2003 gt , but I wish I had one, it is my dream car.
Thanks you! I used to own a 2000 Mustang GT, I loved that car, I got it all stock and put a supercharger on it and made it really quick, I have a video showing all the progress on that car and more recently I used to own a 2004 Mustang GT, I love the new edge Mustang GT’s they are great cars. 🙏🏻
My problem is getting a stock or modded one. Either way they will have value but stock obviously will be with more. What do you think? Also it was cammed and I don’t think I want cams. I’ve seen prices rise just in the last 5 years. They continue to go up. I have to get one ASAP.
CashKC Well it truly depends, but I personally would stay away from one that has been highly modified. Bone stock with low miles will obviously bring the most amount of money, but lightly modded with some miles will just do fine in the future, and gives you room to enjoy the car without worrying so much about depreciation.
They are a special car my neighbor here in NY has 2 that he is selling at a good price I think a silver one and a dark blue! Imo though the best looking mustangs are the 13-14 years so aggressive and muscular.
If one is blue then it would be Sonic Blue, that's the only blue Terminators came in. I guess it could've been repainted or wrapped too but idk.
@@JordanSVT no it’s original just not familiar with the paint name but it’s deff that searching it up
@@kapss0832 I really like Sonic Blue, one of my favorite colors on these cars. It looks amazing with chrome wheels too, especially those CCW bead lock wheels. But Sonic Blue Cobras are pretty hard to find now, not many of them floating around the internet for sale.
Is it greedy to want to buy another one ?
You killed it!
Thank you 🙏🏻
I have an 01 cobra and I want a termi!!
Are you planning to sell it ?
@@michaelhines4600 I don’t know for certain yet, but I’m the near future, no.
They didn’t have ARP head studs, they had ARP rod bolts from the factory.
Great video! I will always loves these Cobras 🔥
Dylan Thusing Thank you!
I know a guy who wrecked a maroon terminator running from the cops. Not a straight angle left on the poor car. He had 750 or so horse
Great video, and we talked about this before, but if common sense is a factor at all this car should surpass the Supra eventually.. I mean let’s get real which one is more of a breakthrough which one is better which one has more hp stock which one sounds better which one has a performance rotating assembly...These r mostly facts if u want to throw opinions into it we can also say this car is meaner and better looking and it also has the dna of a legendary car that has a proven rise in market value...
I really hope so man, I think that terminators are underrated even today. I can’t explain what it is, but when you drive this car you feel something special, and it might be in my head because I truly love these cars, but they are so fun and yes great looking and sounding cars as well
@@TheMGChannel the supercharger whispering in ur ear, Hit the gas hit the gas....
Excellent video!! I have one for sale in Miami
How much 👀
@@AssassinRain $23k obo with 54k miles, full bolt on Oxford White
Not bad
@Called To Christ I still have it. I never officially put it up for sale. Hit me up
Still have it pete? Im interested
I’m scared I won’t get my hands on one because they’ll be too expensive, in 18 rn I hope to get one in the next 5 years
Build a New Edge clone, once you hit $30k for a Terminator you can build a monster NE for that.
I really hate when people call it "The Hellcat of the Era"... The Hellcat is the "Terminator" of its era!! The Terminator came first mind you
You feel like you really connected to the termi. Do your self a favor and review the last of the true muscle car , The Boss 302 lol. I’m looking forward for the review.
Hell, just look at what a GTS-T R32 goes for... Mid 20's and that's a 200hp clap box.
Stock Terminators will be worth a lot more than built, tuned and heavily modded ones, great car to get some power out of it but almost everyone’s builds theirs
Guranteed, but people will doubt it. But look at the 93 Cobra and Cobra R....the evidence is already there, will it take longer? Yes, they made more, but still it's going to happen sooner or later.
@Stupid ass Diaper face Definitely, already is, but it'll keep going up.
El cubanito del la Florida con el Mustang Cobra
They are crazy RN I just found out about them :( anyone know of any other somewhat low-key car that's comparable but not in the price department?
Early Saleen mustangs
I will NEVER EVER EVER forgive myself for selling my Comp Orange 04' cobra... it only had 31,000 miles on it when I let her go.... Dumb just Dumb.... I heard the car is in IOWA now and has been since I let her go..... Last 4 of the VIN 6866.... would love to see the car again.
@@javieracosta5528 It’s okay man. You could always find another clean one in the Market, now prices have definitely gone up tremendously specially for a comp orange Terminator, only 281 were built in 04. Hoping you own one sooner than later.
@@TheMGChannel I’m looking. And I will jump on one the moment I see one. That car became part of my identity and I really miss it.
And it did
I love M G 💖💖
Well this video aged well
Thanks 😁
Tryna get a termi before this boom happens
Well I hope you bought it already 😂
There are only 2003 anniversary edition Cobra's out there
And I got one of em ;) torch red kenne bell pushing 608 to the wheel
2003 and 2004 mach 1 less made than 03/04 cobra
Not about production numbers per say it’s about the impact the Terminator had on the car world. Everyone wants a Terminator and every car guy respects them.
Dude the 1993 cobra is 225 hp and its at 50k
All the newedge mustangs are going up in price.the 03 04 Cobra will be unaffordable to most people soon.
And this still are
Nothing ridiculous about a big V8
The engines are well built..overly strengthened and all..but still those new edge bodies dont hold up very well. You can feel everything on the road too, even with the IRS, with all that plastic rattling on inside A bone stock gen 1 2011 GT has about as much power N/A as these have supercharged.
Joseph Bentley These are two completely different cars, yes they are not as refined as the s197 chasis but that’s part of the experience, these are raw muscle cars, they don’t apologize for being the way that they are. The gen 1 coyote does make the same power N/A but once you start throwing bolt ons the Terminator makes more power, a pullied cobra makes from 450-480 rwhp, a bolt on gen 1 makes what 420?? And I know what you are thinking it’s because it’s supercharged, keep in mind the Cobra as 8:5 vs the coyote 11:1 compression, the cobra is a 4.6 vs a 5.0, the cobra has older style heads but has a bottom end that the gen 1 coyote can only dream about not to mention an IRS and a real Tremec transmission way better of holding power compared to the MT-82 transmission that is stil found in the new Mustang gt. I love the S197 cars don’t get me wrong but the Terminator is a different breed a rare one.
I own a 99 v6 new edge and a 04 Cobra and neither of them have rattles, except for my driver's side seat belt squeaking when I pull it. Furthermore, you are supposed to feel everything on the road while driving these cars, it's not a luxury car.
Not rare u want rare look up 93 Cobra R , 2000 Cobra R i can keep going
The cobra makes up 0.02% of 99-04 mustangs, not 2%. Roughly 19,000 out of 950,000.
bawags 300 Bro 2% of 950,000 is 19,000 😂 not 0.02
@@TheMGChannel holy Jesus... wtf math was I doing... just keeping you on your toes 😂🤦🏻♂️
@@TheMGChannel still sounds high in general... I wouldn’t have thought 1 in 50 new edge mustangs were cobras. I thought it would’ve been lower 🤷🏻♂️
You can't compare the cover to the GT500 that makes no sense
Stop talking about it so that I can get one before they go up even more lmfao
They’re already pricy lol seen one the other day going for 18k
depending on mileage and condition that's not so pricy in my opinion 👍 Over here in sweden they go for about 27-28k usd and up and rising
Carl Norvall holly cow!! 27k
Dads yellow has under 3k miles
Wow that’s a brand new car!
I see what you’re trying to do my guy. This ain’t gonna work lol
I hear an accent
