Oh, that bites! But a Cobra!? I thought you and the wife didn't want him in a powerful car?

The SC swap would have put the 3.8L at the same power level as a stock 5.0L. The 94 makes 240 hp, which is 65 less than what a new 3.7L V6 Mustang makes. At least the Cobra will hold its value better than a 15yo V6 Mustang. It just got to the point where it didn't make sense to put more money into that car.

Sorry to hear that.
 That was turning into a nice car. You live and learn I guess. I totaled my first mustang (89 5.0 GT) within the first week of getting it street legal. I too slid off a FM road while it was raining and they had just re-blacktopped it during the heat of summer, so it was like driving on a oil slick. It still makes me sick to this day, but I learned to respect fox bodies and how light they are in the rear. It was a bittersweet lesson learned.

In conclusion...
Well, we finally sold the 98 today. Although we had intended to part it out, we rec'd an offer on the car as a whole. The new owner plans to repair the car.

Congrats on selling it! Selling it as a whole might not have netted as much $$ but it sure is much easier!
Still no pics of the Cobra?? What gives?? LOL

Brad, for some reason I do not have many pictures of the 94 Cobra. Attached is one we took in May before Jack left for a Junior Prom at their sister-school (Padua, an all-girls Catholic school). The 98 in the background was positioned in such a way that the damage could not be seen.
