What colors are the Cobra's. I would take the 97/98 over the 95, but all 3 would be nice to have. The color & condition would be what would make me decide....

Yes I do, but I am partial to the 5.0 motor. But I have a 96-98 bumper on mine ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
But Id go 5.0 motor. Easier/cheaper to mod.

well, the 97/98 32V motor will be much faster in stock form, but I like white more than black, especially if the black is starting to fade. White still looks good even when its starting to fade, but the black from those years gets the clear coat peel pretty bad, especially on the bumpers if it wasn't treeated well...
That being said, I would go for the 95... They are more rare than the 96-98's anyway. How many miles are on each of them?

my cars will never see a track...lol. I am a more show than go type of cat. But mine has nice power. I have never had a 97-98 so I cannot compare. But I do like my cobra. And it being a 50 makes it nicer IMO. I do not run into many 94-95 cobras these days.

I would rather have a 5.0 with that type of mileage than a 32V. I had a black 96 GT & with only 70k on the clock, the front bumper had some pretty bad clear coat peel by the headlights. But if the car was garaged, & waxed regularly, it should be ok... My rio red 97 Cobra's paint was still clean though even with 100k miles, but I think it might have been repainted a one time...
