A friend of mine wants to sell me his 99 Cobra that was diagnosed by Ford as possibly having a "rod knock, spun bearings, and maybe 2 blown cylinders."

I figured if I got it for cheap enough it may be worth fixing. How much are 32v motors going for?

Also, what do you think a reasonable price is for it in current condition?

-1999 white exterior (clean body)
-Tan interior
-about 97k miles
-18" chrome Saleens
-MGW short shifter
-JLT CAI

I'm honestly really looking to just bring it back to stock spec. It would be nice to get a Cobra R motor though.

Running that car is only worth $8-9 k at the most and I wouldn't pay that for a 99 ugliest year cobra next to the 94-95

No 5.4's for me. Like I mentioned, I want to bring it back to stock IF I buy it. Not looking to dump much into it.

both 99/03 cobras are clean to me. i would only add the 03 duck tail on the 99 and actually make the side scoops functional. i hate the plastic thing on the sn95s
