I Bought the CHEAPEST Running Terminator Mustang SVT Cobra!

I bought a 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 10th Anniversary aka Terminator Cobra. It was the cheapest one in North America that was running, has a clean title, needs nearly nothing, and can be driven and enjoyed as is. The 10th Anniversary Edition is very rare, with only 381 ever being made in black coupe's. It has just over 100,000 miles or 160,000 km. I bought it for $16,700 USD or $23,000 CAD. This will be a new project on my channel where I will be reconditioning it to its former glory and modifying it to my taste. This has been a dream car of mine since it came out when I was in high school. The 03-04 Terminator Cobra's are legendary and known as the original Hellcat's.
Big shout out to Ben at Dixie Bloor Service for coming along for the ride and inspecting the car for me. Ben will be helping me do maintenance on it as well as some modifications.

How did I do on my cheap high mileage perfectly running 03 cobra?

[@Gearbhall]

Those sound so damn good.

[@svtpower03]

You did very well. Definitely stole it lol. Definitely put some frame connectors on there it will tighten the whole car up. I’ve had my cobra 20 years they are tons of fun!

[@mikechristensen1285]

Well done, cool that you’ve figured out how to make a living doing you hobby/obsession

[@CPMUNSEY]

Jakub do good. What’s the mileage? Can’t believe how cheap you got this thing for esp it being an Anniversary car.👌🏽🔥🔥

[@cruiser1333]

You did really well. Those are next to impossible to find in the states at that price and the mileage is not terrible. This will make a great project since the mileage will put it beyond collector status.

In my opinion this car should look stock but with improved handling and power because it looks great as it is.

It came STOCK w/4 wheel independent suspension. It handles beautifully. I own an 04 SVT Cobra terminator- 4900orig mis- orig owner car.

@@clubracer6 if it’s a weekend fun car, I’d go with the Terminator and GLI. Then you can mod and go nuts. The 5V BW is one of my favourite sedans ever and would be incredible year round daily

[@mattsgarage6385]

Looks like a great buy bro! I did a very careful build on my 01 cobra with the IRS to be my weekend/HPDE car. I'm sure you probably have your mod list sorted out but this is what I did with the suspension and I absolutely love it. - Coilover kit from MM with adjustable tie rod ends for front - Full Tilt Boogie Racing IRS kit to replace the IRS bushings and get rid of the wheel hop. Get it with the milled ford racing diff cover for easy diff fluid changes, durability, and to align the pinion angle. When you fix your leaky diff this is the move bro. - Weld in sub frame connectors (I did stifflers full web brace) - Other bushings (A arm, sway bar, steering rack, drivetrain) swapped out for prothane - 295 square extreme contact force for the track ofc Side note, you may be experiencing the infamous cobra clunk on deceleration, we all have it lol. Nothing to worry about. There is a lot of play from the factory in the rear diff/axles and from the IRS geometry. The IRS kit will tighten it up as much as possible though.

[@itsreallyjakub]

Awesome, thanks for the info! 295 fit square on these? Damn that’s cool

[@g04tn4d0]

Nice find! I'm all about my Dark Horse but I'd have fought you over this car. I used to have a Terminator back in the day when they were new. I ported the Eaton, did exhaust, cai, pulley, tb, 4.30's, and wheels/tires. Very fun ride!

Yeah never throw away still usable parts from older cars, they're either expensive to buy new or if they aren't made any more, junkyards is the only other source. Someone who may be restoring a car may need these older original parts. Usable parts I've taken off my 94 GT I still have just in case.

[@kevindavis5966]

$16,700 is not unusual for those miles. There are plenty of lower mileage/better condition specimens out there to drop the price on ones like this. Plus the market is trending down a little on these, regardless of miles. Welcome to the club, once you have one, you'll always have one. I'm on my second because I sold my first and never got over it. Oh, and 500 crank hp isn't going to be enough - Cobra owners are notorious for never being satisfied with their power numbers. When you have a power plant that has the potential to put out 1000+hp, you tend to want to test the limits.

[@itsreallyjakub]

I have a c6 z06 with 740hp N/A for when I want to go fast. This is for fun family cruising so 500-550hp is the target with new parts
