Absolutely beautiful car. My old boss had an 04 Terminator with straight pipes and it was the most angry sounding car I've ever heard.

[@sunburn8640]

The COBRA hangin with the 6 figure GTR. FORD and GM could make world class performance cars when they want to. That’s just not their MO. The make cars for the people. However, every now and then, once every decade or 2. They will put their engineering prowess on display and the world definitely pays attention. See FORD GT, GT350R, GT500 and of course the Terminator

[@SoulCrusher6]

That pioneer stereo with the little car animation just took me back to my first exposure to a mustang. My uncle had a 97 GT red fire and black leather with that sweet stereo deck haha how awesome. Fast forward to now I have my terminator. Keep up the good work guys.

[@samk7197]

well that was that was minus 1 hour of productivity at work today worth it

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

😀😭😂

[@randomgamer5783]

Wow that's so clean underneath, I doubt I will ever see anything other than rust. Ever. Because Canada😅

[@bobbybrown1708]

Your content as well as your brother is by far the best 99-04 there is. All models, V6 through Cobra thoroughly covered. You are my go to for instructional tutorials on anything I am doing with my Bullitt.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Thanks! I’m glad you enjoy it! 🙏🏼

[@ALJETSFAN]

Real nice ride. They don’t make them like that anymore.

[@madmike3476]

Dude I am so jealous watching this... These are my favorite cars and you guys have 2 super rare combinations. Plus the more I watched the video I dig your whole mindset on these cars and preserving them, really appreciate it.

[@jimcallicoat]

Great story great video as always. I have owned my 2004 screaming yellow convertible since 2007 purchased it from the original owner and I am still having fun today with it 2022 I just need a Whipple like yours.

[@jeffcossin67]

Absolutely love the story and the car would love to own it

[@Mustangladyme]

You are right. The underneath is really important!!!

[@anthonyl9566]

Amazing car! I always wanted a triple black 2004 cobra convertible!

[@OH3REDFIRESVT]

Great video! Your amber install was a life saver. I picked up set for $800 with harnesses and drove 4 hours to get them , I was afraid to have them shipped.lol

[@calmmusicforsleep]

Nice story, great cars! Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful day my friend

[@Svtmike03]

Great video , really enjoyed the history of your terminator. I love a nice clean screaming yellow and still waiting to see one in person!

[@kelran_]

I love screaming yellow you have a unique color you want you to have a mystichrome

[@NeutronPerformance]

I could not agree with you more on the X-pipe vs H-pipe comparison. I had a catless X pipe and SLP Loud mouth 1's on my 03 mach1.... the rasp was in absolutely insane at the 2500-3000 rpm range. Man bro, you are making me look at buying another mach1. Lol

[@Wretched2JZ]

Such a cool story.. lol you two 😅 Nice to hear you guys support each other vs being rivals or something. Since your bro had the same fav colors as you!

[@Jesussavesyouandme]

What a coincidence I’m looking at your channel because I just inherited a yellow mustang 2003

[@Jesussavesyouandme]

Terminator well my wife did I’m so geeked

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

@@Jesussavesyouandme congrats!

[@2vcrew782]

Enjoying these story videos 😊

[@svtdan643]

This is such a great video, and I love the style of the video. Narrating really is nice

[@TheMGChannel]

Such a great story Danny! Please keep these type of videos coming, you and your brother do the best story videos. I can’t believe the price you paid for this car, wow you stole that car. I’m very happy you have your dream car and definitely thank you for the inspiration, you inspired me to buy my cobra as well.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

It was a good deal in hind sight. Harder when they were selling for $16k for a pullied cobra, so it had to have a whipple on it for that price for me. It was a great car and not daily driving it had preserved it. 👍🏼

[@Lethal_Venom]

Great story Danny, I need to work on one of these for my Cobra as well. As far as the ambers it depends on the color for me. Screaming yellow it looks great but I wouldn't want it on my Torch red or Black. That exhaust came out really well. I may touch mine up over this winter. Glad the Cobra worked out so well for you and that is now in very good hands.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

I like the ambers on all colors. I can’t think of one that I don’t like them on. 👍🏼 I’m just a color guy I guess 😂

[@Lethal_Venom]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage haha, I may like them more on TR If it was not for the prices they are asking for them now but not paying 1K for tail lights

[@scuevas7]

Great story!

[@BigRockyD]

I’ve been following you on IG for probably close to ten years, neat to finally get a backstory on the car. Breaks my heart though because I started following you because of the cobra, and I still can’t afford one myself, at 31 years old now. Pathetic!

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

It’s hard when the prices go up and frustrating when people part them out when there are people like you who would love to have one

[@BigRockyD]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage Yeah dude less by the year and pricier too it makes me so sad. I’ve only ever been able to afford fox bodies like I have now. I’d thank Jesus if I could get my hands on an 03/04 with 150,000 miles and mismatched colors. I just want a cobra. Banks round here won’t finance them they say they’re $14000 cars lol and my rent is so absurdly high I barely have enough for utilities and my truck payment let alone save to buy cash. Lol my heart HURTS I want one!!!

[@mooosestang]

You got a really good deal if you just bought that a year ago. Looking at an 03 in zinc yellow with 18k miles and it's 38k. probably a little overpriced since it's a dealer.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

It’s 11 years this month. Great deal for today’s standards.

[@Eric_Jab]

@59:33 there is some residue on the loom from a sticker lol

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Lol, I do have that sticker in my tool box from when it came off

[@paulciprus9582]

Hey Danny…my wife and I took our 2003 Cobra to 5 big car shows this summer in Ohio ..and did not see another Terminator…where the hell did they all go…used to see them…but not any more…🙁

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Honestly, a lot have been parted out, many exported (Dubai has a lot), many wrecked, some are still around.

[@HAL-dm1eh]

Hearing you talk about having to come up with ways to pass inspection is so relatable. We don't have them anymore in my state but when we did I remember my dad having to come up with the funniest hacks to get by so he could keep his car on the road. And to you or anyone else reading this, regarding the new clutch you mentioned you did in another video and you said "you did the 500 mile break in", was this 500 miles of actual city driving or a mix of both? I just got a new clutch in my 02 V6 and out of the 200 miles I've put on it, only about 50 of that is stop and go in town. I read one clutch manufacturer say "generally 500 miles so everyone is covered" and then another say "500 miles of stop and go traffic, NOT including highway miles".

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Yes, 500 miles of stop and go city miles is what they are meaning I’m sure. Otherwise you wouldn’t have a lot of mating the disk with the pressure plate and flywheel. It had chatter for about 2 thousand miles easy

[@HAL-dm1eh]

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage OK guess I have a lot of driving around to do in my neighboring city on the weekends. Thanks for the response! 👍

[@danielborth7753]

I don't know what you can find out I have the 2004 mustang GT 4.6 convertible competition Orange I have a feeling this is a rare car with the color that it is but I can't find any info on it

[@JoseMedina-hs9st]

Here in Florida you could have blacked out windows and nobody Cares That's what I like from Florida that we don't have expansions We used to have them they took them Off

[@robertoortiz85]

Lucky you. They crash my bullitt on Monday who knows if the front clip can be straightened

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Check out my brother’s recent videos on his GT That he put a new clip on kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKbQfp2MZ9xlac0

[@blazing7s]

Looks like there’s a lot of red silicone on the exhaust pipe connectors ..Why is that?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

The mid pipe was used and bent when I got it, so I used ultra copper to seal it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJXQpGCBiNV8htE

[@jamesestrada82]

Can’t hate on another man’s passion for their car! This is my first time seeing your channel, so excuse this question if it’s redundant… Do you still have the Cobra Danny?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Yes, I have it. Just installed the 26 spline input shaft and McLeod RXT kzbin.info/www/bejne/poLcc2Ohm7OtsNUsi=EKZn8E-0RUoSsD_c

[@sonnyzehm105]

I love your car don't get me wrong but personally for me I don't like the amber tail lights I never really have... I have a 2004 mustang coupe with a 3.9 l V6 5-speed manual transmission... I would absolutely love to have the 5.0 dual cam dual valve with a 6-speed manual transmission yes we are talking Terminator cobra and again I would have to be a 2004 because I absolutely love that body style... The reason I don't like the amber tail lights is because to me it detracts from the original look... I do have the sequentials eventually sometime in the future I plan on going with the roxium smoked out outer LEDs for the tail lights inner brake lights and turn signals I do have the by xenon from SW lights and I absolutely love them I have the bullet style wheels for American muscle and I have the shorty antenna from American muscle my mustang is not perfect and there's still a lot of things that could be done there still a lot of things that I want to do... So it's a work in progress but I absolutely do love the car and I absolutely do love the 99 to 04 body style would I ever part with that I don't think so because it's the last of the Fox body... If I could upgrade I also like to look at the 2015 what is that the 50th anniversary edition? But again I'd like to have the 5.0 dual cam dual valve with a 6-speed manual transmission

[@Wretched2JZ]

Wow so you didn’t make a decision that night at the gas station?? I would have thrown the guy a deposit right away if it were me!

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

I would have now. Back then this was the most expensive car I had bought. I needed a loan and to give a guy money in vegas was not my idea of a safe decision lol

[@Wretched2JZ]

Wow I had no idea how black the underside was?! What causes that. And man you did a great job cleaning it! How long did it take you to clean it? Great job w it. What type of gauges did it have when you first got it? I know Justin gave you the SOS one right. ** edit, I just got to the part where you said it had no gauges “ I’m guilty of commenting early so o remember what to say lol 🙈

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

I comment early too. I get too excited lol. It took a few hours and I didn’t want to damage the paint with a strong chemical, so big and tar worked good but took longer.

[@Json.-]

I comment early on videos all the time 😂😂

[@Wretched2JZ]

@@Json.- I think it’s our human nature lol

[@mtbscn]

Another great video, makes me want one! I found a 97 cobra but it looks like it has roughly the same hp/torque as my 2014 3.7 V6. Would like to hear your thoughts...think the 97 Cobra would be more fun to drive?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

My mach 1 barely walked away from a full bolt on v6 with 4.10s at the drag strip. A 98 cobra would be slower, but I really prefer the V8 sound. I’d do a Mach 1 or a 5.0 2011+ if you can’t get a terminator- or a 96-98 cobra if it’s a good deal.

[@claytonstallings1514]

BUY THE COBRA! I bought a 14 V6 for the same reason, should be fun to drive like a 96-98 cobra. NOPE. The numbers might be the close on paper, but the actual fun of driving is not.

[@mtbscn]

@@claytonstallings1514 wish I had man, it sold before I was ready to pull the trigger.

Danny, I need to paint my 04 Cobra but the painter I took it to said he can't find the trim parts that will need to be replaced. Do you have any idea where I can find after market body pieces for these cars still?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

If they are going to be terminator specific you’ll need to find them from another car (for sale on eBay or Facebook)
