in the 2-3 months ive had mine ive spent roughly 1450$. wouldnt be so bad except i got ripped off and all that money has been just making it run correctly and fixing electrical problems. ive got a very sour taste in my mouth about the deal i got, but its become my little project so life goes on. the few mods on my car were there when i bought it.

Forged331 · 08-09-2008, 01:54 AM

On this car about $15,000....but this is my 6th mustang, and not the fastest...maybe third fastest...you do the math! And I'm just a weekend warrior.

This hot rod's expense just went up considerably with this new engine build. Probably a tad over $7K for new engine with Dart block.

turbo4point6 · 08-11-2008, 01:02 PM

i think im close to or past 20K ive been though nitrous, supercharger, now turbo plus my motor build with suspension, and all those misc parts i went through. i dont like to think about it.

95 BLK Cobra · 08-12-2008, 09:42 PM

I am afraid to add it up....

Because at the end of the day - I love the finished product and it is by far the fastest and coolest car i have ever owned.

too bad I had to be over 40 to have it!!

Seriously I would think 3-4K in mods + the initial car cost...I have 11K in my garage at least...

On a 95 cobra --probably not a wise investment. But then I spray it and yep, not a doubt in world ...worth every penny!

Graves · 08-12-2008, 09:57 PM

A decent chunk....and it's for sale!
