I dont see it listed, but I imagine the engine is in prety good shape. If you can get your hands on that, it would be a huge plus. I believe they are, with some modifications, interchangeable (your basic V6 to V8 conversion).

Grab the front brakes (Disc, calipers, and lines).

Other than that, unless you need some body or interior parts... theren't not much there to upgrade your car with.

I would guess the motor is pretty ragged on based on what's posted. Nothing from the front of the car is listed... which would hint that he hit something. Chances are an 'at fault' accident in a Cobra meant he was raggin' on the car and messed up.

ACK!!! Buying brake parts off a junker?? I dont know about you guys, but when I'm going 95 down an interstate, I dont want some junker brakes to be the only thing saving me from ramming into the back of a semi. Anything else off junkers are usuialy fine, but brakes?

LilRoush is right though, it is prety strange that he didnt list much from the engine compartment.

I got my brakes used. As long as they're in good working order there's nothing wrong with it. Better than swapping in a whole motor. And if someone is doing 95 on a highway, I hope the brakes fail on them. Take those idiots out of the gene pool.
