ReBody kit for mustang?
Hello, has anyone heard of a rebody kit of a Cobra to fit onto a mustang frame? Similar to the Cobrette, but a mustang instead of a vette.
Thanks, ArasB |
I'm not sure but you must be referring to donor Cobras that use the Mustang. Mustangs are uni-body ,unlike the Corvette, and I can't see any way that it would be a task that could be done by the average guy. I have seen the neat Mustang rebody of a a Miata though.

Didn't we just go over this the other day???

WDZ, I've seen the kits that use Mustangs as donors, but I'm looking for a body to drop onto an existing frame and drivetrain. The cost of a donor kit is more than I can muster up. $12,000 for donor based vs. $3,000 for a rebody.
The vettes are nice but it seems that there are a lot more 1965-1975 mustangs available in decent shape than there are corvettes. I was not aware of the mustangs being unibody, thanks. ArasB |
Bill, I wanted to start a new thread since I didn't word the last one correctly as a rebody question not a donor question. I looked at the corvette kit, and it might be an option for me, but I want to see what else might be out there.
Thanks, ArasB |
There are plenty of body kits for the late model Mustangs, but nothing that will make it look like a Cobra. The shape of the unibody chassis does not lend itself to anything along these lines..............Now, there is a company that does so for the Miata..................
Bill S. |
Yeah, but ...Miata? I just watched a video from Superformance and it's making me weigh more on a full donor kit like FFR or SPF. My only difficulty is the cost. Aren't there any less expensive kits?
Thanks Bill, Aras |
FFR is going to be the least expensive "donor kit" worth it's weight. SPF does not over a donor style kit, but instead sells you a full roller minus engine and transmission..................These can be sourced new, or used, but most go the new route..................As for the Miata kit, I failed to explain to you it makes the Miata look like a 64.5-66 Mustang convertible in 3/4 scale................Not a Cobra..............
Bill S. |
You want the bargain of a lifetime, I caught wind of the reserve just before the high bidder (most likely playing games) backed out.......Think the reserve is 16K.....

Wow, I'll be ready in about 6 months, but that's a steal! I'll have to check with 'management' to see if some funds can come available.
ArasB |
Can you tell me where I can find more on those miata kits? website, phone number, somebody who owns one?
thanks |
I'm almost certain there is a Cobra body kit for the 1999+ Mustangs.
(Yes, as ugly as you can imagine it) I'm sure a google search will turn it up. I believe the prototype car they had in the advertisements was grey. Oh god it was ugly. I certainly hope they're out of business. I think it was front-end only. -steve in nj- |
here is what your talkin a/b:
"For Sale: Mustang 5.0 body kit. Do you possess a Mustang 5.0 donor car for a Cobra, but cannot afford the (Cobra) kit. I have a 'Daytona Mustangs' body kit that I never installed that widens your Mustang 6" on each side, and gives your car the look of a Ferrari. If you're looking for something entirely new & exciting, just look at this body-conversion kit. There was a total of only 20 produced, and this one is the last unmounted body. You don't have to purchase glass, mirrors or interior. All you need is a 1987-'93 Mustang 5.0 for a donor vehicle, T-bird headlights, and the wheels of your choice. If you have a 5.0 Mustang and don't care to rip it apart to make a Cobra roadster, this kit is tailor-made for you! It's yours for $1,999 or best reasonable offer."
