NEW PROJECT: I Bought A 2000s Muscle Car ICON - 2004 Mustang SVT Cobra TERMINATOR!!

Long before the days of the hellcat, there was the 2003-2004 Mustang Cobra. With a factory supercharger 4.6L and 390+ HP, these cars took the muscle car market by storm in late 2002 and Terminated the competition! I have loved these cars since I knew what they were and have owned quite a few at this point, but this is the first one since starting my youtube channel!
This one is a super rare 2004 Screaming Yellow coupe with ONLY 21,000 miles on it. Follow along as I get this car back on the road!

    Was obvious that he did, indeed. Not many cars look great in yellow. That one does! The other example was a yellow, much more pale, and not exciting. I have a 73 Corvette that is the original bright yellow color, that I purchased 29 years ago.

    Can only imagine how bad this guy screwed him on the price , knowing the story of why the guy had to sell it. Mad respect to the original owner for putting his family first. Kinda wish it went to someone who would have had the same passion as respect as the original owner🫤

    Man, I feel for the gentlemen who owned this car that sold it. The true mustang loyalist, a person kept everything as clean and new as possible. A true family guy that needed to do what he could to try to keep his toy as long as possible without doing what most of us have done. One day I hope to get in another Mustang myself not new but a perfect example of a car like this and I hope he does as well. Another great video this one should definitely be a keeper and great content for the channel.
