We finally found one.. The GOAT of Ford Mustangs, this legendary SVT Terminator Cobra is about to come up for bid at the salvage auction! It's rough, but in all the right ways.
With my Boss 302 project nearing completion, it might be time to tackle a Terminator rebuild. What do you guys think, do we go for it? Or maybe we should try something completely new like an e46 M3 or C7 Z06?
Have a wild Ford build story of your own? Maybe you've bought a totaled Mustang GT or Cobra to turn into your dream car? Be sure to tell the story in the comments!

Can you see can you find some 1971 to 76 caprice and impala 4 doors
How do you contact them ? (Raycon) no number
Maybe u can answer if they have noise cancelling for loud things Lol maybe tools ?
If an newer model mustang says Mach 1 and it doesn’t have the recaros it’s most likely a replica or an build to order, because all of the ones that were made to dealer specs were optioned with recaros
Worst sounding headphones I ever heard
Did you buy it yet?
I’d love to see a complete cobra build, it’s one of my dream builds too
@@nickromano25 big money. Hardest part is finding parts. My rear knuckle was broke in my IRS. It’s cheaper to soild Axle it than just buy a damn knuckle. They go for 2 grand seriously
@@Tattoodtoolowat that point buy someone’s parts car damn
Honestly - chassis wise a 2000-04 Cobra is a great platform to build off of...... Engine wise, look I'm a purist, I'm never going to knock a 4.6 Termi, but because the parts are still (now 20 yrs later) damn near original OEM pricing, its just about as expensive as a modern engine swap, so if I was going to "restomod" a Terminator, eh I would at least go wrecked GT500 5.2 Predator with the DCT, at least then you are still living up to the Shelby nostalgia
@@nickromano25 I have a lot of pictures while I was redoing this one. I have 3 more I’m working on
"that rod got me way too excited", me too, me too. 🙁
MY FREAKING DREAM CAR.
Same
They cost nothing, what’s stopping you from buying one?
@ncdozer3103 they go for $25k and up. Very tangible but that's not nothing for most people. Hopefully I'll have one next year 🙏🏻
Same.
@@hank1556 in great condition, sure, I bought a 2004 with 100k miles and a “blown” motor for 12k. Motor had a cracked valve, so instead of rebuilding it I just tore it down and sold it for parts, put a new engine in it and all in I’m in for 18k making 540 to the wheels. Most cars are cheap if you can find a good candidate for a rebuild
The terminator has been my dream car since they came out. I was in high school.. I’m 38 now and finally purchased one last month! I really hope you are able to get that one for yourself and would make a fantastic series!! Love the channel and watch every vid you guys put out!! Dream job right here you got going on!! 🤙🏼🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
I have a GT350 now, but I still think about the terminator I had. If it wasn’t for money problems I’d still have it.
i love scrapyard / auction yard videos keep it up man
"That Rod got me Way too exited" is CRAAAZY Talk when you opened the Hellcat Door 😂
Finally a terminator on the scrap life channels!
At 8:15 when you opened the hellcat door, you 100% door dinged the shit out of the car next to it😂😂😂
bro the terminator is the REAL terminator, this car is literally a W.
This makes me miss my old terminator that I had gotten years ago for a steal i had got it back in 2014 for only 2800$ one owner in pristine condition with only 50k miles on it and clean title ( person I had bought it from had a major crack addiction and had owned money to their drug dealer and sold me the car) which I then whippled and meth injected and sold a year later for $45,000 and an 2008 Ducati monster at my friends dealership
@@mohoguy_01_official I built that cobra just over 2 years ago and traded it for a Harley.
I was all done
Huge terminator Mustang fan, please rebuild it
@@bobx5400 I just rebuilt that car just over 2 years ago sad to see it totaled. I traded it for a Harley
@@LanceMiller-v6nno way you traded a terminator for a Harley. Those cars are worth big money nowadays
Im gonna bid on it and jack the price up 😂
I own a terminator and it really is such an awesome car, you will literally never get bored of a cobra if you buy one lol. Also with a proper exhaust setup it has the meanest exhaust note from a v8 I’ve ever heard
Fords 4.6 is one of the best sounding engines with good exhaust.
I'd take that E46 M3 in a heartbeat
Same how much u think it would cost to fix everything ?
It would have to be dirt cheap for a rebuild otherwise it’s a good donor car for a bad one that isn’t totaled
A good guesstimate would be 20 grand and that might even be low
@@joeworley1065 nah thats way too much. If there is no frame damage, 2-3grand in parts easily OEM. That m3 was very clean you could tell just by the seats super low miles just fromthe pictures
We need more people like this to help save these iconic cars! Really hate seeing them parted out when they can be saved. I’m fortunate to have two Terminators and luckily I beat all the car flippers to the second one as it would’ve easily been parted out, in the wrong hands, given the cheap price the previous owner sold it to me for.
Terminators FTW!!
We'll be googling that on the way home. 😂😂🤣 I had to google it too. This what i found
The Devils Triangle, just north of Oak Ridge (TN) in the mountains of the Cumberland Plateau, is made up of some of the most unusual two lane twisty roads in Tennessee. This 44 mile loop includes TN 62, TN 116 and TN 330 but also the Bermuda triangle is also called the devil's triangle as well but i doubt it's that. More then likely it's the 2 lane twisty roads that loop around in TN.
I'm very happy seeing you have sponsors.
Wish u all the best
Dude I would LOVE to see that thing back on the road. I personally have a ‘03 terminator. Best car I’ve ever owned!
You've got the best content for a car show on TH-cam!
Save them all Lee... 🔥👹🔥
i never knew i needed an e46 m3 track demon build in my life until this video! that sweet NA 8.8k redline
Lee back in the day I had an 03 Silver GT! Since I am a perfectionist I didn't feel the original paint job was good enough! So when someone backed into the door it gave me an excuse. I went to the local yard and bought a complete door. The worst part of getting this style of Mustang ready to paint is to do it really right you have to remove the roof cladding and paint it separate. Also since the repaint is crap over the original paint a lot of extra stripping is needed. To do it right would be some work. To make a long story short I went the extra mile to really prep this Mustang right and it turned out really well but doing it right was a lot of work!
Buy that terminator please!!! Want to see that cobra build series. I’ll be watching every episode of that!
400k subs, damn this channel took off fast. I've been here since like 2k subs. One of my fav channels!!! Love the builds and salvage yard finds.
That Rod got me way too excited “ is CRAZY 😮😂 Nodiddy!
i love that your doing these mustangs they are so amazing to see rebuilt
This has literally become my new favorite car channel on TH-cam
Let’s goooo Cobra build
Hellcat Swap a Dodge Magnum! you wont regret it!
Dodge Magnum are so cool
One guy has done a trackhawk drive train all working in a magnum with hellcat engine. Its honestly impressive what you can do.
@@gagandeephari6635yeah but JunkyardDave has been working on that thing for like 2 years.
That would be lit‼️
Junkyard Dave on TH-cam has done this.
It's time for a BMW build on the channel ❤
How about a crazy build like Hellcat swapping an E39?
Tbh e39s are getting rare so honestly, it wouldn’t be worth it. He should do something like an F10 or possibly a 3 series or 4 series
ewwww... hellcat
s85 swap or go home
Hellcat swap the world
The terminator was the hell cat of its day for sure.
Yeah, a boosted dyno queen.
Bro a terminator cobra rebuild would be the Best one of the best Mustang generation
I love the supercharger scream on these!
This channel deserves more subscribers
Your my favorite TH-cam, thanks for posting
Predator on top 💪🏽
That Terminator is a Perfect project! Hope to see it on the channel!
I love this channel!! You actually rebuild these auction cars, unlike another channel that strangely has "Rebuilds" in the name...
The final bid was 14k on that Cobra. Insane for that kind of damage.
And milage
Cobra whine sounds like dreams coming true
Wow, that was a lot of info. I'm bookmarking this vid so I can come back to it multiple times! Really great job!
Yellow looks Awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !
That mach 1 crashed at Virginia Motorsports Park. The video is on TH-cam. He cooked it on a corner and spun before flipping.
Link?
@@Bowdeen1984 no clue. Just saw it on shorts a few months ago and comments said it was at VMS. Can't be too many that have crashed.
@americansmark thanks brother
Is it that one that’s like “look how fast i can catch up to that car” then he gassed it on a corner?
If anyone finds the video, please link it, i don't know why, but I'd love to see some of this car's story.
Hi From the UK, thanks for the Great Content 👍
Yess.... Cobra series that I always love to see.
Cobra is one of my favorite car, maybe the most.
8:29 I'm sure it did we all knew this about you already
I went straight to the comments to see if anyone else caught that 😂😂😂
Yeah he set himself up for that one without a doubt
90s ERA MUSTANG COBRAS UNBEFUCKINGLIEVEABLY GORGEOUS!!!
I hauled the silver jailbreak to that Copart 😂😂
It’s a great day when a Lee upload hits the notifications 💪
its crazy how watching ur videos inspired me to rebuild my totaled daily
E46 M3 ❤
I love the auction yard videos
We need a part 2 of this so much please
@18:00 that is one hell of a beauty man! Only way I will ever drive one would be a rental. Such a shame to see this car sitting in a auction lot along with that blue Z06. I like watching these auction walk around videos but I hate seeing some of these cars wrecked. I know some of these cars will see the road again so that makes it a little better.
I love my terminator, glad I picked mine up cheap in 2020
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS CAR
Terminator let’s go
Cobra’s are sick. Great content
So it was yall I was bidding against?! No wonder.....
you serious?
@cbv2673 Dead serious. Ive had the Cobra on my watch list for over a month now. I stopped at $12,500.
How much did it sell for?@@shauncollins2017
@@shauncollins2017 Serious question, why on earth would you pay more than $5000 for this car? It's a new edge Mustang at the end of the day. They ran high 12s in 2004....nothing impressive lol.
@SpeedDemon88X Because like they referenced in the video, I was buying it to keep it. When you're buying something to flip it, yea I would of only wanted to spend $5000-$7000 because it needs $3-$4000 worth of repair on a car that's worth maybe $16-$18,000.
I've mentioned this before, but I don't know how feasible this would be legally, financially, or logistically considering you have a business to run, but I'm thinking the craziest salvage auction visit anyone could ever do would be to fly to Portugal, charter a boat, and explore the wreck of the Felicity Ace. I'm thinking you could use an unmanned remote submersible with a camera to get down there.
If their luxury cars at the bottom of salty sea water I think they'll be a lost cause.
The good thing about the airbag system (srs) in the new edge mustang is that all you need is both airbags and srs module which is located underneath the dash
Buy it! It’s an awesome platform. I have an 03 10th anniversary terminator and I love it. Would love to see a rebuild on your channel 👍🏼
Get that TERMINATOR!
Dear Lee,
I love your videos. They make me happy. You are a good spirited fun guy. If I had to give you a grade on your videos it would be A+ 100 percent.
Slowly we're watching Lee transition from Mopar to Mustang.. and I'm 110% here for it
I owned a 2003 v6 as my drift car. I was born 03 and the 03 termy 2v has always been my favorite car that ford ever produced 😮💨
2V?
11:25 that interior is crazy
That C5 was 100% a drift missile and probably got totaled by a bad drift
My guy said that rod got me way to excited 😂
I would love to see ou rebuild the Cobra! I have never seen one rebuilt before and I feel like you would build this right.
13:26 I'm not a bike guy at all, but damn this color is beautiful!!!
Loving see the M3🫡💯
That last part you said is why a lot of people live life 💯 it’s not all about the money.
30:28 to get ro the Cobra
Congrats on 400k
Terminators FTW!!! TO be honest the front bumper cover is the cheaper part... since they are available aftermarket. The rear bumpers command much more money sometimes $1K because nobody makes them. Even the hoods you can find or you can go aftermarket. I'm a fan of the yellow too.. more of the Screaming Yellow in 04 vs the Zinc Yellow that 03 has.. but if you have the time, money and motivation that would be a great project to build it you way
Love the content very honest no bs❤
Hellcat engine in that M3 would be 🔥 😎
Hope you get it Lee!
That M3 is clean! Hmm... may have to check it out.
Bellissima ford mustang viper 😮😮😮❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I hope he buys the Cobra, Would absolutely love to see a rebuild on that car :3
Heck yeah that would be cool to build up too
Suggestion for a build: E36 m3 with an e39 m5 v8 and rear axle installed… they were dope back in the day in amateur endurance racing but I’ve never seen one on the road (I’m in Europe btw). Really enjoy what you all do, thx.
I just realized this is the only TH-cam channel I binge every video of
That viper at the start..
❤
'Shoestring budget, Cut corners wherever' 😂😂
Seems great.. until your doing 155mph...
Rear passenger brake locks up..???
😢😢
Hopefully you get it, would be a sick project!
New Edge's are timeless in looks. They look great in any generation.
I had one of these back in 2003 svt cobra❤❤ 21 years ago. I want it back 😂
yes yesyes post more often
holy smokes, that mess at 19:02 was the Lamborghini's headlight? dayummm and it prolly costs more than my daily to replace!
I think buying the Cobra in that condition is a good idea, that way you can rebuild it the way you want it!
As an owner of a 03 cobra with 16k miles on it and a coyote swap new edge I like the way this is looking 👀😮💨😮💨👌
For everyone that loves Terminator 4 Valve cobra goodness....there are 2 guys that have a youtube channel that have taken a V10 Triton truck engine and custom fabricated a set of 03-04 cobra 4 Valve heads to fit the V10 and currently they have started it, and are now working on the rest of the build....does anyone here remember the snake bite cobra youtube video from years ago? 😂
Dam I miss mines!!!! Nothing like the sound of that supercharger!!!😢
I’d buy the z06 just for that engine
Both corvette’s honesty
That yellow Viper is a dream.
Duuuuude. Yesss. YESSSSSSS!!!!
That corvette would be excellent for someone with a base model to do some nice upgrades
What would be cool is seeing the cars you win in the auction and arriving at your shop
