Thanks to all who wished me good luck and to you Ron for the advice on the pictures. I do have a file with 40+ pictures I can send to anyone who's interested, just send me an email or call.

Now to the rest of you. Thanks for all your comments and advice, as this is my first time selling a Cobra. That being said, this isn't my first rodeo selling collectible cars and antique Harley Davidsons on the internet. I've sold dozens all over the world (73 to be exact). In my humble opinion the ad has all the basics and information a serious buyer needs. I believe you all know what the car is worth, and so do I. The ad reads best offer, what is it you don't understand about that. Man up, make me an offer, you can afford the car or you can't, simple as that. If your truly serious about the car you would have sent me an email or called. I would never sell a car without speaking with the buyer in the first place. And you wouldn't buy a car without speaking with the seller. I suspect your all just tire kickers with big egos who like to inflate them by trying to convince other people how smart or clever you are by posting nonsense and useless information.

ps. I like to stir the pot now and then too

Are the team stripes and the sponsor decals vinyl/peel off? or are they permanent?

Where is the car located?

How "new" is the new engine? How many miles since it was installed?

Well actually- Until your car sells, no one "knows" what it is worth. Until then, everyone has a personal opinion about what they think your car is worth.

And opinions? Well, we all know about those...

Personally, when I see "best offer" in an ad, I instinctively think "Silent auction" - Here's a guy that wants to pull a list of bids together, so he can play them off each other and try to hand pick his buyer.

However, (and I'm speaking from personal experience here)- By and large, the greatest majority of Cobra replica buyers out there are guys looking for their FIRST Cobra; and to the greatest majority of them, the technical intricacies of a Contemporary, versus an ERA, versus an SPF, versus a Unique are going to be complete non-factors in their decision whether or not to buy a particular car.

To some guys, the fact that your car is a Contemporary might be less important than the fact that it is a 30 year old used car...

BTW- One thing about your car I do like is that it has a small block, which is much better suited and balanced with the Jag running gear (IMHO

And, just for disclosure, I'm not a potential buyer myself, but I am helping and scouting for a friend/co-worker who has been looking recently, and he is definitely a "blue with white stripes" kinda guy, so I passed your ad along to him this morning...

Sad, and pretty much true. I wish more legitimate Cobra buyers were better informed these days on the differences.
