This Cobra rep looks like a heck of a deal for someone.

And all for $89,700 - or best offer. I’m amazed this car isn’t sold.

Agreed - great deal on that car.

I guess the car's about 20 years old, so you would think it's probably sorted out by now. The small blurb on the engine build says it has standard pistons and standard rocker arms, so I guess there's no stroker in there. And maybe the original pistons? And the weak point on these FEs has always been the original valve train with no end stands. 20 years ago you could pick up a nice set of Erson Roller Rockers for less than a grand. For that nice of a build you would think they would have done some of that. But perhaps they did and it's just not included in the blurb.

Potential HiTech Buyer is who?:

We had a local in my area who built and years later tried to resale his HiTech 289 FIA Cobra for over a year. He had it in a few shows, people appreciated it, it was a beautiful car. The original owner was an absolute perfectionist, and then some.

When it came to finding the right buyer, it was a real struggle for him to sell it. Someone got a deal on that car. With a defunct manufacturer, no parts supply to back it up in general - seems new buyers who've never built a custom car before bowed out. They all liked it though. It took the right eye and experienced buyer to pick up on the overall design and built quality. Takes the right buyer for it, someone who appreciates it and willing to keep it for a while, and enjoy it.
