The scenario is not new, unfinished cobra pops up online at a price far below that of a finished car, seller states "needs very little to be road worthy", or "needs little to finish". Buyer sees low price and jumps on deal, not realizing, and not knowing that the car may not have all of the parts to finish, or is in over their head. They come here asking for advice on what to do, they are given it, some are never to be seen again (IE: 1 hit wonders), others like a challenge and will do whatever they need to to get the car finished, never realizing they are in some cases, doubling their investment to the point if they waited and saved their hard earned money, they could have bought a better quality car that was already titled and on the road.

Again, not a new scenario here, just a popular one as people are hyped up from the Cobra vs Ferrari movie and subsequent advertising of same.
