Just can't agree with some of the above posts. Contemporary Cobras were pretty stout and well built roadsters and were, like many of the earlier Cobras and replicas, fairly simple chassis and suspension.
If somebody was looking to get into a good car with a bit of sweat equity and some fab skills, this would be the perfect project. If the "wimpy frame" was damaged all that much, the body would have been toast, but to my eyes, the fiberglass damage is fairly minimal.

These estimates I'm pretty sure come from a full blown rebuild by a "reputable" shop with all the bells and whistles replaced and like new. If one was to replace what needed to be replaced, straighten out any frame members that were slightly out of line (doubtful if there are any) and replace basic pieces like shocks and aluminum pieces I would think you could get into a great car for chump change.
Not sure what it is up to now, but at $23K it was still a bargain, IMHO, given the above consideration. Salvage title? Heck, any Cobra that hits a deer and needs fiberglass replacement is probably going to end up with a salvage title.

Besides, it looks to me to have great wheels, a 427, and a few other niceties that would be worth almost what the bid price is at the moment. I could be wrong- I'm basing this on skimming over the pics last night and noting the high points.
