quest for cobra

[Cobra Okie]

Hi Oscar, welcome to the Cobra frenzy, it'll likely drive you nuts if you let it! I can only add what I've experienced myself, and am very happy with the decision made. Looked for a couple years at E-Bay, other used Cobra ad sites, ck'd all the manufactures web sites, compared, scanned ClubCobra, all the usual stuff. In the end I decided to buy a "turn-key" from B & B in Granby, Mo., and have been extremely happy with the experience. Why a turn-key? Simply age, didn't want to spend any time in the garage building something I should be out driving. Had thought of getting a used Cobra, then make any mod's necessary to have the car I really wanted. Talked with the folks at B & B, and they made such a great deal, I couldn't turn it down. Got a new, full turn-key Cobra w/ a fiberglass top, mild 302, T5, etc. and it's been one of the best decisions I've made in years! Surely didn't want a race machine, but more a driver that would be fun to drive all the time, and I did just that, put on over 10K miles the first year! The folks at B & B were nice enough to allow me to stop by frequently to take pic's, so in the end I ended up having a very nice build book full of construction pic's. The car has been fabulous, beyond any expectations, near zero problems too. In the first couple thousand miles had a bad ignition module and a bad voltage regulator and that's all, both covered by B & B immediately. The past two years have been flawless, zero problems, runs great, fun to drive, decent mileage (around 18 in town), couldn't be happier. You owe it to yourself to at least look at their stuff, in my experience a quality product from folks that know Cobras, will build it any "flavor" you like, and build a darn good product. I couldn't be more pleased with mine!

Good luck on your quest, keep all of us on the site posted of your decision.
