I thought Herb Adams only built 2 Cobras. They were very stiff frames more similar to the JBL than anything else out there, with shear sheet welded to the frame members, making a very very stiff chassis. Herb wanted a good race car. I do not know where he got the bodies from. Obviosly originality was not on Herb's list of requirements. I think the handling performance was reported to be very good, but I never really saw one at RNG for example. For resale you'd have to find a buyer with the mindset of a JBL owner probably. I have a suspension book by Herb and it discusses his Cobra project somewhat in there.
