I agree that the traditionalist will quickly find a car of choice. I built mine to learn the skills required to do the build, not keep the car. I also enjoyed the comments on how cobra builds are going beyond traditional to more of a personal touch. For example, mine is creamsicle orange/white stripes on 18" wheels/rims. The engine bay is stuffed full of a big block FE. Yes, it turns heads but that does not translate into cash toting buyers. The entire stance of the car is different. When I figure out the image upload aspect, I will load a photo. Back on point. I feel I may now be paying for wanting a modern hotrod look blended into the '65 cobra look. Keeping her around longer is not so bad though.

Now I would like suggestions on other marketing sources. Cobra Country is great as a dedicated cobra site. Where else; Auto Trader, Hemmings???

I have no regrets in selecting Unique or a cobra as my midlife crisis project. The key to any dilemma is patience and respecting the views and needs of others. I know out there somewhere is a very smart individual that is looking for an orange cobra dressed like a hotrod.

Hey, Ric,

Think about advertising your Cobra in the Knoxville area. It's BIG ORANGE COUNTRY for sure.

Cheers,
Mark
