Default Cobra Wanted - ERA FIA

Hello Cobra owners,

I’m in the market for an ERA FIA. The reason for this post is because I realize some of these cars will sell by word of mouth as well as some owners may possibly be ready to move on but haven’t advertised yet because of the dreaded process. I too have been a Cobra owner and remember that process quite clearly.
Everyone here knows the market is currently flooded with many used Cobras of numerous manufactures, but the ERA FIA cars are far and few in between. I’m also aware of the most popular sites to find Cobras and I’m looking at them regularly. I have looked at ERA FIA asking prices over the last year and find myself willing spend around the median of those listings. I’m also willing to travel/transport if the right car comes along.

I’m looking for the following:
Overall Condition - Excellent to very good both mechanically and aesthetically
Paint - At or near show quality
Colors - I would rather not limit myself here. Most of these cars I’m certain will be tastefully done.
Body work - Straight with no signs of seams or stress cracks (minor chips and scratches are fine)
Interior - Excellent to very good with only minor indications of wear
Small Block Ford - Mild to wild with a manual 4-5 speed
IRS – Preferred
Wheels – Halibrand style
No Accidents or significant body or frame damage

I think I’ll leave it at that for now…

If you’re aware of such a car for sale, I would really appreciate hearing from you. Please respond directly to me by “Private Message” only.

Thank you,
Kurt
