Regardless of whether you are interested in this or that, the only advice I can give you is to choose carefully, do not buy a Cobra replica on sheer looks alone, as you may get far less than you pay for. As for mileage, again, be careful, as there are reasons why someone sells a car with ultra low mileage, most of the time is because they are tired of working the bugs out, dumping the car on the next unsuspecting owner. Take a giant step back and do a lot of reading on this site before you buy anything from anyone. Educate yourself on each manufacturer you are looking at. Make sure you know when updates to the chassis's were done, when updates to the electrical systems were done (on a manufacturing level), and what issues owners have had to overcome. Once you have learned all you can, then make the jump to Cobra ownership.

Again, welcome to the madness.


Yours In Fords,

Bill S.
