So the next question are, what is your budget like (1M-2M, under 1M, above 2M), and do you want a slabside, FIA, or 427SC style body? Finally, do you want a street driven car, or perhaps something with a race history that can slid in under current VSRA or FIA vintage rules?

Those are excellent questions to which I have discussed a bit with a friend. I am familiar with the 427 & SC body styles and some of the 289 styles. I am not familiar with the racing bodies such as FIA and others. That is why I was referred to a Cobra registry to learn the product and histories. I have over the years driven several Cobras and I prefer the 289. It doesn't have to be a concours level Cobra but a well taken care of and not wrecked Cobra would be ideal. And I guess there are levels of refurbishment to deal with also. I am in no rush and do not need a Cobra owned by someone well known like Steve McQueen. A tad over/under 1million would be ideal, but if more is needed for a certain provenance that comes with the Cobra than that will be taken into consideration.
Thank you for your reply,
