Default Documenting my Cobra search

Since the chase is half the fun of owning a car, I figured I would document my journey to find a car. For those that saw my introduction, I am looking for my next toy and a Cobra Replica is high in the list but I could end up with something else if I find the right deal.

As far as the replica, I am looking for something with IRS with the following making my final list:

BDR, Unique, ERA and Superformance

Other cars I am considering are:

Jaguar E-type convertible & other European classics.

I am not looking for something to race; I just want a car that drives well, has some performance and makes me smile when I open the garage.

Since I am in Texas and we have emissions testing, the car will have to be title as a 196X replica so emissions testing won't be required. (If a Texas guy in Harris county or one of the counties that require emissions testing has other info, please let me know)

Budget:

Used Replica (for now) $40K max, will look at new if over that.
Other cars, depends on the car but to $60K
Must be under market (what fun is it paying full price!)

Let the fun begin!
