I would say you have to look at it completely different than a typical car purchase. When you are buying a normal vehicle it is assumed the latest year model and lowest mileage is an indication of wear. When it comes to Cobras my thought process is the higher the miles the better sorted the car may be. My car had a lot of additional work performed and it's better sorted now than when I bought it.....and I still have things to correct. They are definitely an on going project but are very rewarding
