I purchased my Cobra this past May. It's a lesser known brand (Legendary). I paid under $25K. It only had about 4K miles but was 20 yrs old. Took the original owner 15 yrs to build. Here's the kicker - it had sat outside in Phoenix under a cloth cover for THREE YEARS! The old guy who owned it had been put in a home by his family and they were selling off everything. I knew all of this going into it and am a decent mechanic.

I have spent upwards of $4K in replacing everything that was dry rotten and repairing wiring nightmares. Just needs paint now and it will be stunning. When I'm done should have about $30K in her.

I've learned a great deal and have had a blast. Met some of the most amazing people and have gone on some awesome journeys. So glad I did it.

It depends on how much blood sweat and busted knuckles you want. Dollars -v- Sweat.
