I have waited almost 20 years to be able to make this post, but after some wheeling and dealing over the last few days I am now the proud owner of an ERA 289 Cobra. The car was built in 2008, currently has just shy of 4000 miles on it, and for all I can tell is in immaculate condition.
Many thanks to Saleen09, a fellow cobras enthusiast who answered the call to inspect the car for me (the car is in Washington, I live in Virginia). He did an amazing job looking at the car, and helping me get a great price on it as well.
Still have to work out the logistics of getting it from Seattle area to eastern Virginia so any advice on shipping companies is appreciated.
I will post a pic or 2, and promise to post many more once the car is safely in my hands.
Best Regards,
Byron
