So I'd suggest you wander on down, get a day admission and if it looks like you might like one of them, then go buy bidders credentials. Set a top limit and back out if it goes higher. That said, I would expect them to be in the 130-140K range.

Thanks, everyone, for the feedback.
Tony, regarding your question about EFI -- I've seen a few carb'd Cobras struggle to start up or idle properly and read a few posts in this forum describing the various other benefits of EFI, with the only apparent downside being initial acquisition cost and engine tuning (and further departure from 60's technology). According to your profile you have the Roush 427 IR. Are you happy with the engine, and in addition to climate or elevation considerations have you experienced improved performance or 'ease of use' with EFI? Sorry if this is a topic for another thread - I'm new here and don't know all of the forum rules. Just let me know and I can move it elsewhere.
Thanks,
Ali
