Is there any way that the build year can be gleaned from their serial number?

Spring is just around the corner. Go out and meet some of the folks in the WCCC
Windy City Cobra Club - Club Cobra There might be a nice Cobra available in your area that you don't know about. And, don't be afraid to post a WTB and specify that you only want cars that meet a certain criteria and that have documented care. Just don't buy a car sight-unseen, or without having driven it (I'm pretty sure you wouldn't). If it's an out-of-state car, there's usually somebody on this board that can recommend a mechanic in that area that knows how to look over one of these cars. BUT, you've still got to put your ass on a plane and fly out there and sit in it, drive it, smell it, and taste it. There's just no substitute for that. And, yes, I'm sure if you just post the serial number of an SPF around here people can tell you more about it, even without ever seeing it, than you might think. ERA and KMS cars are easy, you just write Bob P. or Tom K. and ask them about that particular car.
