Hauss, what you are saying is that you want a perfect car but they are just too expensive? What others have said is just wait, hope, pray even? Maybe that magic will come together and you'll get that dream car for a song. You contacted me about my BDR for sale quite a while ago and had many questions that I was happy to answer. Then, out of the blue, you sent me an email saying that your friend told you that an older BDR was only worth $30K. At that time I realized you were working, living in, some different dimension. To make an arbitrary statement such as that was proof to me that you were not a serious contender and frankly, don't know what you want, nor do you understand value. Then you followed up with, " I see your car is still for sale, maybe my friend was right?" For the record, I have not advertised selling the car anywhere else but here. And I have not been aggressively doing so, just answering questions. All that said, this post has been interesting!
Also, for the record, before I bought this car I spoke to my local Cobra club president and asked him about all brands of Cobra kit cars. His opinion was that there are pros and cons to all manufacturers but the most important factor was how well the car is put together. My car is the third Cobra built by my mechanic/builder. His last was a factory 5 that won 4 or 5 trophy's, including "best engineered car" at an all Cobra show at the Anaheim Convention Center. there were over 200 cars at that meet and he feels this one is the best yet.
