If you know someone who is familiar with Cobras and what to look at that would be a good thing to have them go with you and look it over. The main thing as I am sure you know about getting a built car is the quality of the build. And many people don't use some of the parts that come with the car. Also do you just want it to drive and enjoy or are you going to track it.
Welcome to the site also.

Hi Ron,
Thanks for the welcome. I have no intention of racing it. I'd just like something that I can get in and drive but also hold its value so I'm guessing one that closely resembles a true Cobra would be the way to go.
The prices are all over the place on them and it's difficult to figure out why such a price difference, from the mid $20Ks to close to $100K. I'm guessing the 351s that are stroked out to 427 are the most desirable assuming the build quality on the motor is good. I've sent an email to the Mile Hi Cobra club to see if someone there could take a look at the one in CO for me but haven't heard back. It sounds like a pretty good deal but without actually seeing it I'm a little hesitant to drop that kind of $$.
Thanks again,
Joe
