I was told by a Backdraft expert that if I did not like the car, "I would not get hurt if turned it around on a quick sale." My expert who is in the Cobra business just sold a low 200 Backdraft for $47K and it was really nice.

So I would say a good price from an individual would be $40K to $45K would be a fair price.

The only problem I had with the car was from the get go- and that was tires were original and needed replacing. One of the knockoffs would not come off and everything was tried. The final solution was cutting the wheel off and purchasing a new set from Vintage Wheels.

My suggestion- assuming the car you are looking at has true pin drive wheels, see if wheels come off before purchase and if not, discount for a new set of wheels.

People told me I would sell the Cobra after a year or two but have no intentions of doing so. It is my favorite fun car of all time.

I've heard that it's good practice to remove the knock-offs once every year and re-lube with anti seize
