Bob - You asked for feedback, so I assume you will take mine in the spirit that it is offered. I know that some people are offended when others do not agree with them about the value of their possessions. Since you have had nearly zero response to your original post, obviously not many people agree with the price you want for your car. When it comes time to sell a car, any car, or for that matter almost anything at all, it is only worth what a buyer is willing to pay, regardless of the original cost or what you have invested in it. I'm sure that I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, but maybe not, since you seem surprised that you have gotten so little response.

From my perspective as one who is still shopping for my first Cobra, I can tell you that for fifty thousand plus, I can get any one of a dozen different Cobras built exactly the way I want it, color, interior, engine, transmission, options, etc., brand new, no miles, and it will be exactly the Cobra of my dreams, no compromises. Your Cobra is exactly the way you wanted it, and I am sure that it is a beautiful car, but unless you find someone who agrees with you totally, chances are he will spend his fifty grand as I will.

I hope this helps. The advice from others to advertise on as many venues as possible is very good. Hopefully you will find the buyer you are looking for.
