Oh well, that pretty much excludes a Cobra.

I think everyone here will pretty much confirm that a Cobra is a Tinkerer's Dream (or nightmare, depending on which side of the fence you sit.)

They are mechanically a 60's race car. Lots of things to tweek. The engine is a 60s engine.

Don't be tricked into putting a modern (Coyote) engine in a Cobra. It's an orphan and will be hard to sell later. (Of course, if that's what you want they show up every now and then.)

I'd suggest you look for a Corvette.
