Thank you Bill Wells,thank you Bill Wells,thank you Bill wells,now it's two against the world,not just one (me).
Edley;
You have a point,but unfortunately 99% of the Cobra insurers out there are "specialty insurance companys",meaning they insure street rods/classics/antiques/some kit cars/replicas. When they look at the cars they insure and the claims made it is clear as water the Cobra is a bad deal hands down,that's why they are shying from them....
A buddy of mine has five super nice street rods between himself/his wife/ his son,they are all insured with the same company my Mustang is insured with and all have agreed on value policys as I do, all five cars are valued between 30k and 45k. I'll bet five bucks all five do not get the mileage in one year that my Mustang sees and they have never been within a mile of a drag strip. You talk about good risks,that's why they get brakes on their premiums...
Coming back to Bill's point about car shows,last month at the Pensecola Regional Mustang and All ford car show,there were approx. 200 cars there,I saw one original small block Cobra, CSX 2397 I think and three relpicas,so we had four out of 200 there,not a big percentage.....
I am sorry that things are turning out the way they are for Cobra owners,but with the high profile accidents with fatalities and high (six figure payouts) payouts,this was/is enevitable..... We can try and make a difference like NSRA has done,but as I have said it will be a slow go,but worth it I think..
