I am 32 years old and have been nuts for these cars for almost 4yrs.I passed by a Sunoco gas station and saw a blue/white Cobra and remembered seeing pictures of cobras(at the time we referred to them as AC Cobras) in magazines in the late 70's and early 80's. I did like them but never knew a kit market was there and did not have the $$$ anyway.
After seeing the blue Cobra at the gas station I started to research cobras and was quite surprised. I think that I started saving immediately after.
I checked out some of the kits at car shows, went to S.A.A.C. 21 and visited the local companys(N.E.).I was ready to buy when I heard Shelby(S.A.) was going to "compete" with the kit car industry.
So I looked into my new option and figured why not wait a little longer and save up a little more and buy from S.A.. So I left my deposit and almost 2yrs later I got my csx4000 cobra in Nov.1998 and have been building it over the past year. I'm almost done and I am psyched.
This site is great, I just saw this thread for the first time. I'm glad someone brought it to the top.
