Considering the location this looks like a very nice Cobra to me!

In England, as Wilf has noted, very FEW Cobras actually have a Ford V-8. MAny are V-6's or smaller I would guess! Chevy power is also common.

Here in Portugal your looking at a genuine Ford V8 small block, that alone is note worthy! Like here in the Hawaiian Islands were not talking about a LOT of cars to choose from!

The fact that "many" are available at a "good price" only applies to the USA mainland! It certainly aint true "here on island". I would suspect it would cost several thousand to ship one into Portugal. Making the one in question a potentially good deal! And by the way, I don't think it looks "that bad". I kind of like it!

The "grease" on the suspension components simply tells me someone has actually DRIVEN the car and the "bugs" are worked out! Maintainence has been done, the car looks like a "real world" ride, not some trailor queen. The motor looks nice with the valve covers and air cleaner, cool. It's got the coil over up front to. Now I don;t care for the automatic trans, but other than that, from the pics, I can't see anything "bad" about it!
