I'm just a little biased as I too have a Cobra for sale. However, the paint looks nice, the body sits a little too high, the seller really is not too sure what he has on his hands, as he lists an "Electronic Weber carb", when in fact he has an edlebrock carb on the engine (some are marked weber on the side) with an electric choke. The HP figures thrown around are not substantiated by any dyno testing, so is not factual at this time either. Read the description again carefully, notice that while he states he has halibrad knock offs, he also lists them as "4 lug"............Just some of the items that stand out from this sellers original auction listing:

Personally, I do not know the car, but I would have someone look at the car before purchasing.....As I would suggest with any Cobra replica, as there are some really nice replicas in the 20-30K range, and some really crappy ones.....No two are the same, especially when they are hand built by others...................


Hope you find this just a bit helpful.

Sincerely,

Bill S.
