Do you know of anyone near enough to the car who is familiar with these cars that you could have take a close look at it. Pictures and an owners statements about how good the car is are not reliable all the time. What shape is the motor in and is it a 289 HiPo or a regular 289? How has the car been treated? Raced, or just driven as a driver. The automatic transmission might hurt a little if you plan to sell it but when we had 8 cobras here, five of them had automatics and they all sold well. Can you get some pictures and post them so the people here can see the car?
