[hey,littlecobra]

I can send you a pm, if you like.

3-4 weeks ago there were two 'older' ERA's (like mine) for sale on Cobra Country, both for around $45K. that was asking, and still needing to pay the commission or whatever required for Cobra Country. I don't know if yours is better or not. Is newer better? probably. I believe they both had original 427 SO's, but i could be wrong. I wrestled with the best price for mine, and although i would have liked to have gotten a couple of thousand more for mine, i decided a buyer in hand is better than holding out for a couple grand and waiting and waiting and waiting....
i did not have to sell; i could have waited for eternity, but the party was over and i was ready to sell. I added up all my receipts, and well no we don't get back the toys and trinkets and add-ons.... but- i figured the fun and joy and friends and experiences were priceless and worth the extra money. For an almost 20 year old car, it held it's value pretty well, i think. I mean we all know it's in that engine anyway, but i was not unhappy with my price.
You can either sell it at an attractive price, or sit on it and wait for a bit and see if 1. the economy improves, 2. if there is the perfect someone out there that loves your car almost as much as you do, or 3. there is someobody out there willing to spend the money on a car that is almost undoubtably worth every penny you want for it.

i did not advertise my car for sale, but when i mentioned I'd like to sell it, it was sold in two days. I don't think that's too bad, with no commission, either. It's all in where you are, who you know, and how you spread the word.
I think the people that can afford a toy like a cobra are probably not too terribly hurt by all the economy stuff. There are still people out there with money; they just get to be a little bit pickier, with more things available.

good luck.
I will send that pm, if you like.
