Newbie saying hello and needing info from the experts on a Goben Cobra.
Hello folks,
I am a new member of CC, could you guys please help me with some information on this eBay Cobra listing. There isn’t a lot of info on the internet about this build. Does anyone here own one of these Cobras? And if so, could you give me some insights on how reliable a daily driver this Cobra is. Thanks for any help. BTW this is a ‘killer’ Replica Cobra website!” Here is the link. I don't know how to create a clickable link here! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1964-...item3caad7902c |
I am a newbie as well, I have been looking for a few months for a superformance or backdraft. Never heard of that car,but I would guess it is heavy and not the same experience as most.
|
It has a curb weight of 2,850.
|
ugh
It's about as close to a Cobra as I am to Brad Pitt...
|
Yuch. Wouldn't touch it.
|
That rear bumper/body treatment is devastatingly ugly. If you like it though good luck brother. Maybe you'll get it for cheap.

The front isn't bad, but the rear bumper thing has a bit to be desired.
The Cavalier interior seems a bit cheap also. The Cavalier was cheap. |
I would pass, even at $10,000 or below, that is not a good deal.

What the hell is that thing ? :eek:
YUCK !!! lulu52- Please don't think about this,.... THING ? Even the cost now at $511 is too much. Why,......why would someone build something like that ? It's a disgrace to the Cobra world and should be burned down to ashes. I'M SERIOUS ! :JEKYLHYDE I've always felt "to each it's own" or "to the eye of the beholder" as far as what people like in life, but this is ridiculous people. :o:o:o They actually built four of these pieces of crap ! :LOL: I was gonna make a "ugly part list" but, I ran out of room here and got quite the migraine headache. Like my niece says, "WHAT EVER"..... http://i49.tinypic.com/am3vpd.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/wki64p.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/5ju0xg.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/sq6sm1.jpg |
Is it just me or does lulu52 seem like he/she could be the seller? Look at the profile. Buys, sells and inspects?????

Had to do some searching based on the vague "history" of the ebay car, but came up with a car that used a custom cobra body with a cut down early to mid 80's 4dr Chevy Cavalier chassis (my feeble mind remembers an article in either Car & Driver or Road and Track about this mid America car dealer turned manufacturer)
http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/...cavalier-3.jpg Dash is the give-a-way as are the rear side markers and cut down door from the Cavalier. Again, not something that will be worth what they believe it to be as a "rare factory prototype". There is a reason why this never made it past the early development stages, I'll leave it at that.

For those of you looking for a Superformance the one that posted for sale the other day in Wisconsin with small block and webers is a heck a deal with asking price of $ 42K! Gee the roller is that much now and this car is number 1592...

lulu52 got one thing right: This IS a great forum on Cobra replicas.
But man, that Goben Cobra is absolutely awful! Yeeesh! |
