Save your money. You're probably just going through a phase and it will pass. On the off-chance I'm wrong, between now and next winter take the time to read the last five years of posts on this forum. If you're still enamored with the Cobra you can then buy one intelligently. If you're buying one of these cars on impulse, and haven't been in love with them for years (or decades), then you're asking for trouble. These cars are a huge pain in the ass, really expensive, and totally impractical. |

listen to patrickt
It takes a special (different) guy to own a Cobra. We have seen a lot of them buy one and then a year later sell it.
We met a local guy last year that wanted one. I offered to let him ride with me to the London Cobra Show last June. He accepted and rode the 1070 mile round trip plus all the driving we did at the show. Loved it but did not buy a Cobra. He has a Vette and drives it all over the country. A Cobra is a different type of car.
Take your time and make sure you want one.
Dwight

Look at this complete cobra for sale here on CC.
It's a great looking car and it even has a side oiler !
I would buy it if I could. The Shell Valley is a high quality car. The only thing I don't like, is the highback seats.

Patrickt said it best! You should have some idea what you really want a Cobra for,and what powers it,small or big block.These cars are a blast to drive provided the chassis is set up correctly,otherwise they are outright unpredictable.Any car you choose should be able to stop as hard or harder than it accellerates.Have fun in your search.

Dallas,
From your price range you will have a huge number of different Cobras to consider and could even consider several new rollers and have someone install the engine. I assume you are in Dallas, Texas from your user name (maybe not) but serveral recommended going to San Marcos at the end of the month as our Texas group will have a 100 Cobras there for you to see, speak to owners etc. Be a great experience for you! We have a great group in Texas with groups in Dallas, Houston, Austin and other smaller cites. Dallas group meets 1st Saturday each month for lunch (breakfest in summer hot months) and also other get together cruises like Cars for Coffee up in Plano. I have had 6 Cobras over the last 15 years and actually having a new Hurricane Cobra being built right now. You will find many cobra manufactures that build great cars and it really comes down to your preferences the look of each, options and how much you want to spend. Look forward to meeting you and be happy to discuss Cobras any time just send me a PM and we can email and/or talk offline if you wish.
