It's going to sell - reserve off, current bid $200,200.

Lots of hype in the description. This one sold for $140K at Barrett Jackson in 2007.

Did you see that carbon fiber hood scoop? First thing I'd do is get it painted.

There's no reason for this car to be in a museum. It should be driven.

If money were no object, I'd bid on it. Unfortunately, funds are limited right now,.. but I have a dollar & a dream so I'm playing the New York State Lottery. Soon as I win I'm going to have one of these (& all my friends too!).

That's crazy. Basically $100k because it was owned briefly by Carroll. All the rest is nice, but easily available in any CSX.

I was "offered" this car last month. The guy wanted $265k for it.....I asked him if he needed help kicking his crack habit.

With the latest safeguards in place on Ebay you have to question the "private auctions" from certain sellers. I'll leave it at that.

Excuse me while I go out and put a carbon fiber sticker on my hood scoop....

C4 Vette front suspension?? Is that a 40th anniversary thing does anyone know. I might have to get the big book out....................

It looks like they got some photos mixed up. That suspension isn't on the Cobra.

The 40th Anniversary Cobras were more expensive from the get go. As I recall they were selling for around $180K...??? Thereabouts.

Anyway, the economy has hurt all these cars. REAL and replica alike

God willing if we can get our Country turned around in November 2010 and November 2012 these cars hopefully will once again regain their value.

Also if the bid is legit at $200,200 and I don't know if it is or not...the fact that Shelby may retire and SA reduce its operations to performance parts only for Mustangs thereby ending Cobra production may likely turn the Shelby Cobra 40th anniversary edition and all other Shelby Cobras into instant classics IMHO. Maybe that has something to do with it????

How funny is that!!!! and ironic!!!!... because that classic clip always comes to mind when I have to try and explain my posts to you that you routinely can't grasp. It is frustrating but patience is a virtue is what I repeat to myself when I take out some crayons to draw you a picture of what I'm saying so you don't misunderstand it. Usually still fails to get through though.

Again, here come the crayons....I didn't say the bid was legit, again, read slowly....I said "if" and noted that anticipation of SA eliminating Cobra production may account for such a bid on top of the 40th being limited in production.

Thanks for the heads up on the Vette suspension thing Kris.

Looking at this pic I'm left scratching my head where in the heck they got this pic and WHY is it in this Ad? It doesn't look anything like Cobra suspension. Weird oil pan too, missing anti roll bar shown in another pic. How could such a fundamental mistake be made for a $200,000 car.

Or, am I the one that is mistaken??
