Why do people sell their Cobra?

In my case I will sell it as I get close to retirement. Just does not fit in my retirement plans.

What he said, or when my left knee finally gives out and I can't depress a clutch any longer. Whichever event comes first. More than likely just hand the keys to my son and tell him, "Somehow I managed not to let it kill me. Now it's your turn."

So it seems that, logically, that the people who frequent this site have had to give up their rides for financial, age related or other tangible and quite understandable reasons. I guess I've always been interested in the people who have a high dollar Cobra built for them who suddenly turn around and inexplicably sell it. I'm sure long time clubcobra folks remember that guy who was having a high end Kirkham built and asked literally thousands of inane questions until it was finally done, and then sold it. It would seem by the replies here that these people are the small minority.

Each Cobra owner is as unique as their specific cars. It is futile to try and understand why some sell their cars ad some don't. The variables of money, wives, health, skills, age, attention span, .....add up to a formidable matrix.

I'm on my 6th Cobra and I sold either to build another Cobra, get a GT40, Kirkham Aluminum Cobra, GT350R Race Car, New GT500, back to Cobras. My wife says I love the build and chase of buying and selling.........
