Why do people sell their Cobra?

[mdross1]

My reasons were always felt guilty for not driving them more.Our Cobra is not going anywhere for quite some time even though it sits a lot.We just sold a bodyoff restored 69SS Chevelle,loved the car and owned it for over 30 yrs but it's time had come,and the offer was too good to refuse.
As you have read and in my experience over the years all my dealings with muscle car and Harley Davidson owners reasons for selling included all of what MrMustang wrote about and then some.

It is always more exiting to look forward to something, then actually having it.
Evrybody looked forward to their licence, now it's no big deal. I thought about flying for a long time, got into that, got bored. Tried skydiving, didn't get bored, just damm expensive. I've looked forward to a Cobra all my life, I'm in the process of building, I just hope I don't get bored, or find the weather isn't always right. I've had motorbikes, they hardly got used. I guess my mind is always active and I'm thinking about the next thing too much.

The weather ISN'T always right, JD...just last Friday I made a mad 110 mile dash from home to my GF's house....ran from rain all the way, ALMOST made it before the clouds opened up and dropped buckets on me when I was only 18 miles from my destination. I sat in the rain with a tarp over "luggage" and other items carried on the passenger's side and an umbrella over me in the driver's seat for 45 minutes while the rain poured in. Right now the seats and the carpet are out of the Cobra, drying out. I will install a drain plug on each floorpan...but that won't keep the issue from arising again....and again.....and again

Very soon I will have the carpeting and bulkhead redone...will have the upholstery shop use marine carpet to eliminate the issue of wet regular carpet. When you drive one of these often, as I do, you have to be proactive...you WILL get wet from time to time, JD....it's just the "nature" (pun intended ) of the beast, can't be avoided.

Despite all that, though, mine is NOT for sale
Cheers!
