Where else to shop for a cobra?
I've been watching this site, Cobra Country, eBay and Craigslist for a few months and haven't found a ton of cars to look at. I'm in Southeastern PA and willing to travel a few hours however, not looking to fly out to see cars yet. Are there any other sites or forums that have cobras for sale?
TIA
Chris

Dwight- thanks for the quick reply. Alabama is a bit of a drive for me- trying to find something in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, etc. I'm just outside Philadelphia and hoping not to drive more than a couple hours.
I'm looking for a weekend cruiser, looking close to original however, no need to be perfect. Based on my budget (35k or less), Kirkham and Era are out of reach. I'll have to go Shell Valley, BnB, FF, etc.
Motor could be worked 351 or a 427- as long as its Ford and has 400+ hp. Definitely looking for a manual tranny.
Color is my issue... I'm stuck on silver or black. If I find one that meets all other requirements and is blue, I could go blue as well. The blue cobras just seem too common (at least within Cobras ;-)).
Thanks again guys

Chris,
The above list works, watch how they are titled if you are buying something previously built, as PA is closing their loopholes and you may be required to re-apply for a PA "Specialty Contructed" title,
Shame you could not come up a bit more though  , especially since you are in PA.

Hey Bill- Thanks for the input. Have you seen where PA makes you re-register a kit car when bringing it into the state? I was hoping to maintain whatever registration was on it would carry into PA. |

I have a few bounce back from Harrisburg and I've had to go through the whole Spec Const process from scratch. It really depends on how it is titled out of state. I would say only 20% get bounced back which means that 80% fly through the system without an issue.

What a hypocrite. You're advocating financing a Cobra purchase? Whatever happened to you droning on and on about making sure that a buyer pays 100% cash and to make sure that it's money that they could throw away and not it impact their financial picture.  |

Uhhh, well, damn. I guess you have me there.  But, it's such a small amount, that if Bill just took back a two year note for fixed payments of $300/mo., I think that would be ok, all considered. |

Chris
I am in Voorhees NJ-you are welcome to check out my silver BDR anytime to give you an idea of what the car is built like. 35k is a low # for a new car unless you were talking about the rolling ass'y only in which case you have good options.
I looked for about a year and couldn't find anything (already assembled) that I would feel comfortable (as safe as you can be in these cars anyway) driving even used. The #'s started in the 40's and went up from there 
Feel free to inspect my car anytime.

I looked seriously for almost twenty years a bought a Backdraft, sight unseen, new from Vintage.
My wife and I went to Carlisle, PA in 1994, Run and Gun 1996 in Norwalk, OH, and a Shelby/Ford gathering in Tulsa and Hallett in 1997.
Lots of local stuff, years of computer searching and, finally in 2010, I bought a red Backdraft.
Enjoy looking,
Russell

Still searching.... Willing to consider non-local now as I'm getting anxious and would love to have something before winter. I'll drive a few hours or, will also consider shipping. I'm still monitoring all sites mentioned above and then some. Just haven't found the right car for me, in my price range.
Thanks in advance for any leads you could forward.
