I would offer $55,000 and work up form there, 60k max, there are so many great SPF cars out there for 40k to 50k, not with the Coyote but it's not worth 25k more to have that engine over say a Windsor, which I prefer over a Mod motor any day, more power and tg, with great reliability...

Also lots of great Backdrafts out there for much cheaper also and I mean much, and it is a great car with great handling and looks, unless your really set on a Coyoyte motor look into a good used one with a Windsor, you won't be disappointed.. I have driven both and owned one, they are both top notch cars... My SPF had a DOHC Cammer in it, if I could have done it again I would have gotten a Windsor and never looked back... I would have bought a used one and saved the money over a new one and had just as big of a smile on my face...

There are many you tube's with Alumniator's in BDR's, long drives, most do come from Vintage. The Aluminator is a great motor, hand built and can handle 700 + HP when supercharged. I was considering a BDR with this setup, but always kept coming back to a Kirkham, so my mind is set now, saving my penny's

If I were to go the pre-owned route....

Where are the best places to find a used cobra?

I am aware of cobra country, ebay, auto trader classic. Any others??

Thanks

I like Cobra Country the best, they have sold tons of these cars, most listed are by honorable Cobra owners, there are cars sold on this site as well, just my opinion used is the only way to buy, let the other guy spend all the money building it and pass the huge savings on to yourself. If you talk to most people on here they have blown their budgets building these cars and never get any of it back when they sell. Plus there are so many used cars to choose from so your in the drivers seat to say the least...
