New guy with basic questions

Thanks! I always enjoy the research and shopping part! I appreciate the info on Vintage Motorsports. I may have to up my budget slightly! It looks like they sell the Backdraft for 35 and I can pick an engine package and get a brand new car! They offer the Coyote engine from the new mustangs. That might be a nice option as far as reliability. Maybe not as cool and powerful as the 427? They also have an EFI 427 which is appealing to me. Seems like you could get a brand new one for 35+20ish? Maybe a slightly used one similar to that would get me close to the 40 number? All good info and greatly appreciated. I do need to see some up close and personal, very good advice. Thanks again!

Now once you get up in the budget area of $50K, you'll start to see Superformance Cobras, which is considered a Cobra that is closer on the authenticity spectrum to an original CSX3000.

I just happened to pick this one, because it's at the top of the list on CobraCountry, asking $48,900, but I'm sure there are many others.

Throw in an additional wad of cash and you can get a car that has the windshield wipers going in the opposite direction. Seriously. The higher up in the food chain you go, the more you pay for little things like that. If stuff like that doesn't matter to you, then don't pay for it. If you're not sure, then take the time to learn about them before you pay for them.
