I want a Cobra,

[69boss429]

Ok, just to clarify my trade considerations for the comedians on the forum.

In looking at the price of various SPF Cobras advertised on the internet it would take at least 4 of them plus cash to equal a trade for my car,
I just don't have that kind of garage space.
And,no offense but lets face it they are still replicas,very good ones but not the real deal.
If I wanted a "real Cobra"as in Shelby it would still take at least one continuation series plus cash for serious consideration.
My Boss 429 is "the real deal".
At this time the folks who keep records of Boss 429's in existence can only account for a fraction of the cars that were produced.
A total production in 69 and 70 of just 1359 cars which includes 2 Boss 429 Cougar race cars and 2 Quarter Horse race cars.
Of the total only 405 cars are registered.
Of the 93 Black cars ever made only 33 are accounted for.
I love all the Cobras but the only ones that will ever be "rare" will be the originals.Like the Boss 429

And to the astute observation that once a car is sold by the original owner it is no longer a one owner car I say"DUH"
Stop trying to put spin on my post and realize that the fact that it is currently a one owner car and that fact simply means it's history can be easily verified,unlike so many cars that have shady pasts and extensive restorations to bring them back to "concours"condition.Often with mismatched or reproduction parts.
As to any assessment from Steve Strange,I submit that based on the prices he wants for items on his website I might be better off disassembling the car and selling the pieces.
And,I have consulted with others in the business of brokering rare cars and they concur with the asking price.Just tallying the cost of misc stock parts that are included I come up with about 28K for them alone.
So,while you say my car sits stagnent on the market I'll just say I havn't had the right offer yet but one things for sure these cars are getting rarer every day and it will never be offered at any bargain basement price.

So,to any SPF owner or dealer who wants to make a serious offer,ie your car plus 200K I add the following:
No big block cars with "small"block engines would be considered.427,428 FE blocks only.
FIA or slabside cars 289 or 302 block based cars only.
To any dealer,I might consider a roller in trade.

Have a great day and Happy Motoring.
