now that said. Great color and paint, looks clean, and you couldn't build that car for $35K today.

And it is SB100 already for you in California. I hear that's worth $3k to you guys on a used car.

As I write this the auction is at $33,700. I think that's a "fair" price for both buyer and seller

Can I see your car? I could be interested. I

went and saw the car and I wasn't that impressed the owner was total a-hole and something seemed off about the car. The horn just stopped working and when i drove it really didn't have as much power as i thought it would have and breaks sucked. The guy couldn't answer any of my questions he didn't really know much.

I saw this car a while back which i still like and interested in. Its mid states. What would u say makes better cars Mid states or Factory Five? Also how much do you think this is worth?

1965 Used Shelby COBRA 427 SC at Celebrity Cars Las Vegas, NV, IID 10698350

thank you so much for your help guys. i love your opinions.

It's actually not for sale right now (but they say everything has it's price, and the $38k the other guy was asking would get me to sell and pay delivery)

But here's a quick snapshot for price and build comparison

It's a MK 3 from Factory 5 titled as a 2005 with 7800 miles

completely non donor build, with the EF crate engine having the only "used" part in a seasoned block on the 351W that produces 400hp

because this isn't a for sale thread, I'll be brief

tremec 3650 trans,
IRS rear suspension
Pin drive length (some day I'll convert to pin drives)
cobra 4 wheel discs (coated by Disk Brakes -r- us)
Team 3 wheels
custom interior...period correct brown leather
stainless sidepipes
all upgraded suspension
pro-paint job by worship 1/ NC painter with rolled edges and hidden body mounts

There's over $50k in the build

and if I was to sell, I realistically think it would fetch $30k. The car's not perfect, gets driven and "needs" a few things






I think that's a realistic price for a "decent" FFR car, (especially a non donor, pro painted, IRS car.)
