Watch out BDR, SPF, FFR, there is a new Cobra-Corvette on the market!
 
$30,000 bargain!

For $30,000, Hey Little Co-Brah!

I think the writer was speaking to Evan.

"There are in existence more fake Cobras than real ones."

It's a purpose built car with a body that looks like a Cobra. So it's pretty much the same as many of those "BDR, SPF, FFR's".

A bit more detail would be nice, but it looks like high quality parts were used. For $20,000, you would probably get a better deal than a lot of the crap that is out there.

It's $30k, a one-off garage build, and he's willing to discuss a trade - the BDRs, SPFs and FFRs have nothing to worry about. Look where the dry-sump reservoir and battery are located, you don't see that in the "polished" pic. Wait, that's the hill-climb config, drive it to the hill, pop the body off and let 'er rip!

Seller asking $30K. U offer $15K CASH. Strike a deal between $20-22K.

Truth be told, this cobra-vette builder has the right approach and budget sense. This hot rod is based off a 60 yr old car and technology. Anyone spending more than $50K for a hot rod cobra is wasting their money.

Alot of ERA, SPF, KMP and CSX owners are kicking themselves right now based upon your statement. :LOL:

And I'm sure all those folks on the streets and highways that will literally almost lose control of their car in order to get a closer look, think we wasted our money too. :)

true
this cobra-vette hot rod is $20K short of bling and go fast parts.

Where we differ is our approach to this hobby. The builder sees the hot rod as a hot rod shaped like a Cobra. U see your hot rod as a real cobra.

Go for it nyg, you're in the market right?

I've been wondering if NYG is a Jalopnik writer, this guy:

http://diehipster.files.wordpress.co...pg?w=300&h=273

or both??? He seems so hipster and Brooklyn-like.

lots of people spend big $$$ on nostalgia and a lot of cobra makers know how to pour the kool aid.

people are looking at your hot rods shaped like cobras because there are less than a 1000 real Cobras. It's a rare sight like Bigfoot.

The builder of this cobra-vette is using parts (better parts) than real Cobras and he is spending less.

I don't see the wisdom of spending $70K-$200K+++ on a hot rod that is supposed to drive and feel like a 60 yr old car.

I don't see the wisdom is living where you live (NY or LA that is)... but seemingly many others live there too... They must know something I don't.

Do you get the analogy? No!

I'll spell it out for you... COBRA - Its a way of life... we must know something you don't...

So with that wisdom, here's some more - Spend up and enjoy ;)

... and then spend as much time under the car as you do in it.;) If you don't get it, you don't get it... and that's ok.:cool:

I'm having a hard time believing this NYG is real.
It's got to be Jamo in disguise.
Yup. Can't be real.

Funny, you were full of the opposite wisdom not that long ago :LOL:

Buy the best, either a Kirkham or CSX. Spend $100K for roller, $35K for engine, add $10K for bling parts. Only then, you will either be a Cobra guy or not.

The simple fact of the matter, it's because you don't have the money. I don't see the wisdom in building a 12,000 SF mansion in my neighborhood, no one needs that kind of space. $10MM, $15MM, $20MM.....But people with that kind of money do.

And yes, I do have a real Cobra. Just like the preponderance of us here on CC do. We just don't have Shelby Cobra's. But they're real. I'm caressing it right now. :LOL:

It's all about perspective.

Are you drawing that conclusion based on NYG's avatar? %/

My perspective, even negative attention is better than no attention at all.
