I'd walk away from this one.
Enough said.

No, of course not. I'm sure Mr. Muck is busy answering telephone and email questions about prices and MSRP's, since that information can only be revealed by accessing the The Great Big Book of Secrets located in.........Oops, I'm sorry, he can't tell you where it's located, since he would have to kill you, if he did.  |

Would you like a price list emailed to you? 
You STILL can't let the "289 price" thing go even after 4 years?

That thought did cross my mind. For his sake, I'm hoping he did not.

I haven't bought it yet. I am getting a little scared by the comments on this site, so maybe I should move toward a newer mustang or camaro that doesn't need as much work to keep it on the road. I've always loved the looks and style of Cobra's but maybe I should not consider buying one. Thanks

Not a Camaro This is a Cobra site, such sacrilege! If you do settle on a Camaro, please due not be like the a@@hole who was driving one recently and wanted to race me down a residential road with a speed limit of 35. Needless to say I let him go merrily along his way as he thought what a badass he was, while I thought, what an a@@hole!
Ultimately you want to settle on something that you can drive and enjoy, Cobra's are wonderful cars, but they are not for everyone. |

hey, Kip,
Do not naysayers stop your dream of owning a cobra. the only opinion that matters is yours (maybe your spouse?)
there are plenty of cobras for sale. buy the one fits your budget.
Do a bit more research, find a local car club, or attend a car show. There's always 1 guy with a Cobra replica.
it's just a car with some old school mechanics, it's going to break, it's no big deal. good luck

$30K budget will buy you a very nice C5 or C6 Corvette. Or maybe one of those FRC or BRZ or whatever Subaru, Toyota or Scion that's the hot ticket right now. |
