SAAC is coming to the Poconos in August. A good time for you to look at all types of Cobras...' original, real and replica.

go to the London Cobra car show in Ohio with $40K cash. You will have plenty to choose and drive home.

The Summit Racing built FFR is at auction right now. Might want to check it out.

Yes, actually I stumbled upon the Summit Racing listing on ebay and am watching it. I was at Carlisle on Sunday and I ...thought ... I saw the car at the Summit tent. It was very new silver Cobra but I didn't quite remember what the car was on ebay... I any event thanks much. There were a few Cobras roadsters there and a coupe too! Thanks to this site i'm becoming way more informed.

I guess I could kick myself, but I missed the Summit roadster on ebay by $744.00 ... someone got a great deal on a runner.

This site has been a wonderful source of information. After several months of lurking I've contracted to buy to a Shell Valley cobra. I'm going to personally see the car this weekend for a final go/no decision, but the pics look fabulous. I've had email and voice conversations with the seller... The seller made me an offer I couldn't refuse, if the car isn't as advertised/promoted I can walk way with my full deposit in hand.

I'm pretty psyched about this purchase because of what it represents to me, a neat (albeit very modestly priced) vintage car, I can drive on week-ends to enjoy the miid-Atlantic Maryland countryside. It's not a fire-breather or a rumbling intimidator, outfitted for bragging rights, just a neat car I hope to enjoy. My adult son is pretty psyched too.

We were just at a local car show this past weekend. I was showing him the 'technology' of the 60s (and earlier). He commented on how analog the vehicles were and how engineering was so direct and simple right out in the open to see. Anyway I'm 99 & 44/100ths in!
