Newbie & Classic Roadster (first post)

[Davekmd]

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!
