What fun is a car with "no stories?"
I'd pay extra for that!

I keep going back to if Evan's car does sell someday what the new owner will have to deal with. It will always be "Evan's car" in cobra circles - he promoted it everywhere, no getting around it. That's unwanted baggage, never the new owner's new cobra, just Evan's old CSX4206.
If the new owner ever showed up here, I'm sure we would welcome him as a brother. I also know that as soon as CSX4206 is mentioned the peanut gallery will chime in "oh, you own Evan's cobra" lol. |

Kinda disagree.. Just sold a 66 GT350 convert about 6 months ago.. Had the car since 1974.. Lots of guys knew about it (Shelby guys) but it hadn't been seen since 1975. Became a barn car !! Well sort of. Now I am a has been and everyone knows the new owner.

Your situation and Evan's are worlds apart -
Yours was an original, Evan's was not
You didn't need to justify authenticity, Evan spent a decade telling us why his was a "genuine real one"
Yours was out of the lime light for something like 40 years
Evan put his in the lime light every chance he got
Don't know you, never heard of ya  but I'm sure you're not like Evan and a nice guy
Evan, ask around, a blowhard thread opened up in his honor |

My overwhelming impression of Evan's posts was that he always had to weigh in and say something. I'll leave it at that.

It just takes one buyer that knows what he wants, either in his heart or knowledge.
I watched a friend sell his pretty rare Ferrari and was there for the deal. My friend had the price higher (by quite a bit) than he was willing to take. The guy that came to see it simply looked it over and said "How much?". He told him and the guy just said "Deal" and that was it. Sold.
You never know....

Love the car, not so much the owner.
I'm sure we would welcome the new owner properly.
Unless he turned out to be another (@&$#*¥£€)!
