Appraising a 289 Cobra Replica
At 81 years of age I have to confront the unpleasant reality of disposing my pride and joy in the coming years. The executor of my will needs a contact for determining the value of my car when I'm gone. I live in the Portland, Oregon area.
The car is a very accurate 289 that was built about 20 years ago. The body and frame were supplied by JCF in Coos Bay, Oregon and I completed the build in about two years. Painting, upholstery, engine, trans., and Jag rear work was done by professionals to a very high standard.
I would like suggestions of a qualified person who could appraise the car, preferably in the Portland area and I would appreciate any thoughts you might have.
The car has been shown at the Forest Grove Concourse in the Portland area a few times and judged twice. Both times it won its class, once with 100 pts. The other time, which is when the photo was taken, it rained for the first time in show history (reason for the top up) and we never got the score, but a judge implied to me that it was "perfect". Despite being shown I don't consider it a trailer queen and drive it often, albeit carefully.
