Thank you Patrickt, we have a meeting this Sat. with our interested parties (Club Members) and will discuss this.

As with everything else in life, a good majority of the cobra owner and builders have aged out, sold off their cars, or parked them in a garage, allowed to collect dust (right Rodknock) until such time either they, or their next of kin, decide to part with them. Others have found that owning the Cobra is still something to savor, yet have gone out and purchased that late model Mustang, Corvette, or Porsche to fill their need for speed, all while being bathed in the lap of luxury. Others have just given up on sharing their time behind the wheel, their tips and tricks, their heartaches and busted knuckles. Most who are left these days have already finished their cars, sure a few show up now and then to tell us about their builds, rebuilds, and restorations. Some show up looking for information because they are interested in buying or building a car, a few of them stick around, most get a shock to their system when they find the $5,500 "unfinished kit" they purchased will need another $30,000+++ to get on the road. Others stumble in after watching a Youtube video, or watching a movie with a Cobra in it....Again, not all stick around, and even if they do, they prefer to lurk, but not participate. The really funny part is, I see that with quite a few of the older regulars, they prefer to not post, but their user logs show they still check in once a day, week, or month....I've been here for over 22 years, and have seen the ups and downs, the good and the bad, the trolls, and then some, all in a cycle that will repeat itself time and time again.

Again, just my personal observations, no chips on my shoulder, no responsibility other than to be a member who chooses to do more good, than grief for the moderator to deal with on his not so always free time.

Either you get it now, or you do not, that is once again, a personal item I have no control over.

If you and your consortium can honestly and truthfully come up with something more than just a token insult of an offer, say $20k or more, then have your lawyers throw together a quick tender offer like letter and have them put it on their letterhead and have it delivered by courier to him at his home. I guaranty he'll read it. No one doesn't read a letter from a law firm that gets delivered by courier to their home. Then he'll either say "yes, no or maybe" and the game is on... or off, but at least you'll know. There you have it, and remember, "Fortune favors the bold." :cool:

Yep, exactly. That's basically my nuisance number. Anything below that I view as being nothing but a nuisance even if it's the true value of something.:cool:

I agree completely. But if he counters at $200k then they can take that next step. OTOH if he says "deal" then $20k is basically sofa-cushion money if you want the site. Even if the site throws off less than a grand NOI.:cool:

BTW, who was that old CC member with an 427 ERA, sold many years ago, who used to bust your a$$ here...

You, LeBron and Matt Damon must be big Crypto.com investors. :rolleyes:

Or, e) parked their polished arruminum Kirkham in their living room and,as it appreciates in value, like a Monet, Picasso or a Ferrari 246GTS, is gazed upon as such works of art. ;)

I still remember rsimones, who roughly 20 years ago, built his Kirkham for $127,000+ and then quickly turned around and sold it for $88,000 on eBay. All those threads of questions, and that final thread where he moaned and whined about owning his Cobra. Lots of good memories here on CC.

He's probably driving around a Tesla now. ::LOL:
