Tongue Pirate · #1 (**permalink**) 01-12-2003, 07:31 AM

I was thinking I might bid on the Hi Tech Cobra on ebay but I am concerend about the availability of suspention parts for a HiTech 289 car with transverse leaf spring. Maybe other parts aslo? Any help here would be appreciated!

Thanks!!!

Cobra Restorers has all the parts, then again , depending on what it goes for, why not just call the Kirkhams, get the whole package. Probably will save MAJOR headaches in the long run.

Mike Kenney of NOSMotorsports should have all the parts needed. Mike was involved with Hi-Tech in the past.

Cliff(the seller) told me that he has a "pile" of parts that are avalible for additional$$. I've got the current high bid, so back off or I'll knock that parrot off your shoulder!

That's not a Parrot, it's a vulture! Better not make him mad!

Hey, you two..... BOTH of you back off!!!!! I'm driving this from Arizona to the Fling this year. Nothing like setting a deadline, is there Hersh!

Thanks for trying to hold them off Craig..

I can see where this is headed. I'm gonna hold of
until thing get serious. To be honest, If this keeps up at this
rate the price won't be that far off from getting a Kirkham.
So I hope that some of these bidders realize the value and not get caught up in the frenzy.

Mr. Hersch, I was planning on staying at your place when I come to pickup my car. Can you go with me when I pick it up, I will need help picking the correct suspension bits.
TIA

edit: Mr. Hersh, I'm out at the 20K bid. If your nonoffer still doesn't stand, I won't stay with you next time I'm not in AZ.

Hey guys, I'm out at 20K. The guy told me he'd take 24.8K, buy it now. If the offer is still good I suggest those willing to go to 24.8K give Cliff a call. I bet this car gets up in the 27K-28K range(pure speculation/wild guess).
