Buyer needs help on Long Island

Pat Martin · #1 (**permalink**) 09-04-2003, 07:40 PM

I am snakebitten in San Diego and interested in a Cobra for sale on Long Island.

Would love to get advice on how to arrange to have someone check this car out for me prior sealing a deal. Is there a Cobra "clubber" on Long Island who would like to take a test drive at my expense? How about a Cobra builder or dealer willing to take a look at the car for a price?

THX for any and all input.

I've been waiting 40 years for this and it's time to take the plunge.

I'll be talking to Ron tomorrow to see if we can come up with a plan.

I'm a new member to the club (just signed up today) and am already pleased with the response. HELLO WORLD :-))

there are usually 2 or 3 FE powered ERA Cobras On any given Saturday as well as 4 or 5 superformance Cobras. I'll be glad to take you for a ride in my CSX.
HRE will have a couple of 289 fiberglass cars on hand as well as an original csx3--- that he is restoring. HRE is also a CAV gt40 distributor. So there is not a lack of hot cars, you won't be dissapionted.
