Average Age?

I'd been tracking Cobras for about 10 years, keeping up with who was making them, various stories about builds and haunting the manufacturer's web sites when they became available. Acquired a lot of product brochures over that period and always thought that "one day I'd really like to build one".
After putting if off for years (I'm now 62) my recent bypass surgery convinced me that I should really get off my a$$ and do something about it since I wasn't getting any younger. Put the skydiving on hold for a while and ordered my ERA in June. Given my schedule and other things eating up my time I decided on a turn-key even though I would probably take the same year that I'll spend waiting for Peter and his ERA elves to finish the car.
My last serious automotive endeavor was a 7 year research and development outing with a 72 240Z. I bought the car new and, when I sold it 7 years later got a thousand dollars more than I payed for it. Of course by that time the small block 8 making 400 bhp was only the most recent of the modifications that I'd made to it over the years. While I don't envision the same process for the Cobra I'm sure that there will be some tinkering with it.
