Yes, it's a bargain...

Yes, but that's not as crazy as you might think. The car is indeed a "bargain" because, IMO, it can not be replicated for $115k. Now, a lot of folks might not look twice at an automatic transmission Cobra. But, having said that, there are quite a few men out there that, for various reasons, can not drive a Cobra with a stick. Then, if you add to that the engine, customizations, computer controls. roll bar, one-off pedal config, etc. and tally all that up -- if that is the configuration that you've always wanted -- this car is a steal for you. Now I followed his build pretty closely because I found it to be interesting. If someone else was following the build because it was exactly what they had always wanted to do, then GP1482's phone will be ringing this week. And I really hope it does. Even though I always had my misgivings about this entire build, there is a soft spot in my heart for Tinny and his whole plight. I'd really like to see that car land in the hands of an owner that will enjoy it, run it hard, and post some good-time stories about it all. |
