From all the above replies, it is apparent that peoples dreams are different. Some want the building experience; locked in a shed for several years before final completion, because they love the challenge and may not even be true Cobra enthusiasts. Some who are Cobraphiles and just want to "own and drive", aren't a fussy as how they "get".

Ask yourself which one you are. Going by your post I suggest you aren't so passionate for the build experience. So buying and personalising gets you involed quicker, but also allows you to work on it yourself through upgrades or personalisation. Some on here make the build and compliance look easy, but if your not cut out for it, you may find yourself a statistic as Treeve mentioned.

Guys who want a GT Falcon or Monaro only have this option, and they don't get hung up on not being able to say "I built it", there just as happy saying "It's mine now"

There is a variety of types out there now for sale, from old school to new generation, but also some junk, so just be wise and do some homework.
