Hi Boxhead
Nice ride. I sent u a message Cheers |
Offered to buy the yellow cobra in the pics
But doesn't want to sell So looks like I'll just get 66 ragtop vette |
The old saying
Money talks Bull**** walks Exactly |
Box, I'm glad you're keeping the Cobra.
|
theres always plenty of cobras for sale on car sales outback keep your eye on there .i was looking at buying one about 12 months ago looked at a few talked to a few sellers but i couldnt find at the time what i had in mind so ive decided to bite the bullet and build a pace cobra . dont be in a rush the right car will turn up sooner or later .

Hi outback
How long have you been out at Jabiru? You working for the mine? |
Used to be an eng at the mine
Do work out at remote communities And run a few hunting safaris when i feel like it |
As I said at the start, It is a love hate relationship, at the moment it is love, so not really for sale.
Yes you did offer the money I thought it was worth, and I was caught on the backfoot as I wasn't really expecting that (considering you haven't seen it yet). After talking with other sellers of the same brand of vehicle I was advised the price was way too low (unless selling to get out of a pickle). I did some pricing up to replace it with either a PACE kit or a Dodge SuperBee. The prices certainly have gone up since I built mine. So thank you for the offer. |
Don't kid urself mate
U gave a price . I accepted and u backpedaled. Pretty ordinary And as far as thinking ur car is worth more money .have a look at carsales. Theres a ****load out there that aren't selling. Things are only worth what people are prepared to pay for them .so don't get confused. I have owned collections of very rare vettes . High dollar cars are getting harder to move . Up here in the NT especially And when u start getting up in the $90k up area . U can get a lot of cars .Z06,s Vipers. etc etc that do the job as good of not better. And being complianced are easier to move around the country anyway good luck withit all |
Outback.
If Boxhead doesn't want to sell his car to you then that is his choice. You said there are plenty of other cars out there then go buy one of those mate.. Or maybe you should stick with your vettes since they do the job better !! |
What .are you his boyfriend or something
Mind ur business I dropped it yesterday. Not interested in his car any longer Just saying my bit in relation to the last post. Its a free world . Allowed our opinions . stating the facts never said anyone's car was no good. Their all great in their own way . Enough said on the subject Moving on |
Really..
By all means move on !!:LOL: |
You're not going to make too many friends on here with that kind of attitude.
As for values it's a tricky subject. Dave's car is a CR which is considered by many to be one of the better quality replicas. If you want to buy a turn key car from CR I believe it's up in the $120K range. To bring Dave's car up to that level it just needs paint so add another $10K-$15K for a pro paint job. I can understand Dave's backpedal. A lot who have built Cobras will be thinking just about the cost in materials they have put into the car and not factoring in the labor etc. Replacement cost is a rude shock when you look at having a shop build the same car you've built yourself. Cheers |

Just putting it out there for those misguided souls. Enjoy |
Hi Outback, not sure why you are so angry, as I said in my first post on this thread, the car isn't really for sale at this time.
In our phone conversation I said the same thing numerous times. And even tried to advise you what to do, what to look for and who to talk with at MVR to buy a car interstate and comply in NT. you asked what sort of money I would want, I said a number and you agreed to it, but again I point out I said numerous times it wasn't for sale. Not everything can just be bought. |
Boxhead
Dave, Good to hear your keeping the Cobra. I agree the prices on quality cars has certainly improved and it's quite a surprise to see what it costs to replace it. Luckily the guy moved onto another marque and hopefully another site. Must be a fried from the sun and heat in his area.. |
