woud cost me to get rid of her i could easily buy an original Cobra :-/

For anyone that wants a Cobra that can cruise all day, hill climb, tarmac rally or whatever this is the car for you.....She is fantastic,

She has run in four Targa Tasmania's and the Cannonball run, since then it has had a relativley quite life....

More info on the car as requested: It is a python, ( not a Crown chassis as some of you suspected) built by George in the early 90's, he also inspected the car before I purchased it, and despite some faults that I have subsequently fixed gave it the all ok......I have spent a small fortune on the car over the past year or two, rebuilding the suspension, steering, brakes, new ADR seats, wind screen lots of other bitsnpieces. It drives beautifully and is very quick if you can keep up with it! (i cant) It has passed a full transprot inspection here and has been recently issed Tassie rego - With working stainless side pipes.......

She runes a EB GT Windsor (was a crate motor) and a Tickford modified auto box (safety measures removed, shift like a manual). She runs a Jag rear end with 3:3 LSD (rebuilt recently). The car has a set of replica Halibrands in addition to the Simmons that are currently on it, I also have a toploader (with bell housing) to go with it at extra cost.... It is currently reg in Tas, but has a history of reg in Vic and NSW.

The log book has been lost and I will be requesting a re-isued copy soon, the car is on the CAMS register so this is not a problem.


She is for sale at 40k...

cheers

mike

No dramas at all Mike,no apologies neccessary, I know how these thing can be. I'll let the lads no about Brian if I happen to be out or just pass on some detail when you have it regarding timing.
Goodluck with the "spousal adjusting", this is a far harder task to complete than building a car !!

Cheers
Chris

Tell the missus that the cobra is an investment...no matter what happens with economy, fuel or future transport a Cobra will still fetch a motsa. real or not.
Say its for the retirement.

Thanks Chris - that is fabulous......My brother should have picked it up already or if not will do in the very near future...

Still no luck with the spousal adjustments.......have recieved plenty of calls about the car.....


it's now in the Trading Pose, here is the link... http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automo...kToResult=true
