Thank you for replying. Thought I would get a great response.
If you paid 46k and your build is 7 years newer I wonder what the estimated depreciation is for a 2004 car with 9,000 miles. Hard to value these cars it seems.
How do you like the 392 and TKO500? Are you happy with your build and car? I posted two photos of the car I am looking at.

EXTREEEEEEMLY happy with my BDR. BDR builds a quality car and I have been very pleased with the performance and attention to detail. The 392 works respectfully well and with the 430HP, that's a lot of 'oooomph' for a 2300 lb car. I have the T5 tranny and the shifting is very smooth.
My ONLY complaint about the car is the 9qt oil pan. It sits very low, affording me only 2 1/2" of ground clearance. I've already scraped it twice which resulted in small holes both times. I'm in the process of swapping out the pan with a smaller volume pan that will give me an additional 1 1/2" of ground clearance
Have you had the opportunity to test drive a Cobra yet? It is definitely a different driving experience - stiff ride, unlike a luxury sports car. But it is fun as hell. And the attention these cars get is unbelievable. Thumbs up everywhere I go.
I would hesitate to estimate as to what the car you are looking at is worth, but it appears to have been well maintained. What is the seller asking?
Apologies for the sideways photo. Everytime I upload a photo, it gets rotated. |

Yeah, I actually drove the one I am looking to buy. Incredible driving experience really. I am an odd ball... 38 years old and still like the nostalgia of the car and to me it looks really amazing. I don't get hopped up on the latest and greatest, but do like a reliable car and it seems that is the reputation of Backdraft racing Cobras from what I have read. I just wonder the value of a 16 year old built. Car looks like a 2 year old build inside and out with nice shiny paint and clean interior.
Serpent, with the 392 do you run 91 or 93 octane ?

Here in the Republic of California, 91 octane is the highest available. No problems whatsoever with engine performance on that grade of gas.
Hows the tread on the tires? Still lots leff? Is the tread wear on the front tires even and symmetrical? have you had an opportunity to inspect the underside of the car? Check for any fluid leaks? Scrapes on the oil pan? 
What is the asking price on the car? |

Have you checked out the Cobra Country website? There is a litany of various Cobras (sold and un-sold) that might be able to give you a little more background as to pricing. Only private party listings on this website. No dealers. Although you may find some PP sellers asking Dealer level prices.

obx, I have sent two responses but for some reason, they are not showing up in my 'sent' box. Can you check to see if you have received them? |
