I LOST my COBRA!!!

[Jim Barnett]

Well, after having a wisdom tooth and the tooth next to it pulled Thursday afternoon, I THOUGHT I couldn't be in any more pain than that. WRONG!!! Thursday night, while I could hardly TALK, the guys that sold me my Classic Roadster Cobra replica called me and told me that I had to RETURN the car to them because it had been registered in the glorious sad state of California ILLEGALLY when it was first registered years ago as a 1965 Ford and that I would MOST LIKELY get a RECALL NOTICE for the supposedly LEGAL CA title in the next few months (something the finance company would NOT take kindly to very much - I partially financed $17.5K of the car's purchase price). They were very apologetic about the whole matter (they LOST 6 cars from their store inventory, several of which were on consignment, including a REAL NICE "built" $40K cobra replica that is headed back to Nevada today - MY cobra is being shipped to Arizona today for sale out of CA!!) and they returned all my purchase price money, BUT now I have a LOT of new stuff that I bought specific to a Classic Roadster from Don and Pete (thank goodness that I had only put the Moto-Lita steering wheel on). IF anyone would be interested in buying my new Stainless Steel Rollbar (unpolished as I received it) AND the Bezel Kit, please let me know. I also have a Custom Dash and the cover kit and the LeCarrera 4 spoke Steering wheel (black padded rim - NICE) with Chevy column adapter/horn adapter to sell and a new assembly manual for a CR. I am SO PISSED right now that I can hardly stand it. I loved that little car. It was without question the MOST FUN CAR that I have EVER OWNED (even though I only had it for a couple of months!!). I AM going to GET ME ANOTHER Cobra replica as soon as I can find one in my price range, BUT I DOUBT that I'll find one for the great price that I paid for the CR (it SURE was a good deal as far as I'm concerned). Guess I may have to sell the Hemi after all( TOTAL BUMMER!!!
