Considering buying a Cobra - Page 3

I bought my BDR Cobra in May of 2020 and have never regretted a single day. I'm the second owner of this 2011 build. Came with a stroked 351W (392 CID) - more than enough power (420 HP). Nothing like it - such a visceral feeling!

Here: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...lby-427-cobra/ I did not see an ERA # on the ad, but the dates on it all put it right around mine. There's a reasonably big difference though occurring with chassis #731 and forward. I think I've seen that car before, but I just can't place it. I might have seen it when I was up there visiting.

Hmmm, I wonder if it was this guy, parked in front of me.

Looks like Chassis #693 ...Maybe built around 2006-2007ish ?

This forum is truly amazing that someone posts a picture of a car built 14 years ago, and someone has a random photo of that very car as a background shot. Makes me think Joe Dirt could have posted his Grand Canyon photo here to find his parents!!!

I am very curious what #693 goes for. I would have bid had I not just put a deposit on a CSX car from around the same period. I am just waiting for seller/dealer to get it off MSO and onto NY Registration (ugggh). I have owned 5 replica cobras, and never had to deal with the MSO bs because I always bought cars with a title or registration. I think #693 should be a 65k car in the spring. I am surprised that the 289 ERA on BAT is up to 50k already as it looks a bit battle scarred. Not taking anything away from it but it looks like it was a track car. The side pipes look like they were under water and they're not level with the chassis. The red car looks very clean. Although it's weird that the seller brought it to a consignment shop in FL only to list it on BAT, lots of middlemen.
