LA Exotic Cobra for sale in San Diego

[Jim Barnett]

Well, it's come to me that I need something a little more practical and since I rarely drive my LAE Cobra, I've decided to sell it. I bought the car from Armond at California Cobra last March and his crew has done extensive maintenance and modifications to it, I am NOT trying to MAKE MONEY on the car. I just want what I've got invested in it so I can buy something a little more practical. The car deserves a good home and someone who will actually drive it more. Here's the spec sheet info I got from Armond when I bought it:

LA Exotic kit car
Vehicle ID Number: C0585170
351 Cleveland
Engine had a high performance cam
Transmission is a T-5 five speed
9" shortened rear end
PS Engineering wheels
Black Trim
Vintage gauges (I bought and installed these with a new dash)
Guardsman Blue with White Stripes
Ceramic coated headers and side pipes
Rack and Pinion steering
Four wheel power assisted disc brakes
Chrome roll bar
Tonneau cover
Carpeted trunk
Lakewood scatter shield

I also added a wood steering wheel, visors, and wind wings.

New Interstate battery and Hi-torque starter installed 4/21/06

Oh yes: SB100 Registered as an SPCN in California (sticker on firewall)

I'm asking $38,000 (OBO) which is what I've invested in the car to date (original cost of car plus all the extra stuff I bought and the modifications Armond did: i.e. rewire, new dash, new shifter, new hydraulic clutch, re-plumbing the gas tank, install front and rear chrome hoops/bumpers, etc.) I also have a full car cover. Car is scary fast. I was told by the original owner who had a professional mechanic assemble the car for him, that the 351 engine came out of a Pantera and was "freshened up" prior to install. IF you are interested, email me a PM and I can send pics. THANKS!!
