Thanks for the reply, do you think 10k is too little for me to get a decent cobra replica, obviously one that needs TLC, but at least runs and stuff?

I don't know, but it sure looks worth checking out (assuming it's not a SCAM)!!!! Could be a distress sale, but the ultra low price does leave me thinking 'scam', as in it may not be the true owners car. Are you buying a picture based on hope?
Excellent deal if it is what it says it is.

Too good to be true. I'd question whether its a scam. Does he really have a Cobra?
Contact Shell Valley about it and see if they can help.

There have been MANY such ultra low price Cobra ads on e-bay, and many of them 'busted' right here on CC. Usually a super nice car like a Shelby and a 'decent' price. This car seems 'almost reasonable' in it's specs for a 'decent price', could be the scammers are getting more sophisticated in targeting their market.

If you can't visit the car or at least have a friend or someone you trust see the car and examine the papers, title, etc. I would personally walk the other way. As De Niro said in the movie Ronin,"whenever there is doubt, there is no doubt"

Ask the seller to fax you a copy of the title. It "may" not be a scam. But at that low price, I'd have someone from the LV Cobra club check it out first.

Maybe this is a scam, sure, but would it be possible to buy a Shelby for around 10k, that is in decent working order?

Try emailing a question. You get the fact that the seller is on another ebay site and doesn't speak the language

To answer your question, no.....I don't think you could ever find a Cobra that cheap.

This is an obvious scam. The "preapproved bidders only" and stupidly low price are dead giveaways.

Get someone from a local car club to check it out. In answering your question, I do not think it possible to find a Cobra in working order for less than 10K. I do not know the going rate for a 390 crate engine but something ain't right.

AH HAH!!!! I missed the 'pre-approved' bidders thing, thats a CLASSIC technique when your pulling a e-bay scam. Looks VERY suspicious now!
Cheapest running Cobra I've seen (with a Ford motor) was an FFR for $17K, 'needs work'.  |

He also has no sales history. All the ffedback is from purchasing low price items to build up some feedback.

If you can't go purchase the car in person, don't even think about it!

I sent an email asking to be added to the 'pre-approved' list of bidders. I dont want the car, but I just like to screw with scammers.
I'm amazed, NO reply.... Gee, go figure!
