Well I will throw my thoughts in as well, as this is just my experiences. Now Bill these are my first and honest opinions... When I first saw this I thought 427 "Tunnel Port" sweet! Then I saw the color and I was like "well OK" not so bad, then I saw the interior and I was like "man I just don't know". The biggest thing I've encountered with mine is "why didn't you paint it blue with white stripes?" and I just can't believe these comments (because their ALL blue with white stripes!!). Now , to each their own and you might find the "right" guy that just has to have all of these combo's. BUT, I think it's a little out of the "Cobra Norm" for most. I think, like others, changing the carpet to black would help a bunch, the tan carpet just looks faded and dirty to me. Get rid of the white letters on the tires unless they're billboards. The engine is really cool BUT it has a lot of miles on it and to most it doesn't offset the price in the car. The motor is probably more valuable for an old Nascar race car than a Cobra. I have the heads and intake so I know how sweet they are!

I myself think it's a great looking car, great engine, good price, BUT a little tired looking especially underneath( old pics you posted). The problem as you know is the market is way soft and big block Cobra's just are not pulling top dollar anymore. I wouldn't take anything less for than 45K for my car and I would think a 427 would pull another 10K to 15K BUT the ones I've seen selling are newer, cleaner, updated, AND the traditional Cobra colors.

I would take it off for while or list it elsewhere as it has probably gotten too much "negative ex poser" here. Not necessarily negative but too much attention that might send a prospect elsewhere. The best of luck and at least you have a nice car that you enjoy and can drive!! That's more than a lot of us in this hobby! Thanks, Matt
