If it was more than 15 years ago, have you thought about trying to sell it in Canada?
Do you have some government-issued paperwork -- ideally a state title showing it as a "1988 Cobra kit" or something like that -- to prove its age to Canada Customs?
It's not a big Cobra market up here in the Great White North, but there is a dearth of high-quality replicas like ERAs. You might find stronger prices up here than down in the U.S., where these cars are relatively plentiful.
Also, what channels are you using to promote the car in the U.S., besides Club Cobra? Are you bringing it 'round to car shows with a big "For Sale" sign on it? You might be able to get people more excited about it if they can see (and hear) it in person.
Food for thought...

Finished and initially titled in January of 1988 in Florida, but retitled per PA state regulations three years ago (no year listed on the title,emissions excempt). Not sure how Canada would treat it at the border, I would suggest any Canadian buyer do their own due diligence before purchasing the car.
