That's what I'm talking about. If you get one finished but that was home-assembled kit, then be cautious and get it carefully inspected to be sure the assembly - body/frame and the power train - was done well. Otherwise they become a money pit that would have been better spent on getting one of the higher end cars.

And I assume you are aware that any Cobra is a tinkerer's dream (or nightmare, depending on which side of the fence you sit). But then that is probably true of any 60s vintage car these days, even a Mustang.
