But, if any of you find a deal that one can't pass up on a cobra I'd like someone to let me know about it. I'm at the midlife crisis age of 45. Live in the Palm Springs of Washington (Yakima) I want a 66-67 GTO convertible (dreaming on) 70 Mustang GT convertible, 70 442 convertible 2005 Mustang GT convertible or a Snake. I'm 6'4" and 240lbs so I'd need a snake with an extended footwell. I'm not picky auto or stick....my wife would prefer auto. I'm not a show car kind of guy so if it's got dings or scratches that's ok cause I'm going to drive it and love driving it rather than keep a show piece in the garage. So, if you hear of one coming up in the next few months let me know... But I have to have one by June 2007 for my 30th High School reunion....Like I said...it's that midlife thing....I won't buy a Harley cause you don't live long on one.

Scott, you shameless hussy! The guy seems to have an interest in lumber and you post a picture of your silver woody! Could be a match made in heaven!

Badhabit, you should take a look at Scott's car.

It might be just the match...No. 1 thing is do I fit into the drivers seat! Next is what motor and how much? It is a fine looking cobra. With that said, I am by no means someone who knows "cobras" Heck, if I had the coin I'd have an original.

I unfortunately need to remodel my house and need to sell my rig. Click on the Camera Icon by my user Id for pics. It's the real car, so is the model. Vrooom, Vrooom. My neighbor is a professional photographer and used the car and model for her portfolio. It's a 2002 FFR, with drop down wheel well and adjustable seat. I used to live on Queen Avenue and work at KNDO. Viva Yakima!

Thanks for the reply Dan, another Yakamaniac......and one with a cobra...oh no....So, when do you start the remodel? I guess I need to know some more about the snake...302 I read, auto or stick, how many miles on the motor. Was it from a donor car? How much are you looking to get out of your car? (you can pm me the price if you want)

When I was in the Army in 70,71,72 I was stationed at Ft Lewis. We would spend some time at the Firing Center each year. I also hunted Deer & Elk around Yakima. Nice area!
Welcome.

P.S. Why not order a CSX Shelby roller? er..........no wait, you had better read up on that one first!
