CowtownCobra,
An observation on "some" replica Cobras.... I've driven some (lower-quality or not well-built) used cars for friends that were looking to buy one for less. It seems if they shake, rattle, or feel unsafe this is at least one reason people won't drive them far... Then you get people that feel they have too much money in the car, and just wont drive it for fear of damaging it, or too afraid they might chip the paint, blow the 427 motor, etc - whatever; just scared. Seen others that are uncomfortable not knowing much about the mechanics of their car, or how it went together... then they encounter a problem or failure, ... freak out and sell it to buy a vette, porsche, Viper or something. I had to sell my last car with low miles due to a bad market/job contract situation at the time, but later recovered and built the second. But 200 miles, yeah, thats low...hardly enough to shake down the car and break it in. Hard to say... so many reasons people sell.
