Lime Green SPF Roller on Cobra Country
I saw this car for sale on Cobra Country. The guy actually has two rollers for sale at $29,500 (From the ad: "I acquired these two Cobras in settlement of a civil suit, and thus have no interest in keeping them.")
I have to believe that this was a special order car...but you never know if some mad scientist at the factory sold someone on the idea that the color would be a hit. :)
Maybe Patron needs a second Cobra. :D

Needs a set of wide white side walls and some shag carpet ;)
Would I buy it if it was 20K, absolutely, as it would give me room to repaint it something else........

Also looks like a flat/matte paint. Does it glow in the dark too? It looks like the color of those "glow sticks".

Buyers pay a premium for early 70's Porsches and musclecars, such as the Mopars, with bright colors like that SPF. :)

I was thinking that someone with a paint shop or access to one would offer him $25K. $20K is a stretch goal, but the guy is looking to cash these out probably sooner than later. Wouldn't hurt to tender an offer and see if he bites. If he doesn't, at least he knows he has one offer to go back to if no one else steps up. Cash is King in this economy. If he received these in a settlement, he would be hard-pressed to take a low ball offer and just move on. |

Knowing what it takes to completely disassemble a car as this, properly prep it, shoot, then wet sand and buff a car like this I would be losing money at 25K vs buying a roller SPF in the color of my choice. If it makes sense, great, if the numbers don't work, then why bother........Then again, lime green is not something you see every day when it comes to a Cobra ;)

I missed beating you up on your senseless babble. But, quite honestly, it got old having a battle of whits with an unarmed person. Plus I have a real life and have been on vacation this week just messing around with the free Wifi this resort has thrown at me. I will return to my regularly scheduled programming next week so that you can return to your pompous azz self (oh wait, your earlier remark already placed you there). You mean all this time has passed and the mods haven't finally figured out why a fork-tongued loser like yourself should still have access privileges? I'm a bit disappointed.
I hope the seller of this lime SPF gets his money out of it. And I totally agree with Bill on the costs to re-do it right and still flip it for a few thousand. Bill, I would offer him $20K and see if he takes it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. |

If my faith and prayers toward him and his family haven't been considered, then I'm guilty as charged, Patrick. I lost count of the Cobra comrads that I have helped monetarily over the years...we are an army of many.
And laying swords down can't be bartered for. You either want it or you don't. Thank you for being honest and telling everyone exactly how you feel. :( |
