Early Superformance

[Jim Vander Wal]

To add to this and I forgot to respond to the original question.

The A-Arms have been essentially the same at least as far as I know. The spindles, coil-overs, sway bars have all changed over the years but can be upgraded if desired. Cobra Valley offers ball joints, sway bars and coil-overs.

There's also the upper rear shock mount that Cobra Valley offers that is a recommended change for strength and safety.

There shouldn't be a significant difference in handling from an early car to the later ones, component dependent of course.

Are these older cars holding there value .
Looking to buy one of the early Right Hand Drive Cobras . Cob 060 .

I can only speak for the German market, but holding value is a difficult thing - especially for Cobras. I assume the situation ist not complete different in the US. If you search for a classic car with a stable price I would propose a Porsche 911 or a Mercedes Benz 190SL or even a 67 Mustang Fastback 390 S-Code GT ... the last would be my second "fun" car...

Also RHD is not the best boundary condition if you speak about value - i have made the same experience -my COB011 is RHD, too.

But nevertheless as we say in Germany - every day an idiot wakes up - so, everything is possible if you will sell you car anytime in the future - the only thing you will then need is time.

SPF values hit bottom around 10 years. Prices do vary a bit with economic conditions. I purchased mine for 31K at height of last recession and Im sure the current market would support a higher value.

I don't want to misuse this thread, but I think it can be a fine opportunity to collect some more detailed information about early Superformance Cobras within the previously mentioned range up to car 100.

Some years ago Bill started another thread searching for other owners of early cars, but I think technical information to these early ones would be also of interest.

What do you think – would it be O.K. to use this thread – or would it be better to start a new one?

060 is the blue car with the automatic?
