John, I personally chose a 700 series car because it had all the nicer upgrades one would want: lowered driver's footwell, 4 wheel Wilwood disc brakes, cool air vents for both footboxes, chrome roll bar. I eventually swapped out the factory AVO coilovers for the Bilsteins and the car rides so much better. Also, the "older" windscreens are now being used on the new "Shelby" version of the Cobra, so availability is no longer a problem. Finally, with the right offsets you can still squeeze a lot of tire under the wheelwells (some report 315s, others claim to fit 335s). As for me, I plan to install MT drag radials (325/50-15s) and won't have any clearance issues (with my already modified inner hubs and soon-to-be one inch stretched inner flanges). Under $45K is still a good value if the rest of the car has been well taken care of.
