Looking at purchasing a Superformance
Looking at purchasing a 2002 Superformance with a 460, here is the link, any thoughts or does anyone know the car?

Nice looking car. I see it wears a Bondurant emblem. I know Bob used to run them at his track, but I thought they were all small blocks. Maybe I'm wrong. Do you know the SPF chassis number?

Nice looking car. Take a look at http://www.cobracountry.com/ to see what other similar cars are selling for.

Pretty pricey considering the car is almost 7 years old. I don't know if Kassabian Motors owns the car or it's on consignment. Either way, they're padding the price. On the positive side, it's already got an SB100 exemption. Keep a close eye on Cobra Country, eBay,and here on CC as there are other SB100 cars for sale.
Oh yeah...drive some cars to make sure it's exactly what you want. Good luck with your search! |
SPF for sale
|
If I were spending that kind of money I would want a brandy new one. New engine, new brakes, new clutch, new transmission, new everything and my choice of colors. Plus it's guaranteed. I would probably go with a Roush Windsor stroker with tons of HP and a 2 year guarantee.
But that's me. Bob |
That's a nice looking SPF. You need the car number to tracking down history, you could probably call them and get the CSP#### from the plate on the firewall. Looks well cared for, but only guessing based on photos. They have drilled some holes in the dash for that plaque, and I notice the Goodyear Eagle GTIIs are still on it... if those are original to the car, they probably have lots of tread life left but are at or near end-of-safe-life time wise. Mine is also a 2002 and the Goodyears were all date coded 2000 and 2001, so... A couple of the gauges are interesting, they have changed usual locations like for the ammeter and they are Smiths apparently but have different appearances... They have changed gas tanks and disrupted trunk space... other details would need up close and personal inspection, maybe somebody in that area? Good luck :3DSMILE::3DSMILE:

No reflection on Kassabian Motors or this Cobra..
Why buy a 2002 Cobra with 6500 miles... I would suggest you look into Keith Craft's offer of a new Cobra in your choice of color and extras for around $58,000 and it would have a 2 year 24,000 mile warranty. |

-Dean #747 P.S. Whether or not you buy new or used, there are tremendous values to be found out there. It will only become more of a buyer's market once we get into '09 and the Great Recession is in true full swing. I used to think that a good, well-taken care of SPF was always worth mid $40's. Not any longer. :( |

And miss the BAR ref blaming the computer for being down and unplugging it and rebooting it 2-3 times. Oh, and the CHP mssing a box on the VIN form and having to go back and get that box checked. Or, the DMV mixing up your address and sequence number with another person's and then waiting six weeks to actually get a corrected certificate, which is sent to the wrong address and then, after 2-3 tries at a corrected certificate, the delivery driver who has to track you down by calling the person who's personal info is on the delivery tag, but with the corrected certificate inside the envelope that has the wrong address. Come on, what fun you'll miss. **):LOL::rolleyes: |

Oh, did I forget to mention that buying a car with the SB100 registration is preferable. ;) |
Be Patient
There are alot of nice Cobras for sale now. I just purchased a nice Backdraft Cobra off Ebay...two years old with 2000 miles, 427R Roush engine and all the goodies for much less than the one your looking at. It's hard to be patient, could of probably gotten mine for less if I had been more patient. oh well, the President said to spend money, it is good for the economy...Good luck and happy hunting.

What's with the fuel filler hose coming into the tank in the middle of the trunk?
|
I would get the Superformance Number SP0xxxx and do more checking. I have not seen a Superformance with that kind of setup in the trunk. Your going need the full use of the trunk and this one is not use able. My advise is PASS on this one and look for another one. Several nice one on "cobracountry.com". If you would like to discuss a Superformance in more detail, send me an PM with your number and I'll call you.
