Holy buckets! I can't say that kind of opportunity has ever just "popped up" around me! Damnation, that's awesome! Looking forward to the pics, Jim. And good to know you've had some sort of Cobra issue. Without so much as a fine scratch on a black car, I was having my doubts.
Steve, hilarious email. I woke Amy up from a nap laughing, so you owe me.
Getting back to point,
Robert, I, too, bought a "pre-owned" Cobra. I found SPF#867 on an aged listed on Cobra Country and flew to Columbus, Ohio to inspect and drive it. 6 years old and 4900 miles on it. Bought it 4 days later after driving it 5 miles in 19 degree weather.
If/when you find a car that suits your fancy, PM folks you see on Club Cobra in that area. Believe me, somebody somewhere knows about that car and owner. Just root around a little, you'll find out if it's been taken care of or not and what kind of owner has it. This is a great bunch and love their cars, the monikor/legacy and those who take care of them. And don't love and call out those who don't.
