As I have stated here before, I personally am not into wrapper cars, I want to be able to drive them some, but understand the concept, and like seeing wrapper cars preserved as such. You have a good outlook and plan.

The "new" Cobra will be kept new, didn't mean to offend anyone. I had a 79 Indy Pace with 66 miles and only put 1 mile on that one in 2 years before I sold it to buy a 67 GT fastback.
Agreed! Enjoy the hunt! A lot of us do
X2 the real fun hunting the perfect car down...

24 years is a long time to wait. You may want to expand your search to cars with a little more than 100 miles so you're not waiting another 24.

Yea that was nuts he actually chopped up the original exhaust and put flow masters on it, Tint, if I recall correctly he had a change of heart shortly after purchasing it and wanted to sell it. He listed it and was trying to get his money out of it but it wouldn't sell. It was classic case of TAG you are it. So then he said screw it I will just drive it. Which was dumb imo. You buy one with that low of miles you dont make it a daily. Too many 93's with 30k plus miles to do that with that are still mint.
