Potential first Cobra
Posted: Sat Apr 29, 2017 6:17 pm
Ran across a Teal/Leather for sale here locally with 102k miles. Its not on the registry from what I can see (175415 are the last 6 of the VIN). Guy claims he's the 3rd owner and dumped a bunch of money into it recently (fresh paint, misc. weatherstrip, headliner, exhaust, gears, radiator, headlights, etc) i.e. within the past 2 years.
Pictures look like its in good shape, but it almost sounds too good to be true. He's asking $15k. Even with all the work done, is that too much for a >100k mi car with mods and no factory parts to replace or does that not typically matter?
I've only ever owned an 87GT vert and a 91LX coupe, so all the Cobra shopping is new to me.
I'm looking for a weekend hobby car and a fair weather driver, potentially even something to do the Power Tour in. I plan to mod it a little, but not much, and anything I replace I would be keeping the factory part.
