Just a suggestion....
That's why I said I would prefer a "no stories" car. A lot of variables there. If I were buying a '62 Ferrari California Spyder, '69 Camaro Z28, '70 Cuda Convertible or a '67 435 Corvette, then I may have to buy a car with a story, but we're talking about an SPF Cobra, which you can still buy brand new or even buy one of the other half-dozen more or less on the market. Also, is the price compelling on this car with a story? Nope. $41K is not compelling to ME. You cannot evaluate the car in a vacuum, and that is why I said I prefer a car without a story.

Lastly, if you were referring to me, I never used the word "wreck."
