I'm not sure why other than he didn't think it ran well with original carb. My Cobra doesn't roll smoothly either and probably needs carb adjustment. If you can get the price below $60k you are doing very well on the price. There is no way you will get this Cobra in the low $50s, unless you find a very distressed situation. How long do you want to wait? April weather is getting pretty nice for a drive! Oh yeah, the odometer... As I was packing my new Cobra on the transport truck, the seller mentioned it was on the 3rd speedo because it kept bouncing. It still bounced and the speed was reading about 20% low! Don't get too excited about the low miles.... you never really know on these beauties!

For starters I love the 427R engine and if tuned they run cool and are a very good street engine. I am helping a buddy sale his SPF and have put a few miles on it and the engine pulls like a freight train from 1500 to 6000 RPM. It has as much power as my stroker 501 with 600 Ft lbs of TQ. As for price....If you like red with silver I have the best deal on a low mileage SPF with a 427R anywhere! The car is basically brand new with 450 miles. PM me for details or see pics on Cobra Country. My buddy is the original owner and had no time to drive it and has a touch over $70k into it. The car can be purchased for $51k, no joke!
