Interior needs replacing? No big deal, go to NAPA, buy some universal auto carpet and a razor knife and get to work. Piece of cake. Have a local upholster make you a shift cover boot (that cost me $25 on Oahu). Steering wheel funky? Pep Boys can handle that. Seats look funny? Pick up some seat covers while your there.

$15,000 is going to be VERY hard to beat price wise and it runs! Go for it. DO NOT start dumping money into the car!!!! DO use NAPA, Pep Boys, etc. and keep the expense at rock bottom. Drive the car for awhile, see if you like Cobra's, not everybody does. For some, for various reasons, they just don't work out. When it's time to sell you stand an excellent chance of getting your money back, if you haven't gone nuts and spent a small fortune "restoring it". Heck with that, a rattle can of paint, some duct tape, a little elbow grease and your in!

Now get the money and go buy the car. I did!! I bought my first Cobra (low budget deal) out of Hilo, shipped it to Oahu. Loved the car, it was cheap, it was entry level and it let me know that me and Cobras are compatible. So I sold it (at a nice profit to boot) and now own a more accurate Cobra that I enjoy a ton. But you have to start somewhere first.

I can't tell, from looking at it what it might be, but the price is right, so who cares!
