I think what you can buy gunrack for you cant go wrong. Oh, it had some problems, these cars are so pathetically simple who cares. If you cant fix what wrong do not buy any. THEY ARE ALL JUNK REQUIRING CONTINOUS ADJUSTMENT AND MAINTENANCE. These are not gm,ford, toyotas, you will have more issues regardless of what you buy even it is the top of the line SPF, Kirkham, BDR in the first year than you would have had with any of your dailey drivers over their lifetime. The sweet thing about cobras as long as the engine does not throw a rod or the transmission does not trash a gear everything is incredibly cheap.

I even considered buying ole gunrack, I could have it sorted in month for under $500 mechanically. If I lived anywhere in the vicintiy of it I would have sorted for free.

The owner got caught up in a cluster fuk between KC of Plano and I forget the dallas dealer. Turns out i ended up with car from the same two, Jesus, I sorted 30 plus problems, only ones related to bdr was fuel level gauge, leaking headers to sidepipes (I sent him an excellent tailpipe expander which will solve the problem) flasher relay, speedo cable, engine was assembled by who knows who but they missed some key points but in the end I bet it has 30K miles on it now and was beat senseless. You get gunrack in the upper 20's you will NEVER LOOSE MONEY ON IT.

bottom line, I have had early bdr, spf, make i never figured out and worked on 6 including factory five, truth be known I have had as many issues if not more with the brand spanken new one I bought than any of the other ones!!!!!! I was covered for any issues on the new one but still using a warranty is a pain in the assssssssssssssssssssss, buy a discounted used one and no approval required.
