I've heard some horror stories about trying to license Cobras bought in another state.
Thanks for the heads up and Yes- I've been browsing on cobracountry.com already! And I am aware of how important the SB-100 exemption is on these cars.

Unless they stuffed a Wankel or Electric motor, any mechanic should at least be able to give it a once over for mechanical intergrity.

Now take a deep breath and remember: it's really just another used car and you should treat the transaction accordingly. It's already a given it's a unique car, but these really are simple machines, so mechanically, very similar to any 1960's car. You can walk away from the deal and not have buyers remorse. TAKE YOUR TIME.

^^^ Yes, I went down to Dynamic Auto West yesterday and met with Dennis. He caught me up on a lot of things with SC related.

I plan to visit Denbeste Motors in Windsor next week as well. Trying to as patient as possible lolol
