Captain222,
I have seen Bill take unfinished cobra projects and/or used cobras, finish them or fix them up and resell them. He does not do that out of the goodness of his heart, he does it as a business to make money. So I think it is worth listening to his opinion on the ebay project you are considering.
Look at what you are getting for $8500 in the pictures in the eBay listing. Then compare that to what you get for $12990 for a FFR base kit.

The eBay listing does not look like a bargain to me.
Although maybe you are not looking for a bargain, maybe you like a challenge?
Actually, why don't you tell us what you are looking for in a cobra replica. A track car, a show car, a meticulously accurate replica of an original, a grocery getter, a project to work on in your garage on weekends for a few years? And how much do you want to spend? Usually if you answer those questions, you will get some useful advice from Bill and others.
