Well folks after nearly 6 weeks after telling the seller I'd buy their Shell Valley cobra (2003 kit) and after 4 weeks after physically seeing the car, it looks like things are finally moving. There was a hang up but it looks like I'll complete the transaction this week. The car is being transported on an open carrier to my house. I'm so excited I can hardly work and for the past several weeks have spent daily on the iPad procuring unnecessary items for the car. Had had a blast.
Got cling on racing numbers for hood/trunk and doors (check), Got tons of vintage racing stickers/decals (check), got Cobra Powered by Ford valve covers (check), got remote
oil cooler kit (check). Got genuine made in the UK Cobra key fob (check) (good for 10HP and 5 mph top end). Just need the Marlboros, white T-shirt, cuffed jeans and James Dean look (<last part going to be tough).
Here's a pic the seller took.
