I honestly don't think a Cobra is for you. Zero mechanical knowledge is a problem.

I would say the must haves on your list if you are going to go for it is a local dealer that does service, a Coyote or similar modern fuel injected engine.

I don't know the going rate but an older used Viper might be the ticket.

Good luck, don't rush into anything. Go for a test drive for sure. Hillbank is in CA have a road trip and visit them to drive some cars.
