I know the market really hasn't been set much this year, as its too early to try to sell anything without a top. Since its on my mind I figure I might as well ask before I forget.

What is making this year interesting is that its an election year so I don't know if that in itself is a terrible thing as I would figure many people are going to wait until the elections are over to made a decision on whether to loosen their belts, and spend money on non essentials, like a Cobra.

I'm even thinking that it may be even better to just wait until the elections are over, and try for next year. Of course that is going to be a gamble, and one I would have lost with Obongo getting elected the second time. [as in I would have never guessed that idiot would have gotten elected twice].

What do you guys who have experience selling these type of cars over the years think?
Depends on the quality of the build, and the quality of the parts used. The more customization the less chance of finding a buyer who wants exactly what you (or in this case your father) built.
