If it was mine:
Before doing anything else, I'd be checking every nut and bolt, every screw, every wire connection. Not saying anything bad about the prior owner, just being safety minded since I did not personally build the car.
After that:
Get rid of the Edlebrock carb, replacing it with a properly tuned 600cfm 04776C Holley
Replacing those Edelbrock valve covers
Proper Trigo 6 pin FIA style knock off rims
CLICK HERE 
Proper street tires
Second set of proper Hoosier radial slicks
Maybe add a heater/defroster
For the new owner, take things slow, pretend that you are driving on ice, small inputs, small corrections, driving a Cobra is a learning curve unlike anything else you have ever driven in your life. Don't respect it, it will try to kill you, respect it, and it will try to kill you. You'll have a smile on your face, and wind in your hair, what more can you ask for.
Enjoy the ride.
