Ron,

These cars tend to not be the buy them and drive them sorts of vehicles you purchase from Detroit style manufacturers. Cobra replica's require / demand a higher level of mechanical awareness, skills and involvement on the part of the owners.

After a purchase (new) there is typically a period of time that is spent sorting things out to operate and drive correctly. Once you get through that phase there is a relatively regular maintenance regimen that is both car and driver driven and at least to some extent dependent on how you operate the vehicle.

The car's ownership experience is not even remotely similar to buying a performance sporty car (like a Corvette?) from a Detroit manufacturer. You will either be inexoribly drawn into learning how to and also maintaining your Cobra or you will be drawn into a service regimen where you have to locate reputable, experienced Cobra replica familiar shops that will do the work for you. The latter alternative is impressively expensive at best.
