I have owned my Cobra (SPO 1586)for 5 1/2 years (bought used). The seller was not very honest about the car in fact he lied like a rug. I replaced the engine, had the heater core rebuilt ( the a hole didn't have anti freeze in the car), replumbed the cooling lines, fuel lines , electrical systems and either replaced or repaired a number of other issues. Since then I have not had any problems and only replaced the rear shock mounts and got rid of the two
oil filter setup by replacing it with an Oberg filter. I probably have more into it versus buying a new roller and completing it but the car did have the California SB100 certification.
I don't drive it like I stole but don't baby it either. However I am always doing something , tightening nuts and bolts, tightening the bits that shake loose , etc. You have to realize this is not a Lexus but a pretty mean and raw car.
By the way this year I entered 4 car shows and came home with 4 trophies. As they say "This damn car is so wonderful you can't believe it"
