It was purchased from Heritage Hot Rods out of Chicago, has a fiberglass body in good shape and a big block engine. I am told the undercarriage looks great. The vehicle was driven for many years and has about 14,000 miles on it. Looking for a range one might expect that a Cobra like this would sell for. Thanking you in advance for any help on this.

As already stated in the first response, pictures are the first way to identify the manufacturer of the kit in question. They are not all the same, and value will depend on more factors than I can post here. So one step at a time, first we deal with identifying the kit, then we can work on casting numbers for the block, heads, etc of the engine, then suspension so we can try to figure out what you have on your hands.
As for additional questions, does the car have a solid rear end, or is it an independent rear suspension, bolt on wheels, or knock off wheels, single roll bar, or dual roll bars, dash gauges, automatic or manual transmission. Again, all basics so we can figure out if you have a pile of shiny parts worth $5,000 or more. Don't get your hopes up at this point, that way, you will be less disappointed if it turns out to be a turd.
