It's not like I'm always right, sometimes I open mouth and insert foot.

I don't put much stock in the $91K bid, e-bay is a very fickle thing. Filled with "bargain hunters". Plus, no doubt it's a buyers market right now.

Kind of surprising though. Even in a "down market" some things tend to remain pretty stable. In the Cobra market, SAI I think would be such a car. And a well done ERA won't fall "that much".

A Cobra with a Chevy motor, an auto trans and "wierd" wheels wouldn't stand a chance at a decent re-sale price in todays market. Then again, a car like that is hard to sell on a GOOD day, lol.

As I see it there are one of TWO things that are EVERYTHING when it comes to selling a Cobra.

#1 As DV put it, "Flash" is one. It's got to "look" good. Needs some crhome or polished something, good paint, a stripe, some dress up for the motor,,,,,some "flash".

OR

#2. "Period correctness". No need flash with this one, just accurate detail.

You want good re-sale, you better have #1 or #2.
