mattr762: I think you are looking at the "list" in the wrong way. You MAY find a $25k Cobra with leather, but a late-model 302 with that big, honkin' FI unit on top of the engine, drum brakes at the rear, and maybe an automatic. Vinyl or leather should be the least of your concerns, as that is the easiest and cheapest to replace. Probably a realistic outlook to buy a Cobra is:
1. Price. How much can you spend?
2. Build it yourself and wait 'til you do, or buy a complete Cobra, and drive right away.
3. Registration in your state. Okla may be easier than Calif.
4. Use of the car. What are you gonna do with your Cobra?Carshows, daily driver/weekend toy, racing, drag stripping.
5. Originality. Does it matter to YOU? Round or rectangular frame, original gauges and layout, 15" or 17" wheels, Toploader, Tremec, or auto.
Look at the Cobras for sale on Cobra Country. Get an idea what you want to do, and how much you can afford. We actually need MORE information from you, so we can better help you out. Good luck!
