MATT,

FOR THE MOST PART - IF YOU'VE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK - YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

BEAUTY, ORIGINALITY, COLOR CHOICES ARE ALL VERY SUBJECTIVE. IN FACT EVERYTHING ABOUT A COBRA IS SUBJECTIVE.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A 25K COBRA AND A 60K COBRA TO A LARGE EXTENT REPRESENTS THE "SUBJECTIVITY" OF THE OWNER/BUILDER.

IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO "YOU" MAKING A LIST OF THE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO "YOU". IF ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND SIZE IS IMPORTANT AND ORIGINALITY - TO THE EXTENT OF BEING ANAL IS IMPORTANT AND DRESS OUT ITEMS LIKE STAINLESS STEEL SIDE PIPES, WOOL CARPETING, LEATHER SEATS, REAL SMITHS INSTRUMENTS ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU AND JAG IRS AND PIN DRIVE WHEELS ARE IMPORTANT TO YOU THEN - -BY ALL MEANS - - EXPECT TO PAY 60K PLUS. EACH ONE OF THESE POINTS THAT YOU "SUBJECTIVELY" BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN LIVE WITHOUT WILL REDUCE THE PRICE. IF NONE OF THE ABOVE ARE IMPPORTANT TO YOU THEN YOU WILL BE WRITING A CHECK A LOT CLOSER TO 25K.

LIKE THE FARMER SAID WHEN HE KISSED THE COW, "TO EACH HIS OWN".

GOOD LUCK IN YOUR SEARCH AND I'M SURE WHATEVER COBRA YOU CHOOSE WILL PUT A BIG GRIN ON YOUR FACE FOR A LONG TIME.

Y'ALL HAVE A REALLY GREAT DAY,

BLACKJACK
