I was going to point that one out, but Cowtown beat me to it. I don't know why, but it used to bug the hell out of me when I would finish up a really awesome cobra, owner takes it home, two years later owner wants to sell it and it only has 2000 miles. I would personally put nearly 500 miles on a replica for testing and debugging before it would leave the shop, and the owner only does 2000. I imagine there is a contingent of car guys out there that just have a list of cars they want to own before they die. But cobra, put checkmark next to it on the list, sell cobra and buy next car on list. Driving and enjoying the car not necessary. Of course, every single cobra buyer ever will tell you,
"I will never sell this car."
maybe they were expecting creature comforts, A/C, stereo, good gas milage, less attention from passers by, practicality, who knows?
