I didn't buy the Cobra. I had a reserved flight to see it, and I didn't even go. Having to remove the transmission and engine defeats the advantage of getting a great price. Incidentally, the customs website talks about fining people that intentionally remove the engine and transmission to ship separately and reinstall. It is a crime according to them. The price for the car is phenomenal, $5000 plus $1000 to ship it, but it'll cost additional to remove the powertrain, ship it, and reinstall it. Now I'm probably up around $10000. Still a good deal but not worth the risk anymore.

Thanks to all for their input.

Victor
