Unhappy I hate to have to do this.

Well the time is upon me and the time to offer this car up for sale is here. I have sold my current house and I am in the middle of building my next one just that I could realy use the money to help with the new. I started my time at Club Cobra with the thread that I did not know what to do with this car, I now know what I need to do with this car. I cringe inside at the idea of selling this beautiful machine that I have had the great fortune of owning. :::For Sale

I have had it appraised by Jay N. of jays cobras out of Dallas. He is reachable if need be for any serious buyer. Just give me a day or so to give hime notice and to make sure he has the time to answer any questions of give his opinion for he is busy with all he does. Let me know and I can give you his ways of contact. I would like the car to go to someone who is serious about being apart of the family of cobra owners or someone family member already. This is a great car and runs like a #@%*& IF you can read between the lines. Thanks for the time and interest.

Asking price of $ 53,000.00, obo.(within reason)

Thanks,
DownTown
