There are alot of Cobras here and on other sites that are actually very good buy's. My advice is to shop around, drive a few and then jump in with both feet. We aren't getting any younger and you don't want your new son-in-law spending all your hard earned money do you?
Yeah, I have driven it. For that matter I test drove it when it was new also.

I originally started looking back in 1999. At that time I was thinking about buying an ERA kit and building it myself. Park Place had an ERA that I went to look at, but when I seen the quality of the Superformance I decided that was what I would get when the time was right. I almost bought that car then, but a house remodel, and upcoming college costs made me change my mind.

I guess that's why I'm not adverse to paying a few thousand more for the car as it's the one I originally wanted.
