I agree with Danr55, in some ways it's hard to find just the 'right' Cobra. Like a lot of us, I always have wanted a Cobra since I was a kid, and now am just about in a financial position where I can make it happen.
So ... from a Buyer's perspective, do you go for a car that's close to what you want and just buy it ... or do you pay a premium to order a roller, add a motor & trans and get it closer to the way you really want it.
Either way you wind up with an awesome car, the question is how close do you get to 'your' vision of the 'right' Cobra and how much is that worth.
My guess is that when the Buyer finds the car that's closest to his 'dream car', you've got a quick sale. I have been looking here and at Cobra Country for months and seen lots of great cars ... but so far, not THE car for me.
One other consideration for a Buyer in California, is SB-100. Unless the car already has SB-100, it may be a cleaner deal to buy a roller from vendor A, motor/trans from vendor B and put it together yourself. Once you then successfully go through the SB-100 paper mill, you should be set.
