I don't know whether it applies to Cobras, but that is pretty true for kit cars in general. I think the last statistic I saw was somewhere between 25-30% are actually completed. This is for ALL kit cars, not Cobras. For a few years I advertised that I would buy unfinished kit cars, I looked at probably 20 in the area( within 100 miles). The biggest problem I encountered was that the owners wanted me to pay all their kit costs PLUS top $$ for their less than stellar workmanship. Most hadn't been worked on in 10 years( averaged). I have noticed in the Cobra ads, that are unfinished, that they seem to be more complete than the kits I looked at. Some of those kits were pretty gruesome even in their best light.
