Default Atlanta Cobra For Sale

Hello Club Cobra;

Due to some real estate ventures I'm taking on, I'm afraid my Cobra has to find a new home.

Here are the details:

Roller Rockers
6250-A443 Cam
Aluminum Water Pump
March Pulleys
(2) Edelbrock 600 cfm carbs on 2x4 manifold (carbs less than 1 yr old)
Hayes clutch
Lightweight hi-torque starter
Dual remote oil filters
Nascar radiator with (1) puller fan & (2) pusher fans

Trans:
Tremec TKO with road race 5th gear .80 & heavy 2nd gear

Rear Suspension:
Jaguar 3.73 limited slip, inboard disc brakes, heavy duty half shafts, watts linkage, Alden shocks (4), 1" sway bar

Very nice, and very fast

Paint in good shape, although has normal stone dings in front

Priced to sell at $38,800. INTERESTING trades + cash considered.

Titled in GA as a 1965 Ford.

Contact BigEasy (Charlie) at cell 770.598.0888

Atlanta Club Cobra members can attest to the condition of this car.

I have every receipt for anything put into this car---a binder 4" thick.

I can send more pic's as desired....

Thank you;
Charlie

I'm an Atlanta member and can attest to it being a total POS! Obviously NOT! It's absolutely georgeous and you can comb your hair with the reflection in engine compartment too. BigEasy - did you mention it has power steering? Best wishes and anyone who wants another angle on this car can contact me. It's sweet!

I can also attest to the condition and beauty of this car. VEEEERY nice. As a new owner, you will not be disappointed.

For crying out loud, just LOOK at the ENGINE... geez...

Charlie - Sorry to see it on the blocks - hope your deal works out and you can get another Cobra after the dust settles.

Folks this is a great car at a great price.

GS, Cracker & Excelguru;

Thanks for the testimonials, and the kudo's on the car. I hate to see it go, but perhaps a new build is in my future.

Interest from this forum seems to be limited, although I have had a few emails regarding trades.

I may be driving it this summer after all.....

Default Interested

Charlie, I shot you a proposed trade but I am pretty sure I can sell the car outright. Based on what I have been told I am indeed interested in your Cobra. If you can please email me jjtarnow@yahoo.com so we can discuss privately that would be great.

Thanks,
Josh

Charlie, that was quick. Did you advertise it anywhere or did it sell off the post?

Hey Tony;

Off the post right here...thanks to all the ATL members who gave their testimonials

I think the car was priced fairly, and the new owner will be a happy camper!

TC;

Thanks, and yes it was fast---almost to fast

The new owner is getting a great car, and all I can hope is will be as happy with it as I have been.

ClubCobra and the ATL group have been fantastic---I certainly look forward to staying in touch, and getting my "Cobra-high" through your cars

Charlie:

Was the purchaser Josh from NJ. He actually lives in the next town over from me and was hoping to see the car in person. Looks like a great car at a great price (actually almost toooo cheap).

jamvan;

Yes, it is Josh, and please tell him personally your sentiments on this car being a great deal for the price----I certainly think that it is!!

I feel I have some sort of kinship with you guys already---my wife actually grew up in Short Hills/Chatham, so I hope the damn thing is not going to one of her old boyfriends

Considering our age, maybe she was your babysitter

The car should be in route to Josh on Monday afternoon---I would expect he will see it by end of next week.

I'm sure he's going to enjoy it......

Yep, it was me and I'm very excited to get the car. I've been operating at low HP for a while (little British car) and I'm happy to be back home! I look forward to speaking/seeing some of you in the future. Thank you for all your help in terms of vouching for Charlie's car. Don't ever let someone tell you that it doesn't matter..it does.

Josh

Default My baby is Gone.....

Like TC said it would be, it was not easy watching her go today...

I got the call from Horseless Carriage, and the driver asked me to bring the car down to the Alpharetta Farrari dealer, where he was unloading . The weather today was brisk, but sunny, so I actually welcomed the opportunity to drive her one last time

The Farrari dealership is only about 15 minutes from my house, so I enjoyed the delivery---the car never even got up to temperature. The amazing thing was to see half the Ferrari dealership come out to the parking lot to view the car---here we are surrounded by $100K plus plus Ferrari's and Maserati's, and these guys are all drawn to the sound of the Cobra

Even my wife, who was following me for a ride home, commented that the look of these cars going down the road is something amazing

I'll see the ATL CC group at the next meet---I'll definitly need the fix....

OK, I see it---Ferrari, not Farrari. They are still $100K and up, no matter the spelling
