Need some advice

I live in the Atlanta area and have been searching for a clean Cobra for some time now. I believe I have found one but I am not familar with the make. It's a 2002 Lonestar Classic you can see it on the for sale site as "Reduced Price Lonestar Classic" I found out today it does not have a heater nor a top. How much of a problem would it in getting a top and a heater installed in this area? Now for the big question what is the general consensus for the Lonestar.
Appreciate you thoughts.

Seems like a nice car from the post that I would offer 29K on. I wouldn't add the heater or the top, but that's me.

Trust me. You don't need a heater. A nice hard top might set you back $1200. I can't reccomend a soft top. Most are really ugly. 99% of us that have tops never put them on. 99% of those that put them on take them right back off.

Ditto: you don't need a heater or a top inAtlanta. Have had my car 4 years now and have done fine. get by ven on cold days and use the tonneau and rain gear if caught out. Always beats a motor cycle for protection!
Email me if I can be of any help. Have an engineer friend/factory Five builder/NHRA inspector who checked out my car prior to purchase: make a low ball offer and go for it: it is a BUYERS market. chip
