Well, if you can't sell a car on it's merits, baffle them with Bullschitt

Seller has been known to shill his auctions in the past, not certain if he still does or not.

Seller does take excellent pictures, wish I had half of that part of his talent

Thanks - it amused me. Not sure about the colour - half of me loves it and the other half hates it.

I am not to sure about that color either. And the title would not work here in California.

All that "manly" talk and it has heat shields? I would have expected barbed wire wrapped side pipes (:

Whatever he writes, if it says 1965 in the title a German "dealer" will buy it..

Well, I could deal with that color on a Plymouth Superbird, but I've got to hand it to the writer: that was a pretty funny narrative. I'm sure it gets the clicks.

I did like the diamond stitching on the interior. Similar to a Ferrari, but a little out of place in a Cobra.

Yes, I agree. Heat Shields?

All that nice bling and he sticks a rusty bracket under the dash.WTF?
Imaging actually meeting him to buy it. That would put me right of. But it was funny, especially to the reference to the handbag.

There is cobra near me that has the same colors and I almost thought that it was this one, but I do not recall seeing the black stripe and graphics on the side. It reminds me of older Pylmouths and Dodges, but not what I would like to see on a cobra. Too each their own

I like it, he makes that odd color choice work with the blacked out wheels and striping.

It's not my cup of tea, but I do think it's a nice-looking, well balanced car. A lot of time and thought went into that build. Between the car and the write-up, I give him high marks for creativity.

Anybody notice this description has been used before (2013 for a cobra)

Best car ad ever!

And swiped from a Nissan ad off craigslist back in 2008

Well, whatever...the auction is over and, as predicted, the reserve was not met.
