Default Alloy Cobra for sale

This is the only alloy bodied Cobra I know of that is currently for sale in Australia. Seems like a killer price for $68K.

Hmmm.... anyone want to buy my car less engine?!?

"Private Seller cars",
enter "aluminium cobra" into Keyword
select "All States"
and Bob's your Uncle.

Really, it is worth the effort !!!

I'm on Ebay ordering all of the sandpaper and polishing compound as I type this. Not really, but it's fun to dream. The prospect of buying a complete alloy car that is already registered and complianced over here is a very tasty thought.

I have no doubt that the Kirkham or CSX4 body/chassis/suspension would be nicer out of the box, but I can't see any alloy Cobras being imported into Australia without either a very significant investment in the usual compliance bullsh!t that we all know about, or some equally creative customs smoke and mirror trick. Neither of which am I prepared to accept.

Craig,

Hi mate, that has been around for some time. I first saw this after talking with G Forxce cars in WA. They have the body for sale at about $39,000 Aust. dollars from memory.

Thought about it for a while also.



Now with some polishing and black stripes...

Bernie

Bernie - I seemed to remember the car being for sale, but I wasn't aware of the cheap price. If they sell the alloy option for $39k, that makes the rest of the car $30k. That's a lot for your 30 gorillas. Leather, stainless, right wheels, 351W, Tremec, etc, etc, etc.

Craig,

I fully agree it's great value at the price. I also did the sums and thought not bad.

The registration would just change over without any problem.

Still have vision of highly polished body and stripes.


Bernie
