I made the ultimate mistake!
Hi guys. I just bought my first Cobra and broke all the rules. I only looked at one cobra and bought it. I didn't even drive it although i did drive in it.
I purchased backdraft #826 and absolutely love the car. Wife does too!......and that was a pleasant surprise.
I live in N Central FL (about 45 miles West of Gainesville). Would love to hear from anyone in the area. I have never seen a cobra in my area but there must be some!
The seller was a straight shooter and overall great guy. So far my Cobra experience has been very positive. Hope to meet some fellow owners soon.
Thanks
Jim

It's only the ultimate mistake if you got screwed. Sounds like a great experience. Congratulations and enjoy it! Only one thing better than owning a cobra...

Oh, what a relief! I thought you were going to say you got drunk in Vegas and woke up married to a stranger/bimbo and she was allergic to Cobras!
Congrats! And if you ever get up Jacksonville way...look us up.

You are not alone. I also only looked at one Cobra one I bought CSX 3121 in November 1969. In all honesty, I could have found a better example for the money.

Does that correlate to dating only one girl, getting to first base, then marrying her?
Boy, I made the ultimate mistake as well.
