Default Newbie in TN.

Hello All,
I'm looking for a Cobra, and am interested in a Contemporary in Spokane, Washington area. How could I find someone knowledgeable of Cobras, and especially Contemporarys to check out the car for me? I'm new to this, and would appreciate any and all info on buying a car long distance, having it transported, etc.
I've been looking at ads, and learning a lot on this site for a few months. I'm getting close to taking the plunge, but can't afford to buy the "wrong" car.
This seems to be a good one, but I could use some expert advice, and I know there are many here.
Anyone in Washington?
Thank You,
Gene

Ok, must be quiet in Washington, so I'm going to broaden the area.
Any opinions on Contemporary? Know of anyone who does pre purchase inspections?
Transporting?
Any advice or suggestions?
thanks,
Gene

Rusty Bob,
As far as I can tell up to this point, it is very close to original cars, including 427 SO.
I visited ERA and Contemporary in the mid 80's, and have liked them both since then.
I was disappointed to learn Contemporary is gone.
This particular car seems to have been done well, and taken care of.
I believe I found someone familiar with them to check it out for me.
Gene
