When I read it, I thought, "I wouldn't want anyone to PPI on my 4000 series, in Florida or anywhere!" Your definition is better. |
Do the eBay guys that do inspections do inspections outside if eBay or is that a violation of eBay policy. I know they send lots of photos, drive the vehicle and do checks on mechanical condition.

You may want to join the Shelby American Automoble Club (SAAC) and their forum, The Official SAAC Forum - Index. You can find members or marque inspectors in nearly every region of the country that will inspect the car for a fee of course.

Bottom line is the guys that inspect on ebay have no clue about Cobras or anything else except 1990 Chevy's. Get someone who knows a Cobra. Shelby CSX cars are good sound Cobras and it won't disappoint you. You do need to know the history and any of the guys mentioned here will be able to spot if major repairs have been done. But even if so, don't necessarily let that necessarily scare you. Almost all of the originals were wrecked during their racing days. On Sunday they looked horrible and by the next Friday they looked new. It all depends on who did the work. There are a few that are renowned for their work. CARFAX don't work on Cobras, so be sure to get "the rest of the story". Good luck with your purchase and I hope you will drive the snot out of it. I put almost 5000 miles on mine by myself (since my wife wouldn't go in it). I love my GT, but the cobra was exhilarating! |
Guys,
Thanks for the info, i will look at SAAC forum. And also looking forward to close the deal and get the car over to Belgium. It will be the HP monster in the classic collection. |

And join SAAC by paying a membership fee and you get a really nice annual book that they send you too. |
SAACForum is great but it's dedicated to the old clunkers, the cars not the guys on there ;-)
This is the only place on the web I know of that has a dedicated 4000 section. csxinfo.net - csxinfo Forum |
Based on historical comments I would focus equally on the power train install. You want to know who did it and when, and who the supplier of the block, clutch system, and tranny.
