Thanks Charley.

I think I'll just wait a few months for Greg to get tired of his...whenever it is that he gets a Cobra.

(Give him permission to get one please).

Good advice! There's no shortage of them - and the price swing from low to high is enormous. In fact - just thinking about it - I don't think I've ever seen one with high milage!

I'm sorry ---- this just busts me up....


Look what it costs (compare new to used here) to drive so few miles..... JUST WOW! I've known this all along - but thought I'd post it here since we're talking about 'em.

Thanks Steve.

I made it over to the FF forum.

There's a mostly funny thread about FF guys talking to people about their other make of replicas.

The SPF guys can be extremely sensitive...lol

One example...

"I had an SPF guy go off about it not being a kit car when all I said was "nice car". "

Really? Have you ever added up just the PARTS to build a car? Then add paint? They're a relative BARGAIN. Even more so when you buy a used one.

Todd,

Been thinking a lot about that.

How was your '69 to live with on longer drives?

It was a nice highway cruiser with good road manners. It was fairly raw with it's solid motor mounts and dump exhaust. That was my vision when I built it. I'd want something more refined if I built another. Something that needs less maintenance, quieter, smoother, and modern appointments. More function than raw performance.

I've had convertibles and the window they are useful is pretty narrow for me. They may be more useful in your environment.
