Haha!  yeah, it took me only a few minutes to figure it out.  Atleast their description matches the registry.  So many other ads are not as honest and forthcoming.  I like the car, but don't have a dime to buy it.   :)

So why only 1 bid?
Title: Re: 1965 Shelby Cobra on eBay
Post by: Chad on January 15, 2019, 09:53:06 AM
Because that car needs everything and it is a bad original color scheme!  That one bid was probably his buddy.

Actually, the bid was placed by me last week - I have a strong interest but was waiting for more pixs and info - Was just texted by seller that more info on the car will not be forthcoming anytime soon (?) (!) - Makes it hard to get on a jet and go look at it not having any specifics of the car nailed down...........

Smells like an old tuna samitch left out in the sun for awhile... If the books not open to review, its not worth the fuss. No info forthcoming? :-[

Neat piece. Anyone look it up in Registry?

Legit, from what I recall years ago. STeve B contacted me, I suggested that @ this price point any serious buyer get in their "jet" and take a look. A bit strong starting # will equal little to no bidding on that platform. BAT might be a better choice with a lower reserve.

It goes on to say "V. Green/Beige?  So did the owner change the interior too from Beige to black?  Must've been years ago.

Yes, having seen the car 15+ years ago, you could see the original color in some of the age cracks and seat creases....today, I can imagine they are still there. Car has been stored, but not prepped for that storage period.

What cost would anyone estimate to totally restore it back to day one??

Thats kind of asking like how much a house costs....there are a lot of variables and choices to be made during any restoration

+1 Really depends of what one considers restoration. To some it might be use what is easily available, reuse little of the small mechanical and electrical components, nice looking soft trim, and great outer body presentation. Or the other extreme go after every original component you can find (many have to be harvested from other Cobras), go to England and hunt down leather and carpet as close as you can get, and while you are at it make not only every part engineering design and revision level "correct" but dated appropriate to the car. There is a couple of hundred thousand dollars or more difference and several years elasped time difference between the extremes. It is really easy to spend $50,000 plus or minus rounding up missing parts over several years. I have seen cars done both ways sitting side by side. Casual observers almost never distinguish between low effort and high effort jobs if the two cars look good ten feet away. Many people would not distinguish a well done replicar and a top tier recommisson to original configuration of a nice original car. It is an individual owner definition and preference situation.

Survivor is a strange term to use for a car with exterior AND interior color change IMHO..That being said I do love it very much....unfortunately way out of my league (price wise)
