Many original parts wrapped in 1982 newspapers. ;D "I'll get to it one of these days"

The registry shows it dropping off the face of the earth back in the early 90's. The rest I'll leave for the buyer/buyers to disclose this Saturday after their local Cars and Coffee.

What is the CS number?
Move along - nothing to see here.
Cobras have been photographed behind brick buildings ever since CS rented Lance's place.
Nice
Ok, I gotta know. What would the price of that Cobra, it that condition to for? I wanna see if my paper route money would cover that.
Not very far. Newspapers are dust.
Yes the cobra is out of the barn now csx 2429 is correct . I was down for the unveiling and helped pull the engine and trans out and dash and wiring
car sat for over 20 years in a storage unit .. in nc .
Modified glove box with aircraft breakers / all wiring was changed to mil spec by previous owner.

What is the end game for this car? A full restoration or something in between.
Getting restored the previous owners attempt was pretty poor / British racing Green with black and wires

There is a good chance i will lend a hand / I assembled 2428 so 2429 is the next in the series :)

Quite frankly, it's none of our business, and I personally find it distasteful that someone asked, as if it was their right to know such things.
Bill
I kind of have a disdain for that reply. Just trying to figure out, for myself and everybody else, what is the going rate on a real Cobra in need of some restoration. One can give a good close guess as to what an assembly needed Shelby Mustang would cost by the different years. Cobras are way different. And if it would be needed to be kept out of public veiw, that is what a simple PM would do.
Case by case. Too Mary variables like originality, documentation, etc. It's a seven figure automobile so whether you pony up at Mecum or have it restored its probably going to be the same investment in the end. Now if you have the talent and shop to tackle it yourself then that's a plus. Otherwise its time and materials sans budget- not on a car like this.
