Jakob,

The Cobra was restored from drag race trim to street trim in 1974 by me.

Due to its age, I was forced to renew the hydraulics. I do not intend to restore it again. The paint is showing its age, but other than that, I intend to leave it as is. As far as the mechanics, I will be removing the engine soon to inspect it since it was stored for over 15 years without running the engine. When I placed it into storage, I had renewed the bearings/rings/gaskets, ect. including a new clutch/pressure plate/throwout bearing. I just want to see whats going on inside the engine so when I start it, I will not suffer any unexpected issues.

At that time, I intend to agressively market the car. If someone would be interested in doing the engine inspection, and the reassebly, I would entertain the thought. The car is located at my home in Estacada, Oregon USA.

My Cobra had a few stories published in car mags, and if you are interested, I can e-mail a copy to you. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Cheers,
