REDUCED! 1988 B.R.A. Cobra (manufactured in England and factory built by Beribo Replica Automobiles) Cobra. The BIG Picture: Click Here! Body is gelcoat Navy Blue, although the sunset light of these photos altered the appearance of the color. It does have a few minor blems and surface cracks in the fiberglass, but not visible from 10 ft away. B.R.A. made a very high quality reptile, and it's built very robustly. Powered by a 327 Chevrolet V8 (produces about 350 hp); new electric engine fan installed a year ago. BIG Photo of powerplant: Click Here! Engine has logged between 30,000–35,000 miles and runs strong. Muncie 4-speed gearbox, Jaguar undercarriage and rear end. In-Your-Face frontal shot: Click Here! Spax coil-over shocks. Wheels are Compomotive and rubber is brand new Grand Spirit Radial GTs. In the cockpit: period-correct Smiths gauges, Moto-Lita hardwood-rimmed steering wheel and forward-pointing shifter. Seats are Jaguar. This car was built for fun and dependability and I've used it as a daily driver in the summer months around Sacramento. Accessories include a rollbar, a top and side window frames. This is a California-registered car and therefore no CA DMV troubles. BIG Photo of cockpit: Click Here! This is a true “Gentleman’s Cobra” and eschews the stereotypical sidepipes, boy-racer stripes and rollbar. The pipes exit the back and a luggage rack on the trunk completes the '60s look of this little drivin' machine. BIG rear shot: Click Here! It's left hand drive, which gives it a whole “second kind of cool” over garden-variety Cobras. I have had my fun and driving thrills with this little roadster and I'm ready to move on. If you want an original-looking Cobra with a great "period-look patina" and very reliable mechanicals, this is the car for you. BIG "See ya' later!" shot: Click Here! It's a great value for the price I'm asking: $27,500 USD. This serpent should be importable into Canada: I purchased it in Ontario, Canada, where it was first registered in the late 1980s. But in Canada you'll need to check with Transport Canada to ascertain just what evidentiary documentation is needed for you to bring it back in.

2 April 2012: You can mark my "In 'N' Out Burger" CSX4044 Cobra SOLD! And in only a few short days on CobraCountry! Thanks to Curt's photography tips which made CSX4044 really “pop” in the pictures, and CobraCountry's 'global reach,' my ad touched the heart of a buyer in Monaco! Yes, my Cobra will be living it up in Monaco and on the French Riviera. I'm somewhat envious. The buyer (i.e., lucky new owner) made some inquiries 3 days after my Prestige Showcase ad went up, and we reached an agreement early last week. Sale was completed today (2 April). I'm ecstatic to have found my little red rocket what I believe will be a great home. The new owner is hoping to take photos of it in front of the Monte Carlo Casino, and on the F1 track before the Monaco Grand Prix. It's perhaps destined to be the menace of Monaco's motorways! Thanks again! Jack Carter

4 March, 2012: My E.R.A. Cobra was always blindingly fast—but did it set a record on your site? The first call for it came 45 minutes after the ad went live. The gentleman who made that call was the one who bought it! Due to scheduling snags, he was unable to consummate the deal for eight days. In that interim, NINE other serious calls and emails came in. Pending first refusal, I kept each responder informed—but they never got a chance. Thanks to Curt's sage advice, his thorough knowledge of Cobras, the marketplace and his editing expertise, Cobra Country was the most effective way to reach my intended audience. It’s the ONLY ad I placed anywhere for my fine E.R.A. Cobra, and it essentially ‘sold’ in 45 minutes! My car went to a great home and an appreciative family. They've chosen the pros at Vintage Motorsports Garage of Holliston, Massachusetts, to keep it in concours condition. I couldn’t be happier. Many thanks to Curt—he's made a buyer and seller new friends for life. Charlie Amodeo

11 March 2012: You can mark my Bright Green/Mecca Pearl Contemporary Cobra SOLD! Gone (as a wedding present) to a wonderful bride & groom in northern Virginia! First thing I would like to say is thanks personally to Curt Scott of Cobra Country. Curt is reason my car sold at the price it did, when it did, to the young bride-to-be it did. Curt called me up after I sent him my first round of photos and gently informed me "We have to talk." I became—with Curt's guidance—an expert at photographing Cobras. Curt's Cobra photography tips could make a professional photographer out of a blind man. His pointers are quite straightforward, and above all impart the proper methods to shoot these cars. My Cobra was selected and purchased entirely because my second round of photos really captured its beauty. The sale went flawlessly. From the first contact with Cobra Country, the photography lesson, the buyers' inquiries and every other aspect of this sale was not only professional, it was a joy. My car went for the price I wanted to some absolutely wonderful, appreciative people. All of the guidance I encountered from Cobra Country was expert and spot-on for marketing and selling a high-priced motorcar over the internet. I cannot recommend Cobra Country more highly. I was even invited to the wedding, as was Curt. Now that's how you market and sell and buy a car. See ya' in Gettysburg, Curt. Doc Fallon

Classic Roadsters 427SC. Corvette Nassau Blue/Beige Pearl Metalflake stripes.

No expense was spared to render this beauty a true SCCA track star. You get both a soft top and a perfectly matching hard top. This blue streak handles extremely well on the track, yet is just the same fully street-legal. You can tune the suspension from competition firm to comfortable cruising in minutes. This serpent has never lost to another Cobra or Cobra replica including Factory Fives and Superformances in the 7 years it competed in SCCA 'Solo' events. It has captured first place in a number of classes in Regional and Divisional SCCA Autocrosses throughout Indiana and Ohio, in Street Mod 2, B-Prepared and E-Mod classes. Also, It was first registered on 9 September, 1997, so now it's nearing the 'magic' 15-year age qualification for import into Canada.
