SOLD FOR $262,589 ON 9/13/21

Scratching my head over this one... not a CJ block, wrong carb, a/c added, automatic...  Clean and well presented, photos and seller engagement must have helped a lot.

Outstanding seller on this one.

Previous rust history (pre-restoration photos), lots of repro parts, including door tag, panels reworked or replaced. P.O. claimed rotis restored in 2014.

Great job!

You got a Cobra Jet car without a cobra jet block, from a Canadian dealership, with extensive sheet metal repairs and replacement body tags. Oh sorry forget the cheap and incorrect parts for a quarter million plus!

I am wondering why a car built in May has a pre-December metal dashboard? Asking for a friend.

Looked like repo fiberglass headlights buckets as well as taillight panel must have been replaced because no adjustable decklid bumpers? Never seen a buck tag on the drivers side apron. The closer I looked at the photos, the more I found and questioned. I thought $133k was all the money on that car!

Maybe someone here should've stepped up and contacted the buyer with their expertise.

Instead, just make remarks here to most that already know what wrong or right ???

I don't believe the price but who ever thought Cobras would be million dollar cars?

Hey! What's wrong with a Canadian dealer?? One of my cars is from Healy. Same cars delivered to 50 states.

I didn't do a deep dive on correctness and some of the things pointed out here I'm going to go back and look at and save the pics for ref. I have been creating files on cars. The dash thing I missed. The buck tag I saw. I make it a habit not to alter an auction if I can by comments. Those who see my comments I will answer a question or I will rebut a comment which was falsely made. One example is the med lime Boss 302 on BaT right now. One person chimes in on how correct the underside was done so I corrected him pointing out the Repo front floor pans and posted a link to a you tube video of Bob Perkins 1970 GO B9. I may also post on things AFTER the car has sold. I've seen some real turds go for stupid money. I have also pointed out when some have reached out to me here on what was wrong with a particular car(look at pic ### and this is what I see...). I will also point out the GOOD I see in a car for sale. Absence of all sound deadner I found curious on this KR. Should the rear leaf springs have band clamps on them also? Gary
