    MKIV for Sale - Updated Interior Shots & Idle Walkaround Video - Sold!

    It's with a lot of hesitation and second thoughts but I have decided to sell my roadster. I loved the build and love driving her but something is amiss and I feel like there is something else in my near future. So up we have #8707, picked up in September 2015, in gel coat and driving by June 2016 to work out any kinks during the summer. She went in for paint late September 2016 and I brought her back home March 2017. She currently has 2399 miles on her, all of which has been local road driving with the exception of the open house last year. She has not seen the track nor any "aggressive" driving, e.g. no burnouts, etc. and obviously garage kept (heated). Switched over to Royal Purple synthetic late last summer.

    Enjoyed watching this one be built. Hate to see you getting rid of it so soon.
    I’ve got a pretty decent sized Cobra themed Instagram account. I’ll post a few pics for you and tell people to come here and check it out. May get some more extra eyes on it.

    Whoa, this is sure a shocker. Happy to have made the trip to FFR open house with you last summer. The memories of the build and driving what you built, will last a life time. A high quality car, should be an easy sell.

    Trying to add the video again. Flickr and Photobucket are giving me problems so let’s try YouTube.
