All other Cobras are around 27k with reserve not met, this one is only a little over 19k. I've been looking for a nice car project and this seems like a great deal, only thing is I've never bought something off Ebay, let alone something for 20 grand, so I'm not sure what I'd be getting into.

There's no way on God's green Earth that I'd buy a Shelby Cobra (even if it is a kit car) off Ebay without seeing it in person.

If you want a real project, buy the kit and build it yourself.

It's a replica. (Kit)

I concur...especially when the guy has zero feeback.

Unless you know how/ have time to put one together yes.

Go to factory five racing, price the kit, engine you want, extra parts, and time and then decide.

On the car itself I would need more info like the kit maker, who built the stroker, and which frame.

BS

Not on this particular car but the "replica" statement.

I know its a replica, I can't pay $100,000 for an original

Thing is all the kits I've looked at are only marginally cheaper than what this one is going for fully assembled. He says the kit came from these guys. I wish hadn't caught this so late so I could check it out a little more thoroughly.

Never heard of them but the setup looks nice. Comes down to the frame and glass work which you would definately want to check out.

If I were going to build one for myself I would use FFR
