Scam. That's $31K car. I guarantee that vin is tied to a different Cobra advertised somewhere else. He probably wants a deposit via Western Union. I almost fell for this scam on an NSX.

I just saw a black 04 convert cobra like that the other day, he came side by side with me and I started pulling on him from about a 50 mph roll out (never broke the speed limit however), I thought it would put up a lot more of a challenge then it did. Hopefully the guy just wasn't getting on it as much as he could of been.

Bet that was a std 4.6 NOT a supercharged one!

The carfax came up clean with the # listed, but I'll have to agree, it's just too good to be true!

The closest I could come locally is asking $29K which is almost twice of what I want to spend:

I think I saw a black one the other day by Maplewood Mall. Cool thing was, it had a DB Performance sticker on the window. Looked pretty aggressive.

Did you happen to ask the guy where he's at?

The cars.com ad says New York, the phone number is based in Los Angeles, and the eBay auction is in Arkansas.

He said he was in New York, sounded like he had a Arabian accent?

The standard Saleen S281 might be collectible, but they're not fast at all.

That coupe is nice and already has a lot of goodies. It would probably save you a bit in the end if all of the modifications were done right. I am not really a vert man so I would definitely take the coupe over the vert any day.

If you are at all serious I would try to get a hold of the shop that tuned/built it and ask as many questions as you can.

And Howie, I am jealous as hell. Someday I guess.
