Decided to sell the Cobra bike. Judy doesn’t think she will ever be able to ride with me so I am going to look for a sport car that we can have fun with. Check out the ad on the classifieds.

I have a Kompact Kamp trailer and tons of unobtainable parts.

The whole kit and combootle for $9,000

Pm or call @ 850.eight six five-5378

Keep the bike and get the car too.  Something used but decent.

I hear you Jess. It’s complicated. It’s best I don’t have two mistresses.

This is shocking, but well understood Jeff. Hopefully you find a good buyer for that pristine ride as I know it is.

Thanks Mike. Ya, if it doesn’t sell there’s worse things to get stuck with I guess

Jeff I didn't think I'd hear that any time soon. Good luck with the search for the new ride.
 Is there a 60's / 70's convertible in your future or more of a late model?

The dream is a cobra kit car. That is if I can find one in my range

Something like this

Wow. The cost of tires. I found a front on sale for 300 after tax, holy crap. But I figured I’d have a brand new set of Cobra Chrome Tires on hand. If the bike doesn’t sell I’ll be set. If it sells the new owner rides off with new rubber and new glass on their new bike

Got the new Clearview shield in today. So if you want the whole package these new Cobra Chrome tires and the new Clearview shield are included. If you just take the bike for 6K you get the new shield free and talk to me about the tires.

That Cobra kit car is really nice!  And that’s my favorite color, too.  Bright red.  Good luck finding one in your price range, whatever that is.  They can be pretty pricey.  My wife would like for me to sell all 4 of my bikes/trike and get a sports car.  But I’m not ready yet.  Be safe.

Red is sharp for sure but ran across this one last week on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Guess what color...?

I found this in New Jersey. Judy won’t say yes until the bike is gone or I’d be on the way up there. Looks smaller than a Cobra but it has the same drivetrain and a Cobra badged FI 302. YeeHaa

Looks like it started life as an Austin Healy 3000?

Yep. And I’d be open to delivering or at least helping with transportation depending on distance.

Judy the Queen changed her mind. I’ll be flying up to New Jersey with cashiers check in hand to buy the Sebring next week. The price difference between this and a cobra was significantly lower but the bike is still for sale. I don’t need two mistresses

I’m driving my truck up to New Jersey Friday test driving the car and coming home Sunday. They will deliver to my driveway in an enclosed truck. I have high hopes this will go through.

I just informed Judy to get ready. If I get the car on Saturday she has until October to get ready for a road trip.
