How are they able to title it as a 1967 when it was built in 2003? It’s not a continuation Cobra with a CSX serial number or anything, it’s clearly sold as a kit car.
I agree that front plate has to go, plus the dumb little stripes on the left front fender.

I believe it has to do with the engine. Kit cars can be titled based on the engine (block?) vintage. You can build a period correct kit car and have emissions and title based on the engine year.

Missed this the first time. There used to be a play where you could send the MSO to a place in Georgia, which would title it as a '67, then 'sell' it back to you, usually with a very low valuation so you could skip out on taxes. Now you have a titled 1967 Ford Cobra. It was still possible when I registered my Factory Five in '03 but it smelled a little too fraud-y to me so I went the fully legal route, which wasn't too hard in NJ. It just required that you have the correct emissions controls for the year of the engine you use and a trip to a special inspection station to confirm road worthiness.

that seller has had some amazing nsx sales and other cars.
He showed me that you have to list your car on BaT at the airport haha.

Out of curiosity, I looked at some MG TF's and the price range was reasonable (20-25K). If you are going to buy a classic that will need constant attention, maybe go that route.
Does the Queen know about double clutching a non-sync trans?

nice example but if I recall there was also a very much sought after limited twin turbo version of this car too. I used to have one of these in my Gran Turismo garage back in the days I was hooked on Playstation when it first came out (aging myself i guess).

A friend in high school had one. He bought it from an elderly lady in Berkeley Heights, on Mountain Ave near Bell labs. Was a muncie 4-speed, bucket seats hardtop. Super clean, 60 or 80K. I was there when he gave her $600.00. It was just a 10yr old car back then. Sadly it did not last to the end of high school, he wrapped that sucker around a tree. He's lucky to be alive.I want want want this beauty. Buick lost its way beginning in the malaise era, but man could they make sweet rides before that!

Comments are gold. It really is a little baffling though...separated from its chassis in 2014 and then cut into pieces? How did that ever make sense?
someone is fibbing?

My brother had a Superformance Cobra with a Roush 427, which I believe was titled as a '65 (in Arizona) even though it was built in 2008. But I'll check on that. What a beast that thing was! Around 600hp in an 2500lb car.
I, too am addicted to BaT (PCarMarket as well). I have been looking for a G-body 911 for some time.
