May be moving on all together. Gonna look for something that's already built.

After I sold my one owner fully built black convertible. I regretted it and within 3 months I bought another cobra that was "built". While I am sure there are many nicely built cars out there the experience has taught me the reason people start out stock. I have basically spent the last year and thousands going through this car and fixing stuff.

For example, the previous owner did not install the required shim in the transmission front cover required for the front bearing race. The bearing was not properly preloaded and granaded itself a few months after I bought the car. After I figured out what happend, it was only going to be a few hundred more for the tranny shop to fully build the T-56. The list goes on and on.

If I had to do it again, I would start out with more lightly modded car or just think of your purchase as a parts project car. You are essentially buying another man's project. I wish you good luck with your sale and search!

Yea I definitely don't want to get stuck with someone else's problems! I'm still in the air with what I want to do, anything is still possible lol. Appreciate the input bud. You have experienced what I would not want to happen
