[QUOTE="stangbear427, post: 4391076, member: 46931"] Having an engine with zero miles is far easier to aquire than than a Cobra body with 1331. First of all, They are still being made and are relatively cheap. As I said [much] earlier, every Cobra specific engine component is also easy to get. Getting this car for $5K, I could have a never fired 100% Cobra specific engine in it which for the most part no one would know wasn't born there for less than $10K total investment- which is what I paid for mine with 100,000 miles on it. Which one would I rather have? If both options had been available I wouldn't have even looked at my car, not even if I could have gotten it for the $5K the editor paid for this one. But then, I was raised in a body shop (literally- my bedroom was upstairs). You say mileage means nothing on a body... I can't fathom even thinking that. In the world I was brought up in that's heresy. You may think your 184,000 mile body is as good as the one on this 1331 mile car, but I can say with authority- I promise you it isn't even close. Not if is was stored in a climate controlled garage every second it wasn't driving down the road... and it wasn't. [/QUOTE]
