Selling because my Gen III Coupe is coming out of paint real soon and 2 toys is 1 too many according to my boss (wife)!

Thx,

I know this car well---it is completely sorted out and exceptional! You could pick it up in Florida and drive it home to the west coast :)

What if you live on the East coast? ;)

John

PS nice car! GLWS

[65 Cobra Dude]

Haha, thanks John!

[65 Cobra Dude]

I just updated the listing with some more details. Open to questions?

Thx,

Henry

[65 Cobra Dude]

Lots of interest and a few nibbles. Coupe is home and I am bolting her back together.

Thx,

Henry

[wareaglescott]

Car looks nice. I posted on my Cobra instagram page (@scottsrides) for more visibility for you. Told people your username here so they could find the add. Good luck with sale

[65 Cobra Dude]

Thanks WES, had a guy interested but it just fell through. Car is still for sale.

Thx,

Henry

[65 Cobra Dude]

Price dropped to $48k and she is back on eBay!

Thx,

Henry

[65 Cobra Dude]

Price drop to $45k which is as low as I can go on this car.

Thx,

Henry

[65 Cobra Dude]

Seems the color is throwing people off on this car. You either love it or hate it. I listed it it on eBay one more time and if it does not make reserve ($45k), i will have it repainted to a more conventional color and raise the price back to cover the paint job.

Thanks for looking,

Henry

[John Dol]

I wonder if some stripes would help break up the color, instead of painting the entire car?

John

[RAMRobAZ]

I agree, some $300 white stripes will make this car look great.

[65 Cobra Dude]

Thanks guys. Great idea and I will give it a try once the eBay ad expires.

Thank you,

Henry

[crallbur]

I can only guess as to why nobody has taken advantage of the pricing. Possibly the lack of traditional cosmetic features (ie side vent cutouts and side exhaust)...not even sure if that can be done at this stage as I have never built one of these. Everything else is amazing that there is no excuse for it not to be sold.
I wouldn’t touch the paint...stripes maybe.
GLWS

[KDubU]

Maybe it’s just me but I think black stripes would be better with this shade of blue.

[RAMRobAZ]

Yeah, Black would be good too!!

[TheBabyBadger]

Interesting... Looks like Nitrous (3 stage) or Laguna Blue. Ford color. Am I close? I LOVE the color... I'm using the 2018 Ford RS Blue on my build, but adding some Satin BOSS stripes to break it up.

GORGEOUS CAR!

[GoDadGo]

Maybe it’s just me but I think black stripes would be better with this shade of blue.

Black Stripe would also match your wheel and roll bars too.

Have you thought about adding the side louvers because it might add a extra character.

[65 Cobra Dude]

Thanks guys, I reached out to my painter for the black stripes They would also match the roll bars and exhaust. I appreciate the constructive feedback and will get them done if it does not sell on eBay or at the Texas Cobra Club Spring meet.

Henry

[John Dol]

Not sure if the side vents are an option but I think it would break up the side a little bit. Make them black too.
Funny how I never saw/noticed that or the fact it doesn’t have side pipes either.

[65 Cobra Dude]

Thx John - too late for the side vents without painting the whole car. I got a guy on eBay trying to lowball me but I am sticking to my guns on price. Anyone who knows these cars know that is a steal. The custom exhaust was over $3k (Spintech oval tubes and muffler as used by NASCAR) alone. I did the undercar because my wife got snake bit. As I said above, if she does not reach the BIN price this time around on eBay or I don't get a buyer at the TCC Spring Meet, I am going to put the stripes on and raise the price. I may also do something special in the area where the vents usually go.

Henry

[65 Cobra Dude]

Buyer wigged out, car is still for sale!

Henry

[John Dol]

I tell ya, if it wasn't for the buyers selling would be easy!!

John

[65 Cobra Dude]

I hear ya John, I'm not happy but such is life. It's back on eBay whilst i am off to the TCC Spring Meet. I'll put the stripes on when I return.

Henry

[scott554]

Was at TCC and had no clue this car was for sale, as I was there looking for a new ride since I sold mine in October 2018. I looked at the car because the color as it stood out so much, my luck as usual.LOL

[GoDadGo]

Here is an even better look at Henry's Wild Blue Wonder:

[65 Cobra Dude]

We can ship it back Scott!!! I see your bid on eBay. The reserve is set at the BIN price which is the same price here - $45k.

Thanks for putting the video up Steve! I just updated my eBay ad as well!

There were a couple of people interested in TX and they took my card and paper ad. She'll be in someone else's garage soon.

Henry

[scott554]

My apologies as I did not see the ads or would have asked as I'm pretty sure I talked to you while you were hooking up your trailer when your cones got moved!

[65 Cobra Dude]

No apologies needed Scott. I was pretty ticked off but appreciate you directing me back to my trailer.

Henry

[65 Cobra Dude]

Still for sale! Spring is here (at least some places:))

Henry

[65 Cobra Dude]

Some have asked for undercar pics - here you go!

[65 Cobra Dude]

What You Guys Need To Know About Henry:

Hey Gang,

I've had the honor of meeting Henry in person about a month ago when he was heading over to Texas.
He is a Professional Builder so who ever gets this car will be getting one heck of a ride.
AC, Power Steering, Power Brakes and a Soft Top are just some of his over the top additions.
Add in the fact that your better half will NEVER Burn Her Leg on the pipes is something most of us don't think about.
Also, Henry is one of those fellows who has been protecting us for more than 25 years so that tells you a lot about the man.
He is the real deal and his most recent offering is top notch too.

Steve

Henry > Thank You Again For Your Service!

Thank you Steve and Bob. I am truly humbled. My Military Service was an honor and a privilege!

Henry

[65 Cobra Dude]

Still up for sale. Price dropped to $42k. Some interest but no hard bites. I feel guilty the car is just sitting there with driving season being here. I have my Gen III Coupe as well as other customer cars I am working on and just don't have time to drive her. If you have any questions or need any more pics, just ask. I built my first FFR in 1995 and am on my 21st build right now. This car needs nothing and is ready to drive.

Thx,

Henry

[65 Cobra Dude]

Still for sale! Season is here and this car has AC and a soft top not to mention all the other amenities. I'm going to the London Cobra Show this week but am flying up. I'll be a cookie judge and hanging around the NAPA tent and most folks there know me. If you have any questions, I'll be available there.

Thx,

Henry

[65 Cobra Dude]

Still up for sale. Over 11.7k views! Any questions or concerns, just ask.

Henry,

Great idea on the stripes;)
If you fabricate a flange flush to the body you could still make a side vent too.

Good luck,

John

[SerpantFL]

We just saw the blue slabside last night with those stripes. Wow. Henry did a fantastic job, and the photos do not do it justice.The buyer is in for a ton of fun.

[65 Cobra Dude]

She is sold! Congratulations do the new owner, Chris!!!

Henry

[Jeff Kleiner]

Congrats my friend! I've been afraid to make any kind of comment over the last few weeks for fear of jinxing the deal but it sounds like it's safe now :)

Jeff

[edwardb]

Congratulations Henry. We get way too attached to these things (OK, at least I do...) but I'm sure it's a relief to see it go. Finally. :p
