Thanks
to your site and its first-rate resources my HCS Coupe now
resides in Kansas City with its new owner. All this happened
in just over a week on CobraCountry! I had more than a half dozen
callers in the first few days alone.
Your site's
expert photography instructions and Curt's personal "Coupe-specific"
photography tips paid HUGE dividends in marketing my Coupe...
for both me and its lucky new owner! If I may quote Mark Twain:
"I never learned anything while I was talking."
I appreciate
Curt's taking the time to walk me step-by-step through how to capture
great photos of my car. The Coupe is now gone but Curt's advice is
here to stay. I thank him so much for his patience with me during
this adventure.
Gone
to the first caller (in France) who contacted me only a couple of
weeks after my ad went up!
And advise Curt
that his advice on marketing your car with good photos is spot-on!
It sold sight-unseen (except for my photosplus the buyer had
a colleague come by to see and inspect the car.
Many thanks
for your site's photography tips and its 'European reach'!

Mark my
Collectors' Edition Daytona COBRA Coupes book by Peter Brock

Truth be known, the book sold
shortly after my Prestige Showcase page went up, but I forgot
to let you know!
Curt did a masterful job of presenting
Peter Brock's magnum opus to the world; his photography,
photo editing, writing and page layout were all first-rate!
And the book is now the centerpiece
volume in the collection of a terrific fellow Shelby enthusiast on the
west coast!
Mark my
beautiful black-on-black Classic Roadsters Cobra SOLD!
Thank you, Cobra Country, for
all of the assistance in the skilled marketing and sale of my Cobra.
I received 25 to 30 calls on my Cobra; in just a few short weeks it
sold to a fine fellow Cobra enthusiast right here in Dallas.
Curt spent a total of several
hours working with me to get my photos and my text perfect. Your (Cobra
Country) website and customer service is second to none!
Because of your site my ERA
Cobra #192 sold in 3, yes, THREE days!!
Thanks to Curt for his expert
tips on taking the best photos and to you all for all your help in keeping
Curt under 360 mph (LOL).

Dear Cobra Country:
Mark that
fabulous Indigo Blue Superformance #SPF2656 SOLD! It actually
sold within just a couple of days after it went up on your site... and
in the dead of winter here in Wisconsin!
I received about 20 inquiries
from all over the U.S. and Europe, starting from the very outset, and
had two solid offers. It's now about to be strapped into an enclosed
trailer and headed to its new owner in Kingwood, Texas.
I commend Cobra Country both for
its reach and for its resources. Curt patiently guided me
through how to take better photos of my Cobra, and those (much better)
photos played a big role in the phenomenal response I received.
And one other thing: both
of the solid offers I got were sight-unseen... the offers and the sale
based almost entirely upon my photographs, just as Curt had predicted!
Mark
my Brilliant Red Superformance Daytona Coupe SOLD!
It's now the proud
possession of a fine fellow in Florida!
Once again Cobra
Country came through for me (and for my buyer!); special thanks for
Curt's photography tips. You've made me a firm believer in the value
of taking good photographs of your drivin machines!
Incidentally,
this is the second Cobra we've sold on Cobra Country... my brother (William)
sold his Factory Five Cobra Daytona Coupe on Cobra Country about
a year ago!
I got
more responses and more action than everywhere else I advertised.
Chalk it up as
a prompt sale at a good price!
Thank you, Cobra
Country!

You
may think that all you need to know to take good photos of your
Daytona Coupe is 1) how to turn on your camera,
2) how to aim it in the general direction of your
Coupe, and 3) how to press the shutter.
Think again.
That's
the perfect formula for capturing crappy snapshots that'll prompt
all
your potential buyers to flee screaming into the wilderness.
And rightly so.
Photojournalist Curt Scott's
latest revision has been carefully reworked just for you! Its
a priceless investment of your time... on a single

The
Best Friend Carroll Shelby Ever Had
by Colin Comer, Sports Car
Market magazine
Here's an article that I stumbled upon
that you'll find interesting and enlightening. It's
about the Shelby American Automobile Club (SAAC)
and how instrumental it's been over the past 30 years
in keeping alive and expanding motorcar enthusiasts'
awareness and appreciation of the fabulous Shelby metal
of the 1960s. It's a fitting tribute that's long overdue.
