Dear Cobra Country:

You can mark my HCS Daytona Coupe SOLD!

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.

Sincerely,

Clois Harlan
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

Dear Cobra Country:

You can mark my Royal Blue Superformance Daytona Coupe SOLD!

Gone all the way to Florida... and just as Curt advised us might well occur... was purchased sight-unseen except for (my fiancée) Beth's great photos!

Many thanks to your fine site for hitching it up with its new owner!

It's gone to a very lucky new owner in California! He purchased it sight-unseen except for those great photos that Curt Scott's "Photography for Dipsticks" tips guided me through.

Everyone who replied to my ad commented on how beautiful my GT40 is... their judgement based only on my photos! I'll advise anyone I know to read your tips before they put their next car up for sale!

Thanks for your guidance, and (of course) thanks for your renowned 'global reach' to the (GT40) market!

All of the callers commented on how beautiful that GT40 is... all based upon my photos... a salute to Curt Scott’s photoraphy tips! What a terrific place to sell a GT40!

29 December 2011: You can mark my black Superformance GT40 MkII SOLD! This is the second car that CobraCountry has secured a buyer for me—the first was a 427 Cobra! If anyone remains unconvinced about CobraCountry's preeminence in marketing these Shelby driving machines, have him contact me! Ray Stribling

GT40 Mk1 by Superformance. Guardsman Blue/white stripes. The BIG Picture: Click Here! Powertrain: 366 cid Dart block built by Lawrence Racing Engines employing the best internals possible and topped off with an 8-stack fuel injection; dyno results: 560 hp/7,500 rpm; the transaxle is a Quaife 5-speed fitted with a 3.77:1 final drive gearing—an extraordinary formula when you compare it to how these fabulous Forties are typically powered and geared. BIG Photo of powerplant: Click Here! The majority of these drivin’ machines are fitted with a Roush 427 stroker small-block V8 turning a maximum 6,000 rpm and delivering 500–550 horsepower, delivered through an antiquated ZF transaxle. The reasoning for that typical setup is twofold: the Roush is a very good engine, and can be purchased right off the shelf. Ditto the ZF, as it is also very robust. However, 550 horses in a 2,300 lb./±1,040 kilogram car with only 6,000 revs to redline means that you’re shifting a lot when accelerating through the gears. The Quaife is light years ahead of the old ZF in every respect, including durability. The reason most folks don’t choose it and use it is that it costs almost as much as the engine! Rolling stock: 15" “wineglass” Halibrand wheels shod with Avon radial rubber. BIG 3/4-rearview shot: Click Here! In the cockpit: Simpson 5 point harness drivers seat [stock belts come with the car], leather-wrapped steering wheel, ‘Gurney Bubble’–crowned drivers door. BIG Photo of cockpit: Click Here!

29 June 2010: Mark that drop-dead gorgeous black mamba ERA GT40 Mk1 SOLD! That pride of (the late) Mark LeVea’s stable of fine motorcars is on its journey to Lake Geneva... the one in Switzerland! I received serious responses from Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Georgia, Michigan, Ontario (Canada), and of course Switzerland. And I had at least one other other caller ready to purchase that fabulous Forty if for any reason the Swiss purchase failed to materialize. All of the callers commented on how beautiful that GT40 is... all based upon my photos... a salute to Curt Scott’s photoraphy tips! What a terrific place to sell a GT40! John Stallings

GT40 MkII—fully sorted and rarin’ to go—by Superformance. Yellow/black interior. The BIG Picture: Click Here! This ‘fabulous Forty’ is a breathtaking rendition of Alan Mann Racing's #8 car, XGT-1. It was assigned the continuation GT40 number of GTP2103 and is registered as a 1966 GT40 in South Carolina. Drivetrain: this beautiful car has the desirable Roush 427SR/ 540 horsepower powerplant, and you can drive it very easily at low rpm in tow; it has an RBT ZF transmission with power-matched gear ratios for this motor. 0-60 times should be in the mid-3-second range and top speed should approach 200 mph. BIG Photo of powerplant: Click Here! It has never been raced but it has been on the Road Atlanta track a few times and handles extraordinarily well. You can get behind the wheel of this drivin' machine and drive all day, generating grins & thrills and 'thumbs up!' responses. The AC works great as does the heater. In the cockpit: Smiths instruments, adjustable pedals, and I have added extra 3/8" (±9.5mm) closed-cell neoprene for heat & noise suppression. BIG Photo of cockpit: Click Here! The Firestone tires are as new. The paint is almost as new with only a couple of small stone chips in the front, it does have the optional stone chip guard film applied to the nose. This car cost approximately $117,000 to get to this point with the motor and transaxle alone costing more than $30,000. BIG 3/4-view shot: Click Here! If you desire the-most-original–design GT40 on the market, then this Superformance is tailor-made for you. $88,000. I don't think you'll find a better buy on any ‘Continuation’ GT40 that is listed in the new SAAC World Registry. Contact Chuck at (864) 630-xxxx

	Motorcar Photography Tips hotlink You may think that all you need to know to take knock-’em-dead good photos of your GT40 is 1) how to turn on your camera, 2) how to aim it in the general direction of your FabForty, and 3) how to press the shutter. Think again.
