Dear Cobra Country:
Mark that Spectra Blue Factory Five Cobra SOLD!
Eight days ago I phoned Curt during lunch and arranged an ad for my Cobra. It went "live" around 2:45 pm and I had an email at 7:00 pm followed by a follow-up phone call and "closed-deal" by 10 pm all in the same day.
In aggregate we had 4 serious offers, 10-12 emails from all over the country and countless phone calls. Cobracountry is extraordinary!
The car is on its way to Utah as I write this. He actually wanted to fly down and pick it up last Saturday but it was Father's Day and I was out of town. That would have meant the listing, sale and delivery all occurring in under 50 hours... not bad!

Dear Cobra Country:
Mark my beautiful black E.R.A. #457 SOLD!
It’ll soon be on its way to its new home in Switzerland—and (no doubt) nimbly negotiating all the curvaceous Alpine motorways from Bodensee to Vicenza!
My congratulations to its (quite fortunate) new owner Martin. Martin is a genuine gentleman and was marvelous to deal with.
Cobra Country attracts serious buyers and gets serious results. My thanks to Curt who provided me with step-by-step/ color-specific tips on how to capture exquisite photos [of my solid black E.R.A. Cobra], and thus stir the attention of distant buyers such as Martin.
Curt absolutely knows what he’s talking about when it comes to using a digital camera to photograph your Cobra.

Dear Cobra Country:
Mark my Superformance #0953 SOLD!
My Cobra stayed in the Atlanta area but the photos did sway the new owner to come take a look, as he was looking for a different color and didn’t think he would like a white reptile until he saw my photos. He said he kept clicking back & forth and decided to take a look in person!
My recommendation to future Cobra sellers: listen carefully to every word Curt imparts about photographing your Cobra—regardless of how good (with your camera) you think you are. His advice focuses on real, prospective Cobra buyers and will pay you big dividends.

1 June 2009
Dear Cobra Country:
Mark that splendid black Backdraft Cobra #327 SOLD!
There is no doubt that the advice your site provides on using your digital camera to capture really professional-quality photos is what expedited my selling my Cobra. Almost every caller commented on how gorgeous my Cobra is... even though all that they had to judge from were those photos from my little Kodak digital camera.
I received two offers from out-of-town folks who only saw my photographs—said offers subject, if they desired, to coming and seeing my car in person. My good photos would not have been there had I not followed the detailed instructions provided on your web site (and in Curt's specific advice on photographing my black car prior to finalizing the ad).
Ultimately the fellow who bought it drove up from Georgia (over 900 miles away) with a bank check and a car trailer attached to his vehicle—all ready to purchase based entirely upon the photographs on my Prestige Showcase page.
Thanks again for your help with my Prestige Showcase page and for having a site which is so well known and respected in the Cobra community—it is far-and-away the #1 place to put your Cobra up for sale.
All the best,
Mike Giannetto

Within 30 minutes of the time my Prestige Showcase went up on Cobra Country I got my first response! I received approximately 40 responses in the 10 days or so my Prestige ad ran before it sold.
In that time I had received four full-price offers: two from within the U.S., one from New Zealand and one from Germany... all sight-unseen except for my good photographs, which I credit largely to Curt’s Cobra photography tips.
I even received responses from two Cobra admirers who just wanted to let me know how beautiful they think my car is!
With best regards,

30 January 2009
Dear Cobra Country:
Mark my beautiful black Lone Star Cobra Sold!
A very nice fellow Cobra enthusiast from Salt Lake City flew in and purchased my car, then proceeded to drive it all the way back to Utah!
Many thanks to Cobra Country's ‘magic touch’: I had already advertised my Cobra in several publications (magazines and newspapers) and other websites, with no response... it was all a considerable waste of money.
On CobraCountry
I received many responses from serious Cobra shoppers.
I credit my sale not only to CobraCountry's enormous audience of Cobra
enthusiasts, but even more to Curt's Cobra Photography Tips.
My buyer flew all the way here from SLC (and purchased my Cobra) due
in large part to my good pictures that persuaded him to come and take
a closer look.
I advise anyone who has a Cobra to sell to listen carefully to Curt's advice about how to photograph your car... he knows what he's talking about!

Regards,
Michael Rudnick
Long Island, New York
(Editor: now, take a look at just one of the good photos that helped get Michael’s buyer's attention!)
Curt's personal comment: See how well Mike's 1) radiator and cooling fans, 2) his red paint, and 3) his wheels, tires and sidepipes are properly and brightly lit up. That's because he took my advice seriously and set his camera to "forced flash," so that it worked on every shot. Without forcing his flash this beautiful image would've been a dark and unattractive/ birdcage-liner shapshot.
You might also notice that there's a 'V' for 'victory' image right atop his driver-side fender! //:=)

I am very happy with the way my text and my photos were expertly edited and displayed, and very happy with the results I got.
There are lots of places you can advertise your serpent for sale—but Cobra Country is the most effective place for you to get your Cobra in front of serious buyers!

Even though my ad has been up for only a week, I’ve already had to turn away other serious callers.
IMHO, CobraCountry is the place to go if you’ve got a Cobra to sell—or buy!
Thanks again!

Dear Cobra Country:
Mark my beautiful blue Superformance Cobra SOLD!
The deal is now officially done. I had received a deposit almost two weeks ago, but the buyer was awaiting an inspection when I returned from vacation this week.
I was delighted with the response I got from CobraCountry. About 20+ respondents in the first 2 two weeks and about 6 were very serious inquiries. Had I not been a man of my word on the first fellow who put down his deposit, there were at least three more fellows champing at the bit to fly or drive here to meet or beat his offer!
Color me ‘Very Happy’ with my CobraCountry results!!

Mark my Classic Roadsters Cobra SOLD!!
It has actually been sold for awhile, but I was in Russia for a few weeks and couldn't arrange delivery until now.
The new owner lives in Madison—60 miles away—but was at his cottage 15 miles from my home when he stumbled upon my ad. He couldn't believe his good fortune to find the car he wanted so nearby, but we never would have made the connection without Cobra Country.
I received numerous inquiries from all over the country and as far away as Germany. I've enjoyed corresponding with many knowledgeable and interested Cobra fans who frequent Cobra Country.
Thank you for all your help and advice.

Spectra Blue Factory Five Cobra SOLD! Eight days ago I
phoned Curt during lunch and arranged an ad for my Cobra. It went "live"
around 2:45 pm and I had an email at 7:00 pm followed by a
follow-up phone call and "closed-deal" by 10 pm all in
the same day. In aggregate we had 4 serious offers,
10-12 emails from all over the country and countless phone calls. Cobracountry
is extraordinary! The car is on its way to Utah as I write
this. He actually wanted to fly down and pick it up last Saturday but
it was Father's Day and I was out of town. That would have meant
the listing, sale and delivery all occurring in under 50 hours... not
bad! Doug Wonderly

the
Snake and the Stallion In 1962 Enzo Ferrari ruled the tracks of Europe. Then along came Carroll Shelby and his hot rodders. No one had seen anything like the Cobra... or the war that followed. Ten years in the making, this fast-paced epic double DVD is the definitive, most comprehensive film ever made of those golden years. Aside from original interviews with all the participants, there's stunning footage of the original races alongside beautiful newly-filmed replays with the original cars (Ferrari GTO's, 250 SWB's, Cobras and Daytona Coupes). This British production is a veritable must-see video for Cobra and Ferrari fans everywhere! Note: a rather portentous soundtrack cadence will start rolling as soon as this page opens—so pre-adjust your sound accordingly!

skin [most reproductions feature a glass tub bonded to the inner body
with the entire unit bolted to the chassis—the floor atop the frame].
Conversely, the CanAm coachwork has all-aluminum inner panels that
are riveted and bolted to the chassis, thus becoming an integral/structural
part of the chassis. The steel floorpan is welded to the bottom
of the frame, gaining you about 3" of headroom—a big advantage
if you're over 6 ft. tall, plus it serves to lower the car’s
center-of-gravity. The aluminum transmission tunnel is removable to facilitate

3 May/August
1 June 2009: Mark that splendid
black Backdraft Cobra #327 SOLD! There is no doubt that
the advice your site provides on using your digital camera to capture
really professional-quality photos is what expedited my selling my Cobra.
Almost every caller commented on how gorgeous my
Cobra is... even though all that they had to judge from was my photos.
I received two offers from out-of-town folks who only saw my photographs—said
offers if they desired, to coming and seeing
my car in person. Ultimately the fellow who bought it drove up
from Georgia (over 900 miles away) with a bank check and a car trailer
attached to his vehicle—all ready to purchase based entirely upon
the photographs on my Prestige Showcase page. Thanks again for
your help with my Prestige Showcase page and for having a site
which is so well known and respected in the Cobra community—it is
far-and-away the #1 place to put your Cobra up for sale. All the best,
Mike Giannetto

Entrepreneur and early Internet pioneer Larry Clarke has been providing invaluable advice and strategy planning for CobraCountry since the early 1990s. In fact, it was Larry who then owned <foothill.net>, the internet service provider in the Sacramento commutershed, and who prevailed upon us—while the Internet was still in its infancy—to set up and cultivate a website to promote and champion Cobra and GT40 replicas. We wound up debuting our first "Complete Guide to Cobra Replicas" at the same time we launched CobraCountry.com. The rest, as you know, is history. Larry has just this week put up his 58-foot/ twin-Volvo–powered Navigator Pilot House yacht—‘Country Lore’—for sale. So folks, for the first time in history, you're treated to a link to an ad not for a motorcar, but for a motor floater. |

4.6 DOHC carbureted modular engine with a stand-alone computer to optimize
performance with the carbureted 4.6, Griffin aluminum radiator
with an electric fan. Other mechanical details: Ford AOD trans
from P/A Transmissions, 8.8" Ford rear end, 4-wheel disc brakes,
and new 18" American Racing Shelby Vintage racing wheels fitted
with new Toyo rubber. In the cockpit: Ididit steering
column, Autometer Pro Lite Series instrument gauges (all installed
and fully operational), Lokar emergency brake, premium B&M
shifter. This is a complete running drivin' machine—the only things
you need to do to complete the project is the bodywork/paint prep, paint
and some minor mechanical stuff [the doors need to be fitted and installed,
along with the hood and deck lid. And the upholstery work must be completed].
It was assembled by (universally-respected) Bill Emerson of Emerson
Motorsports in Redding, California. Bill repositioned the engine back
(for both balance and performance purposes), reworked the front &
rear suspension, adapted the transmission tunnel, ran the wiring, and
executed some expert tweaking and stiffening of the chassis. With Bill's
expert chassis tweaking it has a just-about-perfect 50/50 weight
distribution, so it will handle quite well. With the extended (98")
wheelbase it's especially well-suited for taller drivers & occupants.

touches. BIG

14 January/April
30 January 2009: Mark my
beautiful black Lone Star Cobra Sold! A very nice fellow Cobra
enthusiast from Salt Lake City flew in and purchased my car, then proceeded
to drive it all the way back to Utah! Many thanks to Cobra Country's
‘magic touch’: I had already advertised my Cobra in several
publications (magazines and newspapers) and other websites, with no response...
it was all a considerable waste of money. On CobraCountry I received
many responses from serious Cobra shoppers. I credit my sale not only
to CobraCountry's enormous audience of Cobra enthusiasts, but even more
to Curt's Cobra Photography Tips. My buyer flew all the way here
from SLC (and purchased my Cobra) due in large part to my good pictures
that persuaded him to come and take a closer look. I advise anyone who
has a Cobra to sell to listen carefully to Curt's advice about how to
photograph your car... he knows what he's talking about! Gary Garcia

Cobra You may think that all you need to know to take good photos of your Cobra is 1) how to turn on your camera, 2) how to aim it in the general direction of your serpent, 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 justifiably so. Photojournalist Curt Scott's latest revision has been carefully reworked just for you! It’s a priceless investment of your time... on a single page, it’ll take you only about 30 seconds to print out and about 6 minutes to read. So read it and heed it!
