You can mark my black & gold Classic Roadsters Cobra SOLD! Gone to a new owner in Philadelphia!
I should tell you that I received numerous compliments on my car, and I could not have done it without your site's expert photography tips. It's also worth noting that I received numerous serious inquiries from international buyers (Canada, Germany, Australia, Switzerland, Dubai... just to name a few).
No other advertising medium I used came close to providing the selling assistance, international reach or quality of inquiries that I got from Cobra Country.

You can mark my baby (my Guardsman Blue Superformance #SPO1547) SOLD!
Gone south to a happy new owner in Blowing Rock, North Carolina... and only a couple of days after my ad went up on CobraCountry!
They say that money can't buy you love, but in my case a couple hundred bucks and change for my ad netted me an experienced, steadfast friend (Curt) who guided me every step of the way through the process. And further thanks to him, Sandy and I have many great photographs to remember that sleek driving machine by.
Thanks much!

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.

In the brief time it was up I received inquiries from (get this!) New Jersey, South Carolina, Washington state, California, two from Virginia and one from the middle east! And those are just the ones whom I asked where they're located!
Talk about 'blanket reach' to the Cobra industry!
Many thanks!

You can mark our Indigo Blue Superformance Cobra SOLD! Gone to a lucky new owner down in Newport Beach!
I was promptly contacted by several serious inquirers, and my blue beauty was basically sold within four days after my Prestige Showcase ad went up on CobraCountry. Your site's blanket coverage of the Cobra industry has been demonstrated once again!
Oh! And you can color me the latest champion of your premise that good photographs make all the difference in marketing a Cobra!
Many thanks!

19 March 2013
Dear Cobra Country:
You can mark my Egyptian Orange hot-rodded Cobra SOLD! Gone to a lucky (and elated!) new owner in Denver, Colorado.
This is essentially the 4th time my sleek serpent has sold on CobraCountry... only the first 3 sales last season fell through due to a string of fluke derailments having nothing to do with the car.
But it was scooped up w/o a hitch within only a couple of weeks after I started up my ad back up for this year's spring 'roadster season.'
Many thanks for Cobra Country's effectiveness in connecting Cobra buyers with Cobra sellers!

Dear Cobra Country:
You can mark that Gunmetal Gray Metallic B&B Cobra SOLD! Headed for faraway Switzerland!
Kathy and I not only connected with a true Cobra aficionado (who flew here to see and drive the car), but gained a wonderful new friend as well. Stephan (we share the same first name!) put our Cobra through its paces and promised to do the same in the Swiss and Italian Alps.
All the while we had another serious buyer waiting in the wings in Texas; we had to let him know that the next stop for our gray ghost is way up in the Swiss Alps.
Many thanks to your site's celebrated 'market reach,' and especially to your photography tips. I followed Curt's tips as closely as I could, and my photos inspired a Cobra enthusiast in distant Switzerland to fly in and see and test drive and purchase my car.
Color us all 'happy campers'!

15 March 2013
Dear Cobra Country:
You can mark Superformance #SPO2815 SOLD! It took just over 24 hrs., funds wired and received on Wednesday.
Shipper picked up today (5 days after my ad went up). Great buyer in sunny California bought site-unseen based only on my photos. This is the second Cobra that I've sold (for all practical purposes within 24 hrs.) on Cobra Country.
I've been flooded with calls all week. I had two backup offers and both buyers were extremely disappointed that they missed out. Everyone complimented me on how gorgeous my car is!! Curt's photo tips and his follow-up assistance sold the car as much as the car itself did.
A huge THANK-YOU!! I quote the buyer: "It's evident from the effort you put into your photos that the car must be in great condition."
My advice to Cobra sellers is to follow your photo tips without exception... preferably with a good camera. Bottom line, as you know all the writing in the world is worthless without great photos.
ONCE AGAIN A HUGE, HUGE THANK YOU!!! Not only for selling my Cobra but the whole process of coaching me on my photos. I don't know what it is a about Cobra guys but I never met a bad one.

You can mark my gorgeous Guardsman Blue E.R.A. Cobra SOLD!
It sold in less than a month on your site; in that brief period I received about 12-15 inquiries from all over, at least 4 or 5 of which were serious [including one from France!]. But the lucky new owner [who actually first contacted me shortly after my Prestige Showcase page ad went up] is in out there on the Left Coast, in the San Francisco Bay area.
Yet further evidence of CobraCountry's celebrated 'global reach'! My thanks to your site's effectiveness in connecting Cobra buyers to Cobra sellers!
John Carre

Here are
those words of wisdom once again:
good amateur photography such as those John employed will play
a big role in selling your serpent. Snapshots are for lining
your birdcage.
Curt Scott

Dear Cobra Country:
Mark my Shelby Cobra CSX4990 SOLD! It's going to Australia.
The lucky new owner saw the car on your website and flew here to meet it in person. Where else can a private owner have access to a potential Cobra owner in Victoria, Australia?
My thanks to your site's great resources (in particular, CobraCountry's self-evident 'market reach' and Curt's photography tips) for helping to connect this very distant buyer to my beautiful blue serpent!
It all came down to those pictures—that's what really got him to fly halfway around the world to buy my Cobra!
John Mowry
Carmel, California
You've
heard me impart this advice before: good amateur photography such
as John's will play a big role in selling your serpent. Snapshots
are for lining your birdcage.
Curt Scott

Dear Cobra Country:
You can mark my silver/red Backdraft serpent SOLD!
My only quibble is that it sold TOO fast—I wanted to keep it around while my new serpent was being finished. What will I drive in the meantime?
Fact—my car sold in less than 24 hours to its new happy owner who lives only 2 hours from me in Pennsylvania.
I waited to let you know until today because the sale wasn't "technically" complete until the new owner worked everything out on his end. But aside from those fleeting distractions, my silver serpent sold in less than a day.
Thx!! Your Cobra-less friend,
Gary Bowman
Voorhees, New Jersey

Dear Cobra Country:
You can mark my Onyx Black Backdraft Racing Cobra (and my nice Bendron Titan enclosed trailer) SOLD! And only 9 days after my Prestige ad went up on your site.
They're now headed for the stable of a fine fellow Cobra enthusiast (and quite lucky new owner) in Chicago. He first contacted me only 3 days or so after my ad went up.
In the 9 days my ad was up on your site, I got serious responses from all over much of the nation, including enquiries from Kansas City, Texas, Louisiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and other places I don't remember.
Curt told me my car would move quickly, and he was right! Everyone commented on how gorgeous my Cobra is, their judgement based entirely on those good photographs.
And many thanks for CobraCountry's legendary 'market reach'!

Dear Cobra Country:
I'm disappointed... it took me a WHOLE WEEK to sell my beautiful Prism Red Backdraft Cobra on CobraCountry!
Just kidding of course. I really did sell it in one week and best of all, the buyer lives only an hour's drive from me, so I won't have to ship the car anywhere.
Your "reach and resources" and your spot-on Cobra photography instructions really worked; I will highly recommend your site to anyone seeking to sell his serpent.
Thanks again and you can mark my Cobra "SOLD!"

Gone to a new owner way out in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Here's how Curt's insistence on my following his tips to take good photographs paid off for me: I received about 25 responses from all over... including as far away as Saudi Arabia! I had two other serious prospective buyers who just didn't get their deposit to me in time to head off my Utah buyer purchasing my car.
Cobra Country rocks!

You can mark my conspicuously gorgeous red E.R.A. Cobra SOLD! Gone to a worthy and discerning new owner in Delaware!
I got responses from all over, from here in New Jersey all the way to Texas!
Let me say this: I followed your site's detailed "Cobra Photography Tips" to the letter; as a result I got lots of comments on how beautiful my Cobra is—and among them was the buyer who scooped it up.
I had also posted it on eBay and on a 'free posting' club site, and I got no response at all other than a bunch of tire-kickers. CobraCountry is the only place to go if you're a serious Cobra seller... or buyer.

You can mark my Cloisonne Blue Superformance Cobra SOLD! Gone to a fine Cobra enthusiast in Italy... who tells me he has purchased other fine Cobras from CobraCountry as well!
Franco was one of the first inquirers in the first few days, so really it actually sold very quickly.
Let me especially mention your Cobra photography tips: you're spot-on correct in emphasizing the importance of good photos... one has little chance of seizing the favorable attention of a prospective Cobra buyer as far away as Europe without photographs that really capture the beauty of your car.
So please mark my Cobra sold, since I'm tiring of answering inquiries about it.
Again, thanks!

You can mark my Blue E.R.A. Cobra SOLD!
It actually sold within days after my Prestige Showcase page went up, but I've been so busy I didn't let you guys know. So I continued getting serious responses long after it was off to its new owner.
I received about two dozen responses from all over the map, of which at least a dozen were very serious. I wish I'd had more E.R.A. Cobras to sell on your site!
Curt gets my highest praise for his Cobra Photography Tips... everyone marveled over how gorgeous my Cobra is, based only on my photos.
Many thanks!

You can mark that side-oiler–propelled Blue Pearl E.R.A. beauty SOLD! Gone off to Wisconsin.
All credit goes to Cobra Country! I got about two dozen inquiries from all over the place. Curt advised us that our good photos would quite likely result in our beautiful E.R.A. selling long-distance and sight-unseen, and that's exactly what happened.
The two fine fellows (father and son) who purchased it didn't see the car in person until they came down from Wisconsin to pick it up. It'll provide them with years of driving thrills!
Many thanks!

Curt was certainly correct. My black Backdraft Racing Cobra sold to a first-time Cobra owner within 5 days of placing the advertisement on your CobraCountry website! The lucky new owner drove his Cobra out of state this morning to its new home in Redondo Beach, California.
And... also within those five days... I had two other full-price offers for my Cobra!
Your photography tips for “dipsticks” and the time Curt spent educating me on how to properly use my digital camera for best results produced a really accurate and "eye candy" presentation of my car.
Your website provides a valuable resource for Cobra buyers and sellers. Thank you so much for your guidance in marketing my Cobra—a super car with a new, thrilled owner.

Chalk me up as a (converted) true believer in capturing and using good photographs to market your Cobra!

Dear Cobra Country:
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I found the Cobra of my dreams on CobraCountry a few weeks ago. I'm in northern California and that beautiful, Roush-equipped silver Superformance Cobra was in Houston, Texas.
My Cobra arrived a few days ago, and everything about the car is just as it was portrayed. It's even more drop-dead gorgeous than I expected!
Not only was the description about the Cobra accurate and comprehensive, but the photographs were so good that I was confident to purchase it without traveling to Houston to examine it in person. The seller, Andrew Lees, assured me that it was due to your site's photography tips that his photographs worked out to his (and my) advantage.
And I'd like to extend my gratitude to Curt for his assistance in the entire purchase process. Everything went like clockwork, in large part due to Curt's expertise and willingness to devote time to make sure all went smoothly for both of us.
Thanks again,

mark Superformance #SPO2815 SOLD! It took just over 24 hrs., funds
wired and received on Wednesday. Shipper picked up today (5 days after
my ad went up). Great buyer in sunny California bought site-unseen based
only on my photos. This is the second Cobra that I've sold (for all practical
purposes within 24 hrs.) on Cobra Country. I've been flooded with
calls all week. I had two backup offers and both buyers were extremely
disappointed that they missed out. Everyone complimented me on how gorgeous
my car is!! Curt's photo tips and his follow-up assistance sold the car
as much as the car itself did. A huge THANK-YOU!! I quote the buyer: "It's
evident from the effort you put into your photos that the car must be
in great condition." My advice to Cobra sellers is to follow
your photo tips without exception... preferably with a good camera.
Bottom line, as you know all the writing in the world is worthless without
great photos. ONCE AGAIN A HUGE, HUGE THANK YOU!!! Not only for selling
my Cobra but the whole process of coaching me on my photos. I don't know
what it is a about Cobra guys but I never met a bad one. Pat Fultz

aside from those fleeting distractions, my silver serpent sold in

Kirkham
Motorsports 'Steet Version' 427 Cobra, KMP216'S'.

coveted "SB-100" (California Senate Bill 100)—that
means no smog certification, no California registration hassles for
the life of the car! As a street car, KMP216'S'

made (as per the most recent Cobra Registry). Under the

You can mark my Bright
Green/Mecca Pearl Contemporary
Cobra SOLD! Gone (as a wedding
present) to a wonderful bride & groom
in northern Virginia! First thing I would
like to say is thanks personally to Curt
Scott of Cobra Country. Curt is reason
my car sold at the price it did, when
it did, to the young bride-to-be it did.
Curt called me up
after I sent him my first round of photos
and gently informed me "We have
to talk." I became—with
Curt's guidance—an expert at
photographing Cobras. Curt's Cobra photography
tips could make a professional photographer
out of a blind man. His pointers are quite
straightforward, and above all impart
the proper methods to shoot these cars.
My Cobra was selected and purchased entirely
because my second round of photos really
captured its beauty. The sale went
flawlessly. From the first contact with
Cobra Country, the photography lesson,
the buyers' inquiries and every other
aspect of this sale was not only professional,
it was a joy. My car went for the price
I wanted to some absolutely wonderful,
appreciative people. All of the guidance
I encountered from Cobra Country was expert
and spot-on for marketing and selling
a high-priced motorcar over the internet.
I cannot recommend Cobra Country more
highly. I was even invited to the wedding,
as was Curt. Now that's how you market
and sell and buy a car. See ya' in Gettysburg,
Curt. Doc Fallon

Photojournalist Curt Scott's latest revision has been carefully reworked just for you!

Firefox
browser
Update (23 August 2007): We had several folks report to us
that certain versions of the Mozilla Firefox web browser
do some strange things on CobraCountry. Specifically, images (such
as the Cobra photos on this page) replace CobraCountry's main window/
frameset, instead of opening in a new window as our code mandates;
when you close the photo, CobraCountry of course goes "poof!"
and disappears. We received this 'fix' from
Cobra aficionado Marty Shorey, of Milton Florida: "About
the Firefox issue; I use Firefox with Mac and don't
have a problem. You can set Firefox's preferences under "tabs"
to "new page open in new tab" (or to "in a new window"); FF's new
default is "in a new tab." Then when you're done drooling over the
photograph, just close the picture "tab" and the browser reverts back
to the tab that had CobraCountry open. It works easy for me. It's
all about tabs, tabs, tabs." Curt's closing comments:
you can of course set FF to open "in a new window," which I prefer,
since I continually forget about "tabs" and close Firefox's
entire window, expecting to be closing only the photograph—only
to have CobraCountry go 'poof!'. Whatever your own preference,
thank you, Marty, for resolving this dilemma.
