-Cobra classified ads-

• $85 all-text (no photo) classified ad, runs 2 months (appropriate for unbuilt kits, engines, other components)

• $60 classified "Cobra Wanted" ad, runs 3 months ($60 to renew for another 3 months): broadcast to all the Cobra owners what specific Cobra you're searching for, what drivetrain components you desire, and/or what maximum price you're willing to pay.

1. Print out and (carefully) read Curt Scott's Motorcar Photography Tips; then

2. phone Curt (661-251-0806 Pacific Time) and describe your car to him, so he can give you some extra expert tips for photographing your own specific car. Important considerations include: its paint color, the engine compartment, how to best photograph a hard top or soft top, your shooting location, et al.). This advance phone call to Curt will probably pay you big dividends in presenting your Cobra or GT40 to the world;

3. Photograph your car, carefully following Curt's tips. And don't stray away from his tips: if you ignore those tips, all you’ll wind up with is a bunch of birdcage-liner snapshots that’ll scare buyers away; if you follow them to the letter, you'll have captured a batch of superb photographs of your serpent that should attract a throng of buyers;

4. Compose your text; for a "regular" classified/photo ad, keep it all in one paragraph; for a Prestige Showcase page, putting your lists of features and components into columns is just fine. You can use just about any ad you see on CobraCountry's "Cobras For Sale" or "GT40s For Sale" page as a guide to arranging your own descriptive text. Just be sure to keep all the logical items together—for example, everything under the hood belongs together, everything on the chassis & suspension belongs together, everything in the cockpit, and so on.

In a "regular" text/photo ad, try to keep your word count under 250... you'll be charged 20¢/word over 250 words. But you could draft The Great American Novel in fewer than 250 words. There are no limitations on the number of words you can use in a Prestige Showcase ad;

5. Email us your photos and text:

send your text and (4 or 5 megapixel*–sized)
digital images directly to Curt, at:

Curt@CobraCountry.com

*"4 or 5 megapixel" generally translates to images
that range from ±1,900 to ±2,600 pixels wide.

Curt gently recommends that you email him 12 or 15 photos for him to select from (18 to 24 for a Prestige Showcase page); for example 4 or 5 "full car" shots, and 2 or 3 each of: engine, cockpit, and head-on frontal shots. Please don't send 40 or 50 photos—takes way too long to wade through all those photos. And be sure to phone Curt shortly after you've sent your files, just to make sure they made it to him safely.

CAUTION!! Some digital cameras now come with special software to send your images over the Internet, especially Kodak. Apparently this software is often confusing to use (Wonders never cease!), and offers you a choice of resolutions, including "email resolution." This typically results in your sending an ULTRA-LOW-RESOLUTION copy of each of your photos. DON'T USE THAT SETTING--these low-rez/low-quality images are worthless for using in your ad.

Whether you send us your photos using your regular email program, or using your Camera's uploading software, make sure you send us your JPEG images at their full-size/ high resolution, and precisely as they came out of your camera with no cropping, no editing, no downsizing.
