 Front seats look like they might be fabric... I wonder if it's a Euro
 with manual ACC? The lights are Euro, not that that proves anything.

 What's with the saggy rear suspension?

 And, most importantly, what makes it a Cobra? 327 V-8 transplant?
 Carroll Shelby sat in it once? Snakebite supplies in first aid kit
 holder? ;)

Sadly, no.  The seller repeatedly flaked out on me and I finally gave up.

If it were a 240D, they might have confused Shelby with Callaway.

When I spotted that one, I figured that it had a Ford 302 in it.  Maybe, 
it's got vacuum leaks that make it hiss like a Cobra?

I am dying with curiosity---just waiting for the seller to respond to
my emails so I can go see it!  (Don't get me started about people who
post CL ads and then don't answer their phone or email...)
