The original owner had to replace the front bumper due to hitting a dog but the rest of the car has original paint. I get asked a lot if my car has been repainted. I grew up hearing about original fords so I like cars with original paint and matching numbers and so forth. Whats your guys opinion about that hurting price.

Its a ding as its not 100% orig. sounds like someone was sipping on grandpas cough syrup when they "hit the dog" ;)

I have thought about selling it, but it was my first cobra and I have had it 11 years haha. Plus its a great driver even though it gets less than 1000 a year, and if I bought another one it would be a wrapper and thats just not as fun
