    Like the title says, I am considering trading the 65 for an 03/04 Cobra. I would prefer a convertable with minor to no mods.

    Here is a link to the fastback.

    What are your opinions? Is it an even trade as far as $$$ value is concerned? I have a 9 month old and I am looking at 9 more years before he can even ride in the fastback. I would rather have something the whole family can enjoy.

    Thanks for the thoughts and opinions.

    Really tough decision... Personally I'd be torn between the two. Each has its merits, advantages, and disadvantages. What do you think your '65 is worth in its current condition? I know that low mileage unmolested 03/04 'Verts are going for 25K or more these days.

    U.M.

    A very tough decision... However, a newer car is nice because generally nothing is worn out.

    Isn't there some way you can have both?

    The thing the classic has going for it is that it is an appreciating assett. The Cobra (no matter how cool it is) is a money loser for the next 30 years until it is a classic.

    I do have a guy with a 37,000 mile Mystic vert interested. It is either that or a Competition Orange Vert for me to trade. If not one of those, it would have to be pretty special.

    Holy crap. Hello Tyler. Would you keep the Hybrid to balance out the new Cobra?

    I think I am actually keeping the 65.

    As for the Hybrid: I just got my 1st 60MPG tank out of it. It is here to stay :D
