To sell or not to sell?

[shlbsnake]

I am kind of in a pickle and was wanting some other opinions. I have a shelby cobra replica and am debating on to paint it or not. I really like blue and white cobras, mine is silver and blue. I found the exact color I want, a Lexus spectra blue with either white or silver stripes. In order to do thins I feel I need to sell my redlines so I don't take any family funds. This sounds like a good idea to me until I look at these dang little toys then I have second thoughts. Since most of these cars came from you guys I thought I would ask you opinions. I hope this is ok to post here.

Tony,

You've already got a KILLER cobra. And, you've already got a killer redline collection! So, do nothing, and you have the best of both worlds. Then go out and buy one of these below, and you have it all!

The blue on the Cobra is killer,go for it.

The car looks great as is. I would definently wait to paint until the paint was well worn. Enjoy your HWs.

No pickle there for sure. I would like to be in your situation!!!

Repaint it? I'd be very lucky to even own one of them regardless of color. It looks very nice to me!
BTW, it's hard to see the engine badge on fender... does it pack a 427 in it?

I agree with Pat, buy the blue RR Cobra. Leave you full size alone and sell it!!.... to buy more Redlines

Tony,

Nice red 442 dark interior 442 you have pictured.

Regarding painting your Cobra ....I would say no... as your silver blue has way more character and in my opinion looks way cooler than the typical blue whites that are everywhere.

Here is a pic of my 66 Mustang GT vert that was special ordered silver / red from the factory in 1966 . I have never seen another factory silver 1966 Mustang GT convertible. Also ...keep your awesome 442 collection. Definitely the best redline casting out there.
