That is some low miles! I'd first run a Carfax on it and check to make sure it hasn't been wrecked. Make sure the hood is centered correctly, the space bewteen the hood and fender should be the same on both sides. I can't think of anything to check for specifically on the Cobra except for the usual you'd check with any car. I know the 96 models had a cooling problem but not the 97s. You may want to do a compression check just be on the safe side. Good luck with it and post pics if you get it.
