The episode begins with Mike finding a 1965 Shelby Cobra replica for sale in California.

Mike and Edd start by inspecting the car's body to make sure it is free from any major damage or rust. They then move on to inspect the engine, which has a few leaks and needs some new seals. Edd sets to work on fixing these issues, while Mike starts to work on the car's interior.
The interior of the Cobra is in good condition but needs a few upgrades to make it more comfortable. Mike decides to install a new sound system and replace the seats with more supportive racing seats. He also installs a new steering wheel and a few other upgrades to make the car more modern.

After a few days of hard work, the car is finally ready to be resold. Mike and Edd take the Cobra to a local car show to see what kind of interest they can generate. The car is a hit, and after a few test drives, they find a buyer willing to pay their asking price.
With the sale complete, Mike and Edd reflect on their experience working on the Shelby Cobra. They discuss the challenges they faced during the restoration process and the joy they felt when they finally got the car running smoothly again. The episode ends with the Cobra driving off into the sunset, ready for a new owner to take it on new adventures.
