I'm getting close to starting a new project which means I'll be unloading the cobra. I'm wanting to see if there is any interest in buying it as-is. I'm not looking to get rid of it for at least a month, so I'm not putting this in ForSale.. I'm just trying to gauge interest as is so I can decide whether to return it to stock.


For those of you who don't know me here's the details

What kind of mileage does she have?

Leonard

mileage is right up near the top.

How much?

Leonard

I'm thinking 19k. I'd rather NOT put all the effort to returning it to stock and trying to sell all the parts.

whats your daily driver going to be?

Leonard

probably gonna get a small pickup truck initially. Enough to tote around donor parts and the such while I'm doing the kit build. (Plus it cuts insurance costs so I have more free cash for it too). Once the cobra is finished I'll probably get a bigger truck capable of towing it on a trailer.

I am planning on doing a Factory five kit as well...eventually. I will be using a modular cobra as the donor though. They had one at SEMA in November and it was BADA$$! You should hide your Cobra, report it stolen, get the kit, insert your motor, tranny, brakes, IRS, etc... Oh wait, did I just say that outloud? But think about how fast it would be, how well it would handle and stop! Man I am getting excited!

Unfortunately, a modular motor doesn't fit without extensive frame modifications in the FFR. (You have to reduce the size of the footbox among other things -- i'm tall and need the space). You'd need custom j pipes and a million other little things to make it all work. If I had a machine shop in my garage it wouldn't be a big deal, but I don't. Pushrods make cheap power. Modular's are expensive. Plus you get into a bunch of headaches with the eecV computers. (like PATS).


Also, I want to run SCCA AP (which requires a maximum wheel size of 16x10) so I can't use the 13" brembo's.
