Here's a pic of that absorber...
The Cobra one is the top one, it's about 1.5" taller

OK AwakeinAZ we're cool.

BTW I just cruised ebay and saw low mileage gt 500s for as low as 36,000 so now I am way over that price. One day I am goin to miss the forged internals of your motor for sure.

ha ha ha buy high sell low seems to be my motto these days, I really wish I could have waited 2 years and popped for a two year old gt 500 vert for $37k, but nooooo, I had to have it now because I had just sold a perfect 66 GT 350 restomod for $35k that I had worked on for 14 years, and I could not be without my car toy. So I spent $35k on a GT vert and at least $10k on parts and labor (prbly $15 but I am in denial). Anyway I love my fakesnake and god is it fast.
