Hey guys, thanks for the responses. It is funny you mention the Cobra. The car prior to this project was a FFR cobra. It was a rare (25 made) carbon fiber body car, with a 1993 Mustang Cobra as the donor. I had it for 9 years and was a really cool car, but I wanted a project....and someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse.




Next project....not sure. I have blue blood, so I'd like to stick to Fords and I was thinking of going older and doing a rat rod kinda thing, but a nice car with painted rust or faded graphics (Shelby American Automobile delivery truck?)




If you really want to know what I sold the car for, send me a PM.

Cobras are a timeless design, and you can build them uniquely to suit your taste.
I was at the MOCA show too. I saw that, it was nice. Did you see the red Pantera next to it? That was cool. My car was parked over past the old police car on the other side. The 65 got an award. Did you have your fastback there? I don't think I saw it?

I like the idea of something like this. What I really want to get someday is a 56 Ford truck kinda like this one.

tx65,

I actually went and saw/drove a 1949 pickup for sale. It had a 289/C4. Pretty rough but it drove. I could see how this body style could look cool, but I have to agree with you that the mid 50's that you posted above appeals to me more.

If it was me and money was no problem i would put a new better frame under it so it will ride better and maybe airbag it.

Shelby AC Cobras are WAY overplayed. I see at least 5 of them at every car show I attend.

50's Ford F-100's are awesome. Not sure if anyone say the Expendables but West Coast Customs built a really nice one for that movie that was not overdone at all.

I saw them building it on the HD channel. It was an awesome car.
