Default Some info

It is titled as a 1980 "cobra" (will check frame for the BRI stuff)
The guy I got it from told me a story that it was a Butler kit.
He said that Butler was Carrol Shelbys crew chief and then started doing his own. Said he filed bankruptcy and the judge made him finish the car but poorly. I think the sellar meant the guy building the kit not Butler as I have done some googleing. Now to the car.
When I got it it had....
Matching #'s FE427 high rise man. with auto trans
Halibrand knock offs
Jag rear end with inboard discs
Coil overs (Koni I think)
Rack & pinion (not known)
Smiths guages
The wood steering wheel (Molito or something)
3 wipers
Had 0 miles on it

Sat for a while and had Doug Jenkins finish it out. I was ass raped and the car
was still not close to being wright.
I added new paint Candy blue with white stripes (SC style)
Roll bar
Tremec 5 speed
Hood scoop (didn't have original)
Visors & wings
They supposedly reinforced the frame in the rear end area drag links
I want this to be trick and correct.
Has been sitting for 5 + years and might sell or make it right with CC's help.
Thanks,Mike
