This is one of the best spf's i'e seen. Although i would prefer a fe motor, this roush motor is very nice, the stacked injection would also be better.

the price is too high, like most spf's for sale, so if the seller would work with you, it would be a very nice car to have.

Highlights-

color
quality build
great motor & drive train
(510 horsepower and 489 lbs./ft. Of torque)
original style gauges "reverse speedo ect"
oil cooler
rivits on hood
shelby autograps (if that turns your crank, $100 +)
chrome coolant tank
clean/organized engine bay
aluminum flywheel
tremec 5-speed transmission
wilwood disc brakes
fully independent front & rear suspension
bilstein coil-over shocks
trigo wheels
real leather seats.
Heater
soft-top with side curtains
tonneau cover
car cover

i would be a happy buyer of this cobra. The only change i would make (in the supplied photo) are the side pipes. Looks like the coating is either sprayed bad from the start or has burned off making them dull.
