Do your homework!!

My wife and I went to the replica and foreign show in Carisle, PA in 1994, we went to Run 'n Gun in Norwalk, OH in 1996 and a Shelby/Ford meet in Tulsa, OK in 1997.

At Carlise, a beautiful red Contemporary roadster was a prize. The car later burned. It was good to compare ERA, Unique, Everett-Morrison, Johnex and Midstates/Shell Valley as well as others were there, too.

The Run 'n Gun was really good to see the cars in action. One of the first Supeformance cars was there. It was yellow with a 460 Ford crate 535hp CJ engine.

In 1997, we went to Shelby/Ford event in Tulsa and Hallett Road Course.
We saw cars in action again.

Eventually, I bought a Backdraft Roadster in 2010. This was a new car, on eBay, sight unseen. I relied on Internet Research and have been well pleased.

I have had a fuel line leak and a broken shifter weld. That is why a used car might be better. The small things will be sorted out.

I wanted a Cobra since I was fourteen and my Backdraft was my 58th birthday present.

Have fun shoping. I "shopped" for forty-four years.
