B&b
I did a lot of work on a B&B last year for Mike. Started out just maintenance work, but then he wanted more hp. He had me to change the motor and trannie before we finished.
The only thing I did not like about the B&B was the front upper and lower control arms. They are about an inch to wide for the frame. I have a friend in Ca. with a B&B and he had the same problem. He called Heidts and they made him what he needed. Most of the B&B builders just fixed the problem with more offset in their rims. And I don't like the way the rims looks, but each to his own.
After I finished with Mike's Cobra and took it for a test ride I was very pleased with the way it handled and rode. One of the best if not the best riding Cobras I have been in.
The other problem was the thin pad in the seats but I had a guy redo the seats for under $100.
There is a young guy working in town this summer who bought an unfinished B&B. He painted it and got it running a couple of weeks ago. He emailed me that his seat is to thin and killing his butt. We are going to repad his driver seat tomorrow.
In my opinion the B&B is a great Cobra.
Value and price would largely depend on the motor, trannie, paint, tires and rims. But a great car to start with.
