Medical issues and age have erased that dream, and now I have absolutely identified the frame pieces I am still sheltering some Cobra parts I've acquired over the years while I was dreaming.
I have a complete 289ci engine, not hipo but very early 3A3 block 5 bolt, as originally assembled, single loop roll bar with forward brace, two fiberglass footboxes, and front end clip.
To old to take on a 289ci project car, I will be selling all to gain some space in my garage and to appease the MRS.

You know, you could buy a Superformance 289 and install your engine into it. Because it's a leaf spring car, you can have the fun/feel of driving an original at a fraction of the price.
