Tell him Luke told you to call, maybe we can get a good deal if we order 2

He said they take a '65 or '66 fastback and turn it into a dead on copy. Full frame off restoration made to order. He quoted me about $35 for a raced out version which is what I want. Also, take a look at their website...It really looks like they know what they are doing, have a tremendous amout of experience and give attention to detail nothing short of perfect.
Bad news, I talked to the boys at Cobra Automotive and was quoted "about" 55k for a race ready GT350R clone, and that's with me supplying the car. I thought those prices(35k) sounded to good to be true. My Ford salesman(Ken Yeager) spent over 55k on just the restoration of his GT350 and the car was in good shape to start. I was emailed a sheet from CA, and to build a street car I supplied would be 28K PLUS restoration costs. That is with a 10k street engine. The race engine would be 23k. Add another 2-3k for roll cage and even more cheese for fuel cell and other race parts.

Y'all got this poor boys hopes up and then ***** slapped me back down.
Maybe Toy Collector will take me for a ride in his GT350.
