Well - thanks for the input. Apparently quite a few of you know of this car. I could not really get a handle on your feeling concerning the kit (good, bad, or indifferent), the V-10 transplant (yea I know, 'no carbs'), etc. I would never buy off E-bay in that $ range without an inspection but, I am working in Columbus for a couple of months and if it does not sell maybe I'll bounce over one state and look at it.
I really am in the mood for a car - this feeling has been fermenting for some time. A pumped up 351 makes alot of sense to me. I am burned out on early '60's MOPARS and looking to 'step' up. BTW - I have a 7200 mile factory 426 cross-ram Belvedere 6-passenger wagon (needing a restore but no rust) that I will put on the block to ease the pain of purchasing my Cobra. This wagon is on SpeedVision and in Hot Rod mag - both times being beat by a Pontiac at the Winter Nationals.........must have been a traction problem).
Anyway, are there any solid feelings about the Hunter kit as versus other big name manufacturers - you guys are all such gentlemen that I know I'll have to read between the lines.

Thanks again for the input.
