Mysticle. What's better "chevy or ford". That's kinda like your question. There are a lot of kits out there, and companies that sell only "turnkey minus" like Backdraft and Superformance. CSX, Shelby American made replicas, big$$$$, Kirkham Brothers Aluminum bodied replicas, outstanding engineering, georgeous cars, they have a sale on right now on 427 rollers for $50,000 (approximately) and you add engine & trans. Then, ERA in New Britain, Ct. in my opinion the best chasis in the business, exact replica bodies and details of the original exteriors and interiors (passenger compartment, trunk and engine compartment), you can buy the component car and assemble yourself, or order a turnkey or turnkey minus; Superformance from South Africa, very consistent high quality, turnkey minus; Unique Motorcars in Gadsen, Al., build it yourself or order a turnkey. Very high quality component car. Then there is Backdraft, Hurricane. Check out Cobra Country for details on used cars - this will get you more familiar with car details and market prices. They offer a guide on Cobra Buying, get one - it's a good read of the major replicar manufacturers. Then plan some visits to dealers and factories. You need to get educated then form your own opinion of who makes what YOU want. Have fun. Rickd
