What kinda of Cobra do I have!!??
HELP!! Hello guys I am new to the club and this is my first post. I have had this car for 5-6 years and have been told its everything from a superformance to a.... fill in the blank. The California title, under make say "SPCNS". A little about the car, 351 winsor bored 40 over has a bm blower 6-71 I think, final compression is 15.6:1 i run 100 avgas usually, 33 degrees btdc is has a tremec 5 speed. The reason I dont think its a Super is it doesnt have the reverse speedo, the dash in general just looks different, but then again is has additional gauges.. Rev limiters etc. So I will try and post some pix that might help in the mean type I would love some imput Thanks John

Welcome, John. Yes pics will most definitely help. Lots of different queues (rollbar shape/angle/height, engine compartment layout, fender shapes, etc.) to help you indentify what car you have.
-Dean P.S. Blown car...wow...any chance it is silver in color? I recall seeing one in silver running a huffer. |
Sounds interesting! Get those pics posted and we'll help you figure it out.

The first 6 digits of the VIN willl answer the question as well, but won't satisfy the perverts here who like drooling over pictures of Cobras. :LOL: Present company included.
|
It is a White & Red one !!! :rolleyes:

Looks like an Excaliber Cobra to me.

Between the hood latch and the shot of the interior passenger door, it looks like it is a Classic Roadster to me.

I think it is a Classic Roadster also. In fact when I first looked at the picture I thought I was looking at my old Cobra except for the engine. Ron |
You're all wrong...It's a continuation replica kit car. ;) :LOL:
|
Looks like a Classic Roadster or Emerson to me.
Where in Ca are you. There are CR's in northern and southern Ca to compare to. |
Terry,
Here is a pictrure of my old Cobra which was built by Emerson using a Classic Roadster mold. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...008_Large_.JPG Ron |

sure is
a Classic Roadster. Excalibur cars had molded hood latches, Classics, metal boxes housed the VW latch.

I know that car. Still looks just as good. |
Case solved: It IS a slightly :) modified Classic Roadsters. The E-Brake boot, the custom dash, the door panels' the inside of the body at the hood bumpers and edgeing, and per Jay especially the hood latch-box is strictly CR's and the latch assembly in its entirety is VW, the roll bar, the seats are custom seats by CR. That just about covers it-Not an Emerson nor an Excaliber. Great Car! Like to a have a ride in that one!

And that's definately not a 6-71 blower. I've actually never seen one that small.
2, 3 or 4-71 is my bet. |
