Default Well made in the USA

You will not go wrong with the Unique. As for comparing it to other manufacturers, try comparing them with like companies. Unique is carefully made one at a time by the Weavers and not in a huge production line. Some people like that others want to build their own. Your choice either way.

No issues at all if broken in properly. Then keep the oil changed as recommended. One of the good things on the Jag rear is it and the disc brakes were built for a 4000 pound car.... with the Cobra's at ~2400 pounds... the rear should be a "none issue".

Whiter,

The Jag Unit that Unique uses is rebuilt by either them or Southern Gear, one of their dealers. Alan and Maurice will spec the rear-end to your suited needs. They built the rear end for my car with a locker and a 3:31 gear ratio as requested. Most of the time I run around on Drag Radials and have never had a problem with the rear end. That said, I do not abuse the IRS by revving the motor up and dumping the clutch. If I get on it from a stand still, I do an off idle start.

As Juan said, Unique builds a very good car, here in America. If you go to their shop you will meet them and their skilled craftsman that work for them.

Justin

After a 5-year hiatus, it's time to bump this thread.... This is my dream car, sitting in my driveway... Unique #2899359.



Still looks immaculate, especially for a car that the Weavers sold way back in 2000. I found this tag up under the dash this past weekend:

Sorry for "hijacking" this thread, but i can't find a separate Unique section to place my question. Does anybody know this amazing Unique? 289 FIA, VIN 9138, La Pine, Oregon

I tried to contact the owner several times, but no response.
Thank you!
