Planning on finally selling the car. It just doesn't get used as much as it should. Bob Shane, a professional aircraft photographer that I know is coming over tomorrow.
Look for it on Curt's site.

Good luck with your sale!! I finished my Exact early this year and had a couple people want to buy it already so thinking you will have a lot of interest in your car.....

I'm no hurry to sell but it needs to go. GT-40?

Good luck John!
Photo's won't do it justice. It's really something you have to see in real life. Your car needs to be experienced!
If I hear of anyone looking, I'll send them your way.

Haven't seen your car come up on Cobracountry yet, have you changed your mind?

John, just took a look at your tag line and photo gallery. Were you a Rino jock?

I take it that's your car on Cobra Country now...?

*****************
For Sale: 427SC Cobra reproduction by Exact427 and Roger Bullock in Austin, Texas. Rangoon Red (correct single-stage, as per the original)/black upholstery. The BIG Picture: Click Here! This li’l red reptile is a breathtakingly accurate recreation of a Shelby 427SC... as commented to me by a Shelby American appraiser. This is the third serpent produced by Roger; I purchased it from him as a roller with no cockpit appurtenances except seats. Roger's attention to detail is superb. The coachwork is carbon fiber; the carbon fiber is painstakingly wrapped around shaped steel wire on the edges of the wheel wells to closely recreate the rolled-edge appearance of aluminum skin. The entire body weighs only 46 pounds (21 kg), thus significantly boosting this drivin’ machine’s power-to-weight ratio. You also get a (second) racing windscreen taken from a mold from CSX3002. BIG broadside shot: Click Here! Under the hood: original 427 side-oiler bored 0.030” over with steel crank and LeMans rods, Milodon ‘Cheater’ cam drive. 10.1:1 compression (runs on premium pump gas); a gear-reduction starter; racing oil pan by Armando (with electric heater for winter prep). BIG Photo of powerplant: Click Here! Geartrain: billet aluminum flywheel and Centerforce clutch assembly inside of a Lakewood bellhousing, 5-speed gearbox, new Salisbury IRS with Dana 44 gears and Spicer joints. Wilwood brakes. BIG side-grille closeup shot: Click Here! Rolling stock: (6-pin) pin-drive genuine Trigo wheels shod with BFG Radial T/A raised-letter rubber. In the cockpit: original-equipmenet–correct Moto-Lita hardwood-rimmed steering wheel, Autometer gauges (with ‘correct’ reverse speedometer), concealed electrical-system ‘kill’ switch, adjustable seats, carpet and vinyl upholstery by Unique Auto Upholstery in Scottsdale [who rendered that splendid work on Harley Cluxton’s originals including the Super Shelby that sold for $5 million at Barrett Jackson]; two 6V dry-cell batteries (12V system) behind passenger seat. BIG luggage compartment shot: Click Here! Driven 3,000 miles and fully sorted—you’ll get no unpleasant surprises. $75,000 obo. Contact John at (602) 692-5108 MST, or email: JRFoy427@hotmail.com

Excellent. My brother used to fly F-4Es (last active squadron in a fighter variant) then to F-15Es (1st air to air kill with an "E" I believe) now flys F-16s for the AG. I find that amusing because he referred to 16s as "lawn darts" when he was an eagle jock.

I'm retar,,,,uh, retired USAF as well, MSgt though.

Guys,
I saw this car and met John when I was in Phoenix while I was still working. This is easily one of the most beautiful Cobra's that I've ever seen. Great car, painstakingly built, and owned by a terrific guy. If you're in the market for a car and this one is in your budget, it's a no brainer. By all means take the time to go look at it. Want to know what kind of guy John is? When I casually mentioned to him that I had not yet actually driven a Cobra, he just tossed me the keys and had me take it for a spin around the block. No questions, rules, worries - nothing but a smile and an order to go have a god time. Awesome car, awesome guy. Again, if it's within your budget go see it. Take cash, because the first guy to see it will buy it! Good luck, John, and thanks so much for your kindness. I'll never forget the short spin in the car.

Doug
