No expansion tank......very easy to always blow coolant all over the engine compartment.
And how many times must they mention "Ford Shelby Cobra"???? A little bit of search engine trolling?

Maybe I'm confused, but I thought the SPF products were licensed by ol' Shel and were legitimate Shelby "continuation series" cars eligible for registry. If so, I could see the assertion re: Ford Shelby Cobra would be.....um.....sorta accurate, for lack of a better term.
Help me out guys, have I been "mistaken" about this?
Cheers from Dugly!!

Licensed yes, contiuation series? No. But the factory that builds Superformance chassis also builds Shelby's non-aluminum continuation cars.
Confused yet?

In regards to the item for sale, it always make me wonder when they are big on hype and short on the details. No VIN, no chassis number, no real details on the drivetrain, then again, no mention of a convertible top or tonneau cover either.

The SPO number on the front cross member looks to be in the 1600's which would be manufactured in 2003. I don't know about the engine but the rest of the drivetrain is pretty much standard on Superformance.
