Wow sits on Goodyear race radials!!!! Not!!! Sorry, To much money! Mark

Just regular "Billboards" not radials. I'm just curious if Bill Elliott comes with the car too, I mean for that price...

Thats what I was making fun of ! They said it sits on Billboard radials!!! They don't make radial Billboards! I sick of these so called "dealers" that don't know what they are talking about ! Mark

Ha! I gotcha. I should have read the whole description myself. I even made a double post to get my point across

. Yes, I agree with dealers and their false descriptions. I had a realtor sell my house once with a fireplace, sun room and a sewer hook up. I didn't have any of those things! Just amazing sometimes! Regards, Matt

Matt, It sure would be nice if people knew what they were talking about or didn't just plain lie!!! Mark

Bottom line is, it is a fiberglass body replica. No door straps and sway bars.

Overpriced?

Yes, by about 100K!

Really???

I was referring to these photos, showing the hood and door skins mounted on tubes just the original ally cars.

I have not read this entire post, but I do have the last Ernie Elliott motor that was contracted for the Bill Elliott Shelby Cobra. This program was done by Bill Andrews in Freeport NY. I do not know if this car is an original in the series.
10 cars contracted, 5-6 built, they are real if they have the CSX numbers and a Elliott Plaque.
I purchased the motor from Bill Andrews and Ernie, and had it shipped to NY. I needed a spare for my historic 1996 Bill Elliott cup car. If anyone is interested in this motor, 0 Miles, all papers, dyno etc. I would consider offers over $20,000
This is one of Ernie Elliott's last Ford Motors before he went to Dodge.
It is the real deal, and I can have the Elliott family verify this!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but it appears a Bill Elliott Cobra is for sale at a Fiat / Chrysler / Jeep dealer in Thornhill, Ontario for $75K + taxes (Canadian $$). At current exchange rates that's just over US$60K (plus taxes, of course).

1965 Ford Shelby One of a kind! Original Bill Elliott #0 collector Edition! 860 hp! SIGNED! Must see convertible Red | NORTH YORK CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT - NEW CAR | Wheels.ca

As you click through the photos in the ad you'll get photos of some BMW interspersed with the Cobra photos. Basic stuff they can't get right - sure leaves an impression about their attention to detail...
