First off. The car did sell. Auction didn't go as I hoped. Pretty sure I got scammed.
SunDude - sorry I didn't get to meet you. From what my son tells me I think we could of talked Cobras for all afternoon.
Haywood - Is there much of a following here for Aurora Cars? This car I just sold was 1 of 2 Cobras that I had. The way the Aurora car was done always bugged me. As I said earlier I believed the car could of been better.
Anyway to prove my point ( noone really cared except me) I bought an Aurora in 1993. Totally disassembled it to the bare chassis. Sent the chassis to CSC and had them extend the side rails so that the floor could be flat and the put a dropped floor in under the pedals.
I then sold the Aurora body to Johnex and rebodied the Aurora with a 289 FIA body.. The FIA body is 6" wider than the slabside (427 is 10" wider)
Since the tires stuck out past the body 1/2" and the standard offset wheels are 2 1/2" = 3" x 2 car sat perfect. Was a nice car. Friend of mine still owns it.
But I have several parts from the original Aurora. I need to clean up my garage.
