Looks Like a Nicely Made Factory Five
I don't know how they can sell this for $200k. The scoop alone reduces the price about $300k meaning they would have to pay me $100k just to take it (well, not really)! It does look like a nicely made Factory Five. Anyone know what kit this is?

It looks to me they started with an Everett Morrison. EMs had the "perky butt" well before FFR did.

My EM was built in 1988 and doesn't have anything close to "perky butt"

That is a lot of money on a car that they couldn't even do correct backspacing.
That alone should be in the "will it fit" thread. The answer would have been NO!

It's listed at no reserve. The 130-160,000 euros is just am estimate of the selling price.
I think some buyer is going to get a tremendous bargain on this beast. I bet it goes for less than $100k. Probably much less.

It may not be an original anything , but it's really well done and "Bad Ass". One thing for sure it will get plenty of attention wherever it goes.

I've seen many, toured the factory when it was still in FL, almost bought one. Why do you ask? 
I'm not the only one who thinks it's a EM (see post #3): 1,100 HP Cobra for Sale at RM Paris

It's not a Factory Five. I also say it's an EM, they also have the perky butt, and the hood latches match the EM.

Heck that engine alone should kill the value by at least 100k.........as in I've never seen that done before, but my uncle/daddy put on a those chebbys in his lawn mower, and it done ran like Hell.......yuck.

Definately looks like a FFR trunk lid, but the underhood body gusset for the hood latches is not FFR.
