They do everything from old school to modern. Tell him what you want and he can help you decide what is the best direction to go.

Jay at Vintage built my last car and is going to be building my next also (great guy) I've been talking with him every other day...and I don't want to keep driving him nuts lol. Thanks for all your input! Very helpful

Ps I've been admiring the photos of your car for the past 3 weeks on Jay's website...Bad ass!!! Enjoy!!! My last build was #1012 on jays website FYI

Thanks for the compliment on the car. I know how you feel on the driving them nuts thing. I try not to call them to much but it is hard not to call everyday to find out what is new. The closer the car gets to getting done the harder it gets. Have you ordered your new one yet or are you still figuring out what you want?

I hear ya, I think I did call him every day on my last build… Actually he had my car finished two weeks ahead of schedule, I think he was sick of hearing from me! Haven't ordered it yet but I've priced out the car a couple different ways, Again I love the look of the 427 but I'm in Cleveland and if there's any kind of service issue it cost me $1500 round-trip to get the car back to Jay to do the work. Not that I had a lot of problems with my 427 but there were a few times I wish Vintage was right around the corner so I could take the car to them to look at stupid little things. I'm 36 years old and I love the coyote I'm just afraid that most of the buyers that can afford these cars are older and want the 427? I'm guessing by your photos of your car you're around my age

Yep 37. I went with Vintage because I wanted a modern take on a Cobra. If you think Cleveland is bad try rural Arkansas. So, reliability is very important for me. I joke with my friends that I am building the Lexus of Cobras! (A/C radio heated seats ect.) I wanted the car the way I wanted it and I think that is the cool thing about what Vintage does. You get a car that is like no one elses! Looking forward to seeing your build.
