Ok guys, I finally got a bunch of pics up of the body in my profile so hopefully someone can tell me what kind of kit car this is...
Hope the pics are clear enough! |

I can't help you as I haven't seen anything exactly like that. But I am sure that there are some on here that can help. I am going to put the rest of the pictures that you linked to in this post as it is easier for them to look at them than having to go to each link and back. Sorry that I can't be of more help.

I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm but you're looking at A LOT of work (insert "$" here) to get that car to a running /driving automobile.
Just my opinion of course. Larry |

Can you tell if it is an actual kit, or is it more likely someone just through it together and built it themselves??

The more I look, the body itself is indeed out of the Attack Cobra molds, all the oversize flares, spoiler on the rear, front nose opening all coincide with an attack cobra body, there is not another like it on the planet Bill S. |
If I could make a suggestion, you might want to look for an unfinished Factory Five if you're wanting to get into a Cobra replica. I say Factory Five because parts are available, no matter what's missing from the kit and there is lots of people with the knowledge to help. To finish the car you're looking at, I'd say you'll need about $20,000 and I think that's conservative. For that amount, you could buy an FFR. Just something to think about.

Look on eBay, Cobracountry.com and on the FFR Fourm website. It's a site with huge amounts of info and pretty much totally pertaining to Factory Five.
Unfinished kits show up for sale here too but not as offten. Larry |
The front cross member,the double cowl hoop, and the tubing on top of the frame rail all look like a Johnex, but the top rail on the Johnex curves down just ahead of the crossmember, whereas yours continues forward to the front of the frame. Big clue : the Johnex had a perimeter frame with a unique curved crossmember under the seating area, with additional diagonal bracing going forward and outboard. What does yours look like underneath ?

MM: The visable parts of the frame are similar, so the possibilities are : Jonex frame modified, or home built inspired by johnex, or just plain homebuilt. I have a Pic of the Johnex that I will attempt to attach, and the owner can use that as visual aid.

Looks like Johnex has done some changes to their frame over the years.

You could try contacting them and see if they say yes or no on this particular car. I'm not sure they are in business still but their website is operating (kind of): Johnex Cobras - Johnex3 Motorsports
Even if it is a Johnex, I still think it's not one to go for unless you're a glutton for punishment! Larry |
MH,
Yes, I'm aware of the early chassis as that was what I had at the house in the early spring. The pictures shown by the OP are close, but not where it counts :D Bill S. |
