These are not argumentative points, just observations on this Cobra. I do appreciate the discussions. I appreciate fact over feelings. My original post was to try to figure out the manufacture.

I have not stated the sellers price or the car being traded of this Cobra - not certain how you derive cost vs worth - yes, it will need some work recapped below.

Looks more like a Mustang II setup with strut arm to me - not certain of the differences between this and the GM setup.

Unless I missed something - the picture you commenting on about this is a outrigger in front of the steering cross-member.

Not certain how you surmised that was plywood - it's actually a steel floor.

I have re-posted the pictures I have below. These pics are all I have now. I will be looking at this Cobra again and digging a bit deeper into it again the next couple of weeks and will get more pictures. You are looking at a stripped interior covered with what looks like DynaMat style of sound deadenner.
Look beyond the seats, lack of carpet, oil filter, dash setup and wider than desired rear axle / pandhard bar. For me, these are easily changeable and taken into consideration for the total cost of the deal.
Looking from the front toward the rear - the H channeled steel is in-front of the rack cross-member and is a out-rigger.
Personal observation - I don't have too mush of a issue with the 4-link setup (I am familiar on what they can do and not due) - Not comfortable with the "panhard bar" and it would have to be changed / modified.
