I haven't seen a "perky butt" around here in a while. 
And I'd have to agree with MrMustang about market value. |

That car would scare me to death... If they ran the fuel line the way they did and think that is acceptable, what else is wrong that you cannot see.
Appears to be iron heads unless aluminum rust.

I agree. I wouldn't have my name attached to the sale of that car without the fuel line corrected. While I know others route them that way, I'd fix the ebrake cable routing as well. |

Seller is not an expert on Cobra replicas and may have gotten taken for a ride

Owner is not an expert on cobra replicas (he never claimed to be) - he bought the car and he enjoyed it and he is now having my company sell it for him - it s a nice car and the money is right on it for having a real BB 427 ford side-oiler

Car is over priced, seller/broker should do his homework on the replica market before putting his foot in his mouth and his business reputation on the line. Hiding behind "the owner told me so" does not make it better, nor does the truth hold out as to the value of the car vs say an ERA, with a sideoiler in it.
Then again, what would I know about the replica market, something the current seller/broker has always put down whenever marketing his "superior product"

All I can offer is a suggestion - and that's to post ads in the classified section and leave All Cobra Talk for discussions...

The "Buy it Now" price seems pretty steep for a live axle FFR Mk3 - even a pretty one with a side-oiler.
And yes, the fuel line needs re-routing - it would be pretty easy to crush or tear the way it is now. How many other things on this car would show signs of similar short-cuts or installation errors?

I'm not really buying the whole side-oiler engine creating "added value" in a budget-minded FFR build. The side-oiler may actually detract from this FFR's value, since IMO, FFR owners are about lightweight inexpensive innovative low/lower maintenance builds that reach out more to the younger crowd of Cobra, even 1st time Cobra buyers.
Side-oilers are for old farts and geysers.
So, the side-oiler in this FFR may actually reduce the amount of buyers in the target market/audience. |

One things for sure: If I had a friend looking for a replica or quality mustang, I know where I would (and would not) send him.

The only thing that I don't understand about Bill is how the heck he finds those Exocet/Catterham/Lotus 7 things attractive. Woof! |

Would sure love to know the casting numbers on the block, heads, and such.
Maybe details of the engine build as well as a dyno sheet.
Maybe see what rear suspension is actually there, I know it's not a 3 link, looks like a standard, donor four link with donor Mustang coils from the one vague picture posted.
Of course the seller (owner) has already told the broker (SGB) that he is not an expert, which makes me wonder if the car is everything the original selling dealer said it was, now regurgitated in the current for sale ad on Ebay.
Anyone else see things I may have missed in my quick perusal of the current auction listing?
Bill S.
