1965 427 s/c Factory Five on eBay

While I wish your client the best of luck, I question the asking price, as you can get a really nice ERA or SPF for that type of dough.

As for the Tunnelport for the street, ERA188 had a 427 sideoiler block with tunnelport heads, intake, and dual Holley 600's on it and ran just fine after I dropped the initial 14:1 compression down to 10.2:1........

Beautiful build.

Not so crazy about the dash layout though. Hope there's a lot of wiggle room on the price.

As Bill said earlier, if I'm a buyer of a $50,000 Cobra, then I'm looking at an SPF or ERA before looking at an early FFR with the perky butt. And as I said, the side-oiler would help resale value more, if it were installed in an ERA for sure, and could go either way with the SPF.

But before a side-oiler adds any value, it would help the buyer to know whether this side-oiler is an OTC side-oiler or a factory installed side-oiler. What year is the block? Does it have solid or hydraulic lifters? And what was the block bored to?

Also, some folks like the 4-speed Toploader (Hello Bernica!), though most are ERA/CSX/KMP owners, and others like me prefer a Tremec 5-speed, so that potentially could be another detraction from the resale value of this FFR. As I mentioned earlier, I think the target market for FFR's skew younger and the youngsters want OD.

Whatcha talkin' about? I remember my Cobra being as fast as it looks. That's all I have at the moment, memories of it being fast.
