Not Ranked
Luke, those pics really hit where it hurts. Glad you're gradually coping with the disappointment. Let us know how things progress.

Are these extreme rare examples, or things to be worried about? I expect maintenance and tinkering, but not necessarily this. BTW-I'm leaning towards Superformance.

Fires happen in other, factory built cars as well. I had the same leaking fuel pump issue with a '74 Trans Am many years ago in Canada. It didn't catch on fire either but then the ambient temperature was much lower than it was here with the Cobra.
The good thing about these cars is that everything is right there and easy to access and inspect.
