CSX vs. Superformance Body Mold

[snakeeyes]

I picked up my Hi-Tech last year right in the price range you’re looking in. It’s a very, very nice car that needed nothing at all. Prior to that I was looking at a very nice early ERA with a side-oiler that needed nothing except a fresh set of tires and maybe a little detailing. That one was for sale in the low 40s and could probably have been picked up for around 42. It just takes a little looking and maybe visiting sites like Auto Trader and for sale forums on sites like this, rather than relying exclusively on Cobra Country. Patience is obviously key.

If any of the older pre-Kirkham brands deserved the title of "most accurate Cobra replica" it probably should've been Hi-Tech (The Tom D'Antonio cars - not the SPF parent company). Absolutely beautifully executed - especially with the aluminum hood, door and trunk lid options.

Yep Flew out to phoenix , and almost put a deposit on one, but had cold feet. they went ? bankrupt shortly there after. I think the guy who owned the company also owned autotrader at some time. I still have the brochure somewhere.

As a long-time ERA fan I remember being “jealous” of the High-Tech cars when they came out, because to my eye they looked as good as an ERA plus the frames allowed interchangeability with original CSX parts. Took me years to get behind the wheel of one but I’ve been very impressed.
