Default Glaspac Cobra

Good Evening All,
My Name is Alec. My father was one of the owners of a fiberglass company in Brasil called Glaspac. They manufactured Cobras in Brazil between 1981 and 1987. A large portion of the production went overseas (US, UK, Switzerland and one even went to Japan). 37 years after my dad sold his car I was finally able to track down a sound car here in Brazil and buy it. 3 years later, it is finaly getting to where I wanted it... fast stable and reliable. Anyway, I wanted to put this thread out there as it would be a privilage to find owners out side of Brazil (I have foind 22 cars here) and hear your stories. If there are any Glaspac owners out there please take the time to check out my Instragram profile (Glaspac_Cobra) and feel free to contaci me, just to say high or for info on the cars.
Kind regards to all
Alec

Hi @mranderson408, great to know that you have a Glaspac Cobra and that it is still going. Have you never had ir registered? I dont really have any marketing material, but I do have magazines (in portuguese) which contain all sorts of information including pricing.
I do have an invoice for the sale of an equivilent car from back in the day... the challenge is converting the value of brazilian money of the day to current values. Having said that, in the article (link attached) the reporter has made a value conversion which is easy to convert to modern day currencies.

https://quatrorodas.abril.com.br/esp...indsor-shelby/

Scrol down to to bottom of the article and in the spec sheet you will find the following statement:

Preço: março de 1982: Cr$ 3.800.000,00. Preço atualizado: R$ 239.096

Current ajusted value R$ 239,096 which roughly work out to U$ 44,277.

Also, and I dont know if any of the info on my instagram could help, but if you have a moment, check it out!!!

glaspac_cobra - I´d love to tell the story of your car on my profile if you care to share it. THe Glaspac comunity here in Brazil is kicking in to life now and we are havinf alot of fun with it.

I hope this helps and that you can get another Glaspac back on the road!!!!!

Please let me know if there is anything more I can do to help?

Hello
I wanted to introduce myself once.
My name is Franz.
I'm from Germany.
We are currently rebuilding a Glaspac Cobra.
But identifying some parts is difficult.
It's mainly about brake and steering parts.
Which vehicle do these parts come from?
I hope someone can help me.
Many Thanks
greeting
Franz
