Carroll,
We don't like to say "Bill Wells is right".
It makes him think he's doing something correctly.

"turnkey"
As a matter of curiosity i love these posts, almost 9 out of 10 never go with their first idea of what they think a "COBRA" is, but get swayed by the government, first thru regulation, then all the "sperts" advice on whats best, then close friends or mentors they have, then the ole pocketbook, when the wife (if they're married has to approve the final decision anyway) finally gives the okay they find a COBRA in the garage that is a considerable different car than they first sought. good luck juanone on your decision making, it will take a while.

Great Asp,
Bill Wells has all these nice toys but he (like I) lives in Michigan and can not use them all the time. It makes him appreciate them more than those folks in more temperate climates. He is correct in his incorrectness. I suppose that he is right in many things but correctness may be in the eye of the beholder.

As much as I hate to say it, it's too bad FFR doesn't do quality Turnkey card cause the Chassis is damn nice. I would advise finding a good quality manufacture (BDR, ERA, SPF, etc..) on the used market with low miles.... Let the other guy take the depreciation hit. I don't think you can wrong with any of the f the top brands.

Also , to my knowledge BDR doesn't build a slab side model.

I may be wrong, but I think Highland Daytona Racing sells a turnkey Cobra. They also make a nice hybrid car- someone here has one, although I can't remember who- great looking car though.

A fully completed car is no longer legal. You will have to buy a finished roller from Shelby or spf or others and send it to someone not associated with the seller to have engine and transmission installed. Or buy a used one that is already done

Well SAI does rollers.......
I would call John at Racewhere and get his thoughts...
If you want a great roller completed John is a great start. It will be correct and accurate.
His last work of art.
