Someone posted a link to a slabside car that was being sold in 2 pieces. Anyone got that link?

Build the Flip Top (CSX 2196) not 3002. No one has done that. It is one of the most, if not thee most, significant 427 built. Miles' project--stem to stern. The prototype 427--it doesn't get any better than that. The body, btw, is entirely different than any other Cobra, too.

Speaking of the Fliptop, here is a nice pic an attendee submitted of Rich and his wife driving #98 to the track at WSCB. A local guy built the 2nd motor for it. This pic to me shows the unique shape of the car. One of my favorite photos from WSCB. Peace!

Great pic and thanks for putting it up. I will let Rich know it is up on the Forum. A unique shape, indeed.

Yup, I was aware of the history. I posted this because I thought the body style was a bit unique. The car in the pic has a wider-than-normal 289 rear. As far as I know, that blue car is the real deal. They would only allow these two cars to stand alone at the show as they were presented as real. All the plastic ones were down the road. I know the silver car behind it is a CSX.

Beg to differ - the AC A98 Coupe might not be the best car in photos, maybe, but in the metal it has a certain quality. Front view is a little iffy, rear three-quarters is fine, but nowt wrong with its profile (see pic on page 104 of a recent book..) And it was highly effective and aerodynamically sorted from the off.
(I must load some pictures sometime....!!)

Yeah, you do that.  All these guys with no pictures in there gallery. Shame on you.
It is like having an instruction manual with no drawings. Useless gibberish without pictures. 
By the way, I like the AC A98 just needs a different color paint on her. |

I agree,the AC Coupe is a nice looking car,here`s a photo I took of it at Chelsea Hospital a few years ago at the 100 years of AC weekend.

OK - subtle hint noted and as requested, photos of A98 now in My Gallery. Let me know if you need more - I got dozens!! I also have a few pics of other Cobras, just one or two (thousand). Not going to stop me posting more useless gibberish though! Cheers!

That car looks like a Corvette Stingray and a Daytona Coupe collided with each other. Not bad looking though. I assume that car was done by AC based off Brock's design?

My Hunter replica has the 289 front end on a 427 body. Randy Hunter only made his body in the 427 style until I asked if he could duplicate the 289 front end, and he modified his mold to do that for me. His rear fender flares are not as pronounced as some other replicas, so mine looks like 3002. I left the fuel filler on the right rear fender, my rollbar does not go forward into the passenger area, and my guages are not correctly located, but that could all be easily changed. I never thought I was duplicating a "real" Cobra, I just liked the 289 front end. I had mine next to a Kirkham 289 body and they look exactly alike, so Randy did an excellent job for me.
