I know this thread is really old but I think I own a Rowan Replicar Cobra Replica; I picked it up last year and have been building it up. The car came with a manual that shows both RR and Everette Morrison chassis and has Steve's addresses and phone number on the first page, my chassis looks just like the RR one. The chassis came with leaf springs and a Mustang 2 front end. I have since converted it to a Jaguar rear end and put larger Sierra front brakes with 11" rotors.

The body is really heavy and is 2" thick in some places, the chassis is a combination of 4x4” and 4x2” square tube frame, I am adding additional reinforcement. The car came with a Ford Thunderbird BB 352 (300hp, 380flb) and a 2 speed automatic transmission. The motor runs really well, I dumped the 2 speed for a T5. It’s interesting that the manual stated the chassis and body weighs around 600lb, I can’t imagine what the total weight of the car is.


The build is coming along nicely; I am fabricating almost all parts apart from chrome and things that need to be bought.

Are there any other owners of RR Cobras?

FWIW, Salisbury is located in Rowan County, NC, just north of Charlotte. It's located along the NASCAR Corridor (I-85). I remember reading some time back that there was a Cobra builder in that area. Probably it was he.
