another mystery cobra need help.

this is a cobra we got at a dealer's auction out of Penn.

was wondering if anyone is familiar with it.. i believe it is a factory five.

the engine is a 351w with vic jr heads and a tremec 5 speed..

we almost have the car ready to paint.

would like to find the original owner of car to find out some spec on engine etc..

i have the Penn vin# if anyone needs it.

it is the copper one.

thanks

what sux is the car i have bought that is wrecked, i think is a cmc:(
not sure though.

CMC and Street Beast are the same just different names. Their reputation isn't good. I don't know much about their Cobras but their business practices leave/left a lot to be desired. If you end up getting a body from them picking it up in person and paying upon delivery might be prudent. Do a search for Street Beast on this site. I don't think the car is all that bad. I know the body is thick which has some advantages. The car's mechanicals might be quite good judging from the engine compartment.

Their reputation isn't good because of their sales tactics.

While it's true that - like every kit manufacturer - they're had some issues, their products aren't part of their 'bad reputation.'
