I also looked at the construction and it is built like a GT car or TA pipe car. Very cool looking and light speed - what more is there? It is also really cheap for a vintage legal car... price the new Chaparral from Jim Hall yet? More like $250-$300K. This is fun , go see one... |
I 2nd Mulv. I saw them in Wisconsin. They truly are a work of art, and appear much more complicated in construction than most , if not all cobra's. They are a thing of beauty, and I am considering getting one some day, before I get a GT40.

The Cheetah place is having an open house from Jan 17-20 during Boozer-Jackson and anyone can show up and be welcomed. They have a full page ad in Hemmings on page 75 this month with that theme. They are located at 1123 East Curry Road units 3&5 in Tempe 85281 which is here:
