Why have a replica 1960's Cobra if you are going to modernize it? Just curious...

I'd like to add my 2 cents, as I see this question or concern a lot on this forum. I'm new to the forum and in the research stage right now. But the reason I I would modernize it for one is because I've owned several "sports" cars of similar era; mustangs, camaro's, etc nothing beats modern reliability (in regards to drive train) and modern brakes, supension when compared to anything of that era.
2 to address what I beleive your question was eluding to. My feeling is, this is a replica so not in it for any type of return in that regard. Therefore the look of bigger rims, wider tires, that muscle car look of the car but with a modernize look like the BDR offers is what I'm after. Realiabilty I can achieve with a modern fuel injected engine coupled with the retro/modernize look is a head turner. Ask any younger generation customizing a vehicle and they would agree. Your making the car yours by adding to the good look of the car with gauges, led lights (better night visibility), gt body, front spoiler... |
