hi guys, just joined this site & may or may not need it in the future, heres why.
I have the oppertunity to buy a classic roadster cobra kit, almost all the parts are there except the windshield, door, wiring, trunk lid ,hood & doors. all other components are intact, no drivetrain. the owner wants like 4 grand for it & I have until tonight to make up my mind. ]
so I ask you experts, how is a classic roadster to assemble? how are the parts availability on them for what I need & do they use a mustang fox body as a donor or is averything different? help me make this descision guys. is this kit worth 4 grand? the chassis is also there but no suspension

Stang,

Contact Don Scott or D.V. as they are the Classic Roadsters experts and suppliers now. Both are in this club and you can either post to them or send them an e-mail.

Is tonight's deadline set by your or him ???

If his, I would think about letting it go.

You need to take some time and get some answers to your questions before letting go of your hard earned dollars.

I agree with Fred ... you need some time to find out why the heck the fellow has a car w/o the doors, etc.! Might be a bargain, might be a nightmare!

Hey stang 32 ! I think it's a good price for what your getting...If it also has the MSO. It really depends on you...do you want a Cobra...or did you want to by it and latter sell it. Don Scott and Ed combs will have all the parts needed to complete your project...and the help for you to finish it also. If you have the money...and you want a Cobra....Hey Man! Go for it!!
Just my 2 Cents.
Also...like the other guys said...be careful!!!
