Yeah, what are you building???

I tend to agree. Every time I hear the pharse "Kit Car", you could use my sphincter as a cigar cutter!

Welcome baddog!

Larry, while the visual of your comment is hilarious, two things come to mind, first, why would you waste a good cigar by shoving it up your keester to clip the end off, and two, I'm guessing its kinda hard to accomplish such an act in mixed company huh?

But then again, each to their own.

How about fhe term...." Custom Hand Built Classic", a "one off" as Jay Leno says, in my garage.

Anything classier than..."is it real!".

The "kit car" that baddog has bought is one of 50 or so "cobraesque" cars being built on the leftover Shelby Series I chassis. The hard points on the existing frame dictate some alterations to the Cobra body features and folks will decide whether the external aesthetics are palateable to them or not.

The roller sells for $104500.00 and according to MotorTrend, the chassis stiffness and handling are pretty impressive.
