Welcome!

Gotta love those Yellow MK-IIIs.

Mine is Yellow with White stripes (with black pinstripes).

Definitely nut and bolt the car...especially the lower/outer pivot bolts on the rear suspension. Ask me how I know what can happen when they come loose and break. :/

Mine is also titled as a 1965 Ford. Previously titled in Cali as such, so the actual process was cake and took about 20 minutes total, and I walked out with plates. I went to the Hillsboro DMV, which is actually pretty good.

Looking forward to meeting up someday....

Benzito-
Welcome to OR. As Don C. said check out Cascade Cobras. We're the local Cobra replica club with lots of activities and helpful members. Congratulations on your drive. I lived 20 miles from Buford WY (population 1). Brutal winters at that altitude.

Sweet looking car Dan. When I was shopping for my FFR I was hoping to get yellow with white stripes or solid yellow. I ended up getting yellow with blue stripes. It was the only one close enough and within my budget.

Dan, your car convinced me that yellow works. So much so that I joke with my wife to paint the black stripes white, too! J/K

I need to find a shop to do the chassis check / tighten. I'm too much of a chicken to risk doing it without knowing exactly what I'm doing.

Mike:
No one around that's a "certified" Superformance shop. Nearest is, I think, in Idaho.
Locally probably Dana (see earlier post on this thread) would be your best bet for advice.
You might also try the Superformance Owners Group here on CC if you have particular questions. I'll ask around at the Cascade Cobras club meeting in a couple of weeks as well.
