Best places to look...

I am interested in buying (in the near future) a Superformance Cobra specifically with a Roush 427R/SR or even an IR.

Where are the best places to look? Thus far, Cobra Country has been #1 for me.

I cannot believe how difficult it is to find a Superformance (or other maker) with an actual 427 (or larger) these days. Everything seems to be 289s, 302s, and 396s...which IMO are just all wrong (no offense to anyone). To add insult to injury, the cars running with a 289 or 302 have asking prices equal to cars of the same quality or better with 427s and 460s.

Anyway, I appreciate all feedback you guys can give.

Best

Welcome and good luck on your search.

Just curious, where did you see a Superformance MKIII with 289 or 302 cid?

On Cobra Country.com, currently, there are about 2 or 3 Superformances listed for sale with 302s and several Factory Five's with 302s. I only saw one BDR with a 289 and it was sold but I do not see it now.

I will admit, there was a superformance MK III with a supercharged 5.0 Coyote with 600 hp that I really thought was nice regardless of the motor.haha.

If you look at CobraCountry.com, there are several Superformance and several Factory Five's listed with 302s. Not sure how they command the prices they are listed at...but who am I to tell.

I saw one BDR with a 289 but it is no longer listed.

A Backdraft with a 289? Oh, send me that link...

It was listed on CobraCountry as well...however I no longer see it listed (on that site at least).

Since I am sensing sarcasm, let me just say two things...

(1) I apologize for upsetting anyone with my comment that I do not think it
is, let's say "traditional" to have an engine smaller than what is being advertised on the side of it - no matter the horsepower.

(2) Not sure how many of you have been consistently searching listings for the last 8 months or so, but you would be surprised at how many Superformance, BDR, Factory Five and Emerson cars are running with a 289 or 302.

If a BDR with a 289 is unbelievable for you, you would get a great laugh at what's currently out there for sale

Just looked and didn't see a single Superformance 427 (MKIII) listed with anything less than 327 cid. So I'm curious, what SPO number(s) are you referring to? I did see a Superformance 289 (MKII) listed with a "289" but that's a completely different car and generally more expensive. Perhaps that's the confusion?
