I have had a closet fascination with the Cobra replicas for some time, since the real thing is simply unattainable. Must be a blast to drive.

There is one on epay from a company called Integrity - an Integrity 427 Cobra . Anyone know this manufacturer? It’s local so I can check it out.

What should I be looking for?

Never heard of that manufacturer but that doesn't always mean much...stick with a well known name ie: Backdraft Racing , Kirkham, CSX....these are "manufactured" cars, not a kit and hold their value better and in some cases the values have gone up. Cost more to purchase but I think you'll be much happier in the long run. Check out "Club Cobra" ... it's a good forum and offers a lot of info.. Many of your "kit" cars are excellent home builds but beware of those which have donor engines and not new builds. It's common for a kit to have an engine that was pulled out of a wrecked mustang or one of the worn out police pursuit mustangs. With Backdraft you can select what engine and drive train you want and I believe Kirkham and CSX will do the same however, most will come with a 427 if you make a buy that has been completed. I have a Backdraft with a stroked 418 @ approximately 525hp, a 5 speed Tremec that all sits on a BMW M3 racing independent rear. Way more power that I can use without the use of street slicks and a drag strip but tons of fun. I would not consider going and smaller, maybe a 408 but that would be the least. It's hard to beat a 427 but the cost is more for about the same results. Good Luck!

Where are you located? I am in Howell and you are more than welcome to come look at my 427 Backdraft. Take a ride to Jonathan Motors. They will have some cars in stock.
