Why not come to London Ohio and see about 200 or more cars of all types? The LOndon Cobra show is the second to last weekend in June, 21, 22, 23 & 24.
Just a suggestion.
:D

I live in Greenville SC and do not have that kind of cobra and I do not know anyone in SC that does. You will find mostly Uniques, SPF's and FFR's around here. How did you arrive at that decision for those two cars? Nothing wrong with them, just rare around the south. I will keep an eye out for you.

I live in Aiken and have a Superformance. There is also a Superformance in Lexington. IMO, the best SPF dealer in the world is a stone throw away in Charlotte - Dennis Olthoff at Olthoff Racing. Have you considered an SPF?

yes I have considered an SPF, there are just so many options available...I actually was thinking of a SPF car from the start, I was going to make a trip out to see the dealer in FL I didnt realize there was a dealer so close..I'll google see if I can find info on dealer in NC..RNT/ENTDOC I'd love to see your cars and talk face to face...guys wanns do lunch??
Im still in the research choosing phase so Im not dead set at this point..shell valley is making a god sale to me Bob over there is a great guy and is ontop of all my questions and has support for military and he can accomidate my chevy build and such...same with BDR but shell valley is edging them out a little on price and and few other areas...

Do yourself a favor and actually sit in the vehicles your considering to purchase...leg room, seat placement and steering column length vary from the different manufactures. If your a tall guy a dropped floor might be needed. have fun in your search !!!

Tony Im 5'8" average height I'm guessing..that the one of the reasons for this post beside wanting to see the workmanship/craftsmanship I'd like to get behind the wheel and see how I fit and maybe make some adjustments from there..

I know when we flew out to ffr that made the diff for us to sit in them and get the feel for the diff manufactures is the best bet.Goooood luck and Gods speed Cobra Troop tell the guys we send them our thoughts and prayers....WildBill

If you're looking for "craftsmanship & workmanship" you really need to visit ERA in Ct for a shop tour - and they have cars right there in various stages of build - right up to completed rollers. Peter will give you the grand tour. And also stop at a Superformance dealer. These are, IMHO the two best quality cars that will hold their value (unless you move up to the real high dollar CSX and Kirkham's), on the market. RD

Thanks for the info guys...CSX and Kirkham yea a little outside my wallet..lol..Im good for high 30's but there is a few things that comes with teh SPF I'm not interested in like the soft top/side windows..I already have my own rims(if in fact they will work Ford bolt pattern) defroster/heater those type acc I really have no need for..you think they will deal on price by taking those options out?

Dang Earl, I thought he was going to be here, I didn't catch that July date. He is asking for someone to visit so he can look at a car.
Earl, I think it's turtles. :LOL:
:D :D :D

you are welcome to see my cars anytime. I have no real bias towards or against any cobra make, but I do suggest trying to see as many as possible and talk to as many people as you can before you sign up for one. Find a comfortable price range and concentrate on the 2-3 replicas that fit in that range, it is a buyers market, take your time.
