Purchased EM Cobra from an Estate...Trying to figure it all out.
2 Attachment(s)
I purchased an Everett Morrison Cobra from an estate of a gentleman that passed away. I have been working on and collecting cars since I was 12 yrs old back in the 70's, but have never had a Cobra. This one is pretty interesting.
It appears to have been built back in the late 80's (the build date on the VIN is 87). It has a Ford FE 427 in it with what appears to be C4 Corvette Front end and Rear end (never owned a C4, but from what I can find on the web, that is what's in it). It does run and drive, but it was not really built the way I would have built one. Here are a few pictures of when I picked it up. Let me know what you guys think. I am new to this Forum but am on plenty of other car forums. Not sure if I should just fix the small things I don't like or take the body off and kind of re-build the build :) I would also like to get a new hood, are all the Cobra hoods the same or do I need to find an Everett Morrison hood? Thanks in advance! https://photos.app.goo.gl/HQqYcyyvxgPgscqcA https://photos.app.goo.gl/vsmYrTJXYSsSteWM8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/62jHBYhBHV78YQMK8 https://photos.app.goo.gl/JaSHAqMFfe46fmJv9 |
I think the first things I will remove are the UGLY wheels/tires and front and side grills!
Then replace the seats and set the ride height. |
Ed,
Those things must attract each other. On my little web site in Saint Augustine there's a member named BlackSnake who has a very, very similar E-M Cobra. Go here: http://www.firstcoastcobraclub.com When you get it going, come out and play with us! In the meantime if you need advice or help, just holler. Tom |
Thanks! I will check it out!
