The car is likely another example of someone who was unwilling or unable to spend the monies on a mainstream replica. Instead he built a facsimile that looks like a Cobra but the similarity is literally only skin deep. More frustrating (for the next owner), when the car does need attention you will likely find it is far more difficult and potentially expensive to maintain than any replica.

Stay mainstream, you will be happier! This one sounds like a good one to pass on.

Im not looking to buy it,it caught my eye because it was a lonestar and made for bigger guys. yes Im aware that the mustangs were uni-body and looked at pics the guy sent me from under the car, scary looking cobbled welds and frame extensions. it is a lone star body and the roll bars look to be FF and they are somewhat crooked. also when talking to the owner he told me the engine, a 351 Cleveland had 2 damaged rods so it need to be rebuilt. he's asking $45K as is!
