Just purchased a 2001 Midstates Cobra. Seems to be a bit different that most, Chevrolet powered, small block stroked and bored to 406 CI, mated to a Chevrolet automatic.

I believe the chassis was manufactured by Midstates square tube construction. Not sure of front suspention or rear end either. Will need further investigation to determine whats under the car.

My serial number is 35502-2N-S177FF, is anyones number close to mine? I called the factory and they have no information regarding Midstates production. So thats seems to be a dead end.

Anyway, the seller was hightly motivated and needed to move the car so it was extremly cheap. Actually bought it to give to my wife for her 60th birthday. Thinking I might change the color it is now silver but should be cobra blue with white stripes.
