289 Plans Build

I bit the bullet this morning and ordered a set of chassis plans from Chuck Lindquist.

It's been 42 years coming, but I am finally in one place with sufficient funds to build the Cobra race car I first saw back in 1976 at the Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa.

I plan to build it light, with leafs, IRS and it will be blue. Will probably go with a 5.0 roller block. Am seriously considering making it E85 powered, with roughly 13:1 compression.

The goal will be to capture the driving experience and outward appearance of a 1960s racing car. I'm not remotely interested in 100% authenticity.

I'll update this thread as progress happens.

LMH, LoBelly and db replicas like this.
