I sold my first Cobra when the wife decided to go back to work after having kids....and she thought she needed a roof.
I sold my second Cobra before Texas became Kit Car friendly since I could not meet DOT and emissions requirements for the year it was titled. So, will it be a third Cobra? Or a GT40? or SL-C? I am visiting Race Car Replicas this July to make my decision! |
I have no idea. My FFR has been on the road since Jan 2001 It is the longest I have ever owned a car.

My profile says I'm waiting on my CSX 4000 series, well that was true when I signed up. But in 2007 , I visited RCR, and was so impressed with his cars, that I got my deposit back on the 4000, so I could purchase a Mark 4.
Unfortunately, before I could pull the trigger I got involved with a 66 Ford 2dr Custom R code, a one of one, which was just highlighted in Muscle Car Review, I'm the buyer who didn't buy because of health reasons,, cancer, so all future projects were cancelled. Anyhow, you'll be very impressed with Fran's operation, man I wish I could of pulled the trigger on a Mark 4, to me, there's nothing more beautiful. Quote:

66 was a Les Ritchey car if it was a factory lightweight (no painted bumpers). Love that car!:D I am sorry to hear about your recent troubles and will pray for you. I sit on several boards related to cancer, mainly The LLS folks, and stand willing to help any way I can. God Bless. |
Are you kiddin' me? I don't even know why I BOUGHT it in the first place:JEKYLHYDE
Unrelated: CSX3183: you can always borrow mine. Come down to Shreveport, LA, and you can drive mine! Hector |
You get to LA, just let me know and you and I will ride. I will take you to a place and give you have the keys.

After a few days of reading all of the great posts, I was bothered by mine, as it just didn't seem right, then it dawned on me, "Arnold" didn't call them sissy men,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, he called them "girly men"

Thanks gentleman
The 66 was not a LW, car was ordered by a guy in Western Mi., it's a one of one because of front power disc brakes. No racing history.
Yes in 2009 I came down with tongue cancer, after chemo and 35 radiation treatments my cancer started remission. Radiation killed my salvia glands, and the scarring from the burns inside the throat, made it impossible to swallow. Now live with a feeding tube in my stomach so I can eat. Things going good until last May, found a spot on my left lung, and on 6/7/12 I had the lower half of my left lung removed. Just got good news, my results yesterday from my last CT scan, while I have 6 VERY small spots on both lungs, they are NOT growing, so could be scar tissue, from previous bouts with pneumonia. Thanks for the offers, and prayers, I fully intend to beat this. |
Seems to me, cancer tried, but couldn't beat you. F*(& cancer! Stay up, stay moving, and stay clear... you da' man.
About that GT40 Mark IV... I like it too. I can't afford another toy but maybe 40 (pun intended) of us get together, each put in $5K, and get us a bad ass one? We can keep it at one of those racing track clubs and keep a schedule for driving it on track. All the expenses for storing, maintenance, etc would be shared to... I don't know, it could work. Would give the non-crazy rich of us an opportunity to own a super exotic classic race car:D Hector |

Hello decooney:
I posted here because I've decided to go with Superformace as the company I'm most comfortable with to build my rolling chasis. Of all the replica builders, I just think they're the best fit for me. So, I figured I'd get input from the SPF community as to why I see so many of them for sale so quickly.... Thanks for your thoughts as well. Cheers! Cobra Man For Life!!! |
Thanks Ward for your 2 cents. I appreciate the input from all of you guys that have already traveled down the road I'm now trying to get on... I just won't be satisfied until I've owned one of these incredible machines. I'm a guy who never really had the hot car I always wanted when I was younger and I'm 45 yrs. old now. As the kids are off in college now, I want to do this for me soon, so I can truly appreciate the experience.
Since I live in NC only 1 hour and 30 minutes away from Dennis Olthoff Racing, my plan is to visit Dennis, test drive one, and then take some lessons to really learn how drive and handle this street legal race car before I order mine.....Thanks again for your comments! Cobra Man For Life!!! |

Cool, thanks! I just might just take you up on that. I lived in LA almost 15 years and still have lots of family there. I'm in LA for business usually once or twice a year so I'll message you if I have time on my next trip. Thanks again....
|
Thanks David! I'm not quite ready to buy just yet, but I'm hopeful within a year or two I can make the leap! But, in the meantime, I figure I can learn as much as I can so I'm truly ready to handle all that brut power. So glad Olthoff Racing is just down the road from me....
Chris |
LOL! Very true and very funny...
|
Thanks Dwight for your comments, amd I think Henrik does have a good point. It's nice to hear from guys like yourself that really love their Cobra's.
Since I live very close to Dennis Olthoff Racing in NC, I'm going to vist him, test drive a SPF, and take some lessons before I take the plunge! Chris |
