Small favor for a fellow DFW'er
 
I am new to the car, new to the site. I want to buy a Cobra and am in the process of researching, talking to people, making decisions about what to buy. What I am stuck on now is engine selection, small block 351W (stroked?) versus a big block FE 427 (stroked?). I live in Dallas. A Dallas owner has graciously agreed to give me a ride in his 351 engine Cobra this weekend, so I can get a feel for the power and handling of a car with that engine. Are there any owners in the DFW area who have a car with a big block FE 427 (stroked?) who would be willing to give me a spin around the block and perhaps answer a few questions? If so, please send me a PM. It would take maybe fifteen minutes of your time and would help me greatly. Thank you.

Yep this is a beautiful car. Chris is really asking very little for his cobra. I think it is a steal.

Wow, that is a beautiful Factory 5. I like it a lot. Does anyone know what the asking price is or have another link to the sale? It is not listed. Not quite ready to buy yet, but I am looking at different prices on different builds as I plan out my next phase of my plan. (Phase 1 of pay off debt is just about complete).

Dallas56,
If you join the cruise this weekend, you will get rides if you ask. Also come out to the monthly meets. You will not be disappointed there either. I have been with this DFW group for over 2 years now and am finally getting to a point where I can see the dream happening before me. I have gotten rides quite often when I asked and have even been fortunate enough to be offered a chance to drive on 2 occasions

I believe he recently said that he would take 25K for it. He needs the money NOW!
