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.

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!
