Unique Motorcars 427 Cobra Replica
http://www.uniquemotorcars.com/index.html
Check out 40 plus photos in my Photobucket Slideshow at:
http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/m...view=slideshow
This car has had many upgrades over the years. This has led to this car not only being beautiful and fast, but a reliable, dry, warm, 3 season car as well. (Could be a 4 seasons car depending on where you live. That can not be said for many Cobras!)
Car is very, very reliable and fun to drive. This car was meant and build to be driven! Even so, it has won its fair share of trophies from car shows over the years and is FAST and RELIABLE.
It is also quick and handles amazingly well. So well in fact that it is a class winner in SCCA Solo II EMOD, one really tough class.
I have tons of documentation on this car. Here are just a few of the details.

Thank you for all the inquiries and positive reaction to this car.
The Cobra is sold and went back to the Buckeye state. It is now owned by a great gentleman.
Hopefully he will become a member of Club Cobra so we can keep following the history of this really nice Unique Motorcars Cobra.
The new homeless shelter will have a really nice surprise on Monday when I bring them a check!
Thanks and have a great day.
Scott
