Nah more because I would like to attend both Nationals and Shelbyfest each year, I would love to drive the Cobra too and from the events but reality is that I am beter to tow incase something breaks on the Cobra and it is not able to be driven home.
I have the trailer I built to tow to Shelbyfest, I also recently used it to drag a car home from out bush, the corrugated roads have caused alot of cracks in it and I will be adding more steel for brackets and gussets to strengthen it up.
I would like the trailer to be super strong so I can take it out bush each trip and bring something home (using a work car), doing so will mean I need a stronger tow car if I am to use it to tow Cobra south.
I could fit V8 and auto into the blue valiant station wagon I have, but not sure if by doing so I could keep it on club rego (modified from original).
I suspect I can as I was permitted if I wanted to put Cobra on club rego.
The Bedford is going to be given away as it is (I will clean it up and get it running properly)
And I will be able to make a dedicated tow vehicle for the Cobra out of the 2 trucks (although I am actually passing the word around I am looking for a 3 series Dodge (only after a chassis) (Chassis is not as tall, body is mounted lower on chassis, has 16 inch wheels) but all other parts are the same as my 5 series vehicles.
So far I have invested a total of $100 on the Dodges (plus $10 fuel)
So at the end of the day if I deem it not worth while I have spent $110 but have approx 5 - 6 tonne of scrap steel I could sell and I have an engine I could fit into the Station Wagon.
