I was at superformance Monday to see Lance and Barry to meet about future projects and to grab a rear end. -= fibreglass rear end for a customer car.
However I was treated to quite the site - the new 289 FIA COBRA from superformance -- !!!
The build quality is Light-Years ahead on this car -- upgrades and serious components, --options --options --options !
There is a whole generation / segment of cobra guys who havent had a decent affordable factory built small block offering until now.
I am impressed, the attention to detail, the tribute to the original, and some period correct 289 FIA goofyness -- too cool.
The Key points -- The SPF 289 FIA is available with 2 different versions of exhaust pipes , 2 different dash boards / gauge layouts, optional little "red-baron" windshield, and every 289 FIA comes with the little red bungie - Leaf springs - a REAL MOTO-LITA steering wheel, -- round tube frame.
If you are thinking this is a MKiii with a new body, it sooo is not. The build quality and subtle engineering updates make for a soldit nice FIA. -- one wonders why this is not being sold with a CSX number - My guess is that they will quickly blow through the 1000 numbers one would get by making it a CSX. - 7000-7999
where I think this will be a very popular unit.
well, enough of my rambling-
here are the pics.
Hope to have one soon --
