It's a great looking car, BUT... This dealership does have some really great looking cars. I remember one 67 GT500 they advertised a while back for some insane price. Well, I saw that car being restored locally. While not to bad of a resto job, it looked absolutely incredible online! It was not as spotless as it was online. If you saw what kinda surgery this car went through too, you would have never paid what they wanted either!
I like the Nascar/ Bill Elliott theme. Being a Ga. native and also a former as a Nascar mechanic, I like it. BUT, I've been to Ernie's shop and seen these motors just laying around like a crop of mushrooms. The last time I was up there he had over 65 complete Dodge motors from a Nascar team that had just folded. Now if I could figure out how to shove one of those motors in a Cobra, GEEZ! Anyway, the point is these motors are a dime a dozen and are probably built with left over parts from the day. Not bad stuff but also nothing new like the Dodge motors or current Ford stuff. Also, with a drive sump motor we would ALWAYS take the front belt off and prelub the motor BEFORE starting. I didn't notice an accusump system (maybe I missed it). Those motors can actually wipe lobes and bearings out when trying to start with out the
oil in the pan! It's a long way for the
oil to come from all the way in the trunk. I agree too, these motors won't last you 10K miles either. It's even got a Jerico tranny. Now, that's pretty slick but again on the street it wouldn't last long. You really need to have
oil coolers/ with pumps on those boxes to keep them from blowing up too. Ernie has an incredible shop with a huge parts dept. It's been a long time since these motors were in there hey day! It's cool but I'd rather have one of Cashburn's Cobra's with the Coyote motor!! Regards, Matt
