All the good things said about FFR is true enough. Anyone building a car would be wise to give them a hard look. I would.

Now here is the not so pretty side of the coin, when buying one built by someone else. FFR marketed that all you needed was a doner Mustang, and you can build a car for next to nothing. Hey if the Mustang is running good, why rebuild anything? You won't put many miles on a Cobra anyway. Well quite a few people built a Cobra that is worn out. Worse, some are not safe to drive.

Now you can find that with any manufacturer. You can find some FFR that were built with all premo parts and as fine a Cobra, as you will ever see. Be ware. You have to look at what parts were used and how it was built. If the person who built is doesn't seem very knowledgeable about cars, you might want to ask about who helped with what.

The more it looks like it was built from used parts the more concern, I would have. Most of the FFR cars, I have seen, were well built cars, and I think that is because most Cobra guys are a notch above the average guy.
