I have seriously considered doing another 289 Cobra, instead of a FIA/Race version more of a stocker, wire wheels, no rollbar, underchassis exhaust...but it all depends upon selling the Anglia(wife said 'no more toys, unless you sell one first...') I invested far more in it than I had planned upon
you know how it goes you do one thing to it and then you really want to do another
... . I just got it finished last spring after a 4yr build and spent most of the summer going thru new build 'teething' problems...never fun to wonder whats going to mess up every time you take it out of the garage
...now it runs,drives as it should even though it was on my 'bucket list' of cars I'm sort of bored with it now. It is very fast in a straight line( low 11's in the quarter at a 'test 'n tune' day at Bandimere on MT Sportsman Pro tires), with it's 90" wheelbase and 1850lb weight, under a hard launch, with the Line-lok, it can and will pull the front end off the ground and smoke the rubber all day long. Powered by a well built 383 stroker with 3x2's, dyno'd at 475 hp, race Prepped Powerglide, 9'' Currie rearend w/4.10's. Flip/removable 'glas front, tubbed,full cage...all the goodies. It gets horrid gas mileage
showed it a few times last summer and won 2 Best of Shows. It has heat/AC, stereo, and always turns heads. I have around $60K in it and would probably lose a lot if I sold it right now...so a new Cobra project is out for now unless a buyer comes along
