The primary builder was Chuck Gutkie ? of Cobra restorers in Kennesaw Ga and has been under construction for around ten years. Has a Kirkham body, coil suspension, wide rear fenders, and a correct 66 crossbolted side oiler 427 engine.
Will look further for the vin with info you have given.
History not known. Said to be re-bodied and re- framed after an incident in Europe and came back here in pieces??? Family thinks it is worth a fortune and they may be right??? It is very well put together but who knows as to history and legitimacy.
More info as i get it. Bob W.
Rebodied, reframed, and built from the ground up does not sound to me like the ingredients for a Cobra worth a fortune.
