The center of front wheel to center of rear wheel is 88 1/2" , and measuring the body it is 148" from the base of the front headlight rim to the rear of the taillight lens. I don't know how to post a picture here but i would be glad to e mail them to anyone interested.
It is getting a change of paint color as we speak. Bob W.

Bob,

Regardless of what length the frame currently is, the car never left the factory as a Cobra, just a raw stretched rolling chassis. Having been built up to Cobra specs 35-30 years later does not make it an original. Value will be less than you or the estate believes no matter how you spin it.
