Hi:

New member here. Joining to learn about the hobby and perhaps purchase a Cobra replica in the near future. Was originally thinking about building my own Anglo-American hybrid (Healey-Ford thoughts...), but I'm probably in need of greater instant gratification than going down the custom / hot rodding route. I'm a former road racer (SCCA and IMSA) and currently a marketing exec who just relocated to Arizona from NYC.

The Cobra that would interest me most is a 289 small body car with greater emphasis on handling and chassis rigidity and braking than drag racing (there's the former road racer coming out) and I'd prefer an IRS. I haven't noticed many 289-body kits/replicas out there, though. Don't want to spend a fortune, too (gotta pay for kids' college someday).

Anyway, TIA & happy to join in the fun.
