They better have not had magnesium Halibrands on them.
Just performing a cursory review of the Cobras now listed on CobraCountry, I think you'll find a large majority of Cobras with thousands of miles on them. Most folks aren't like me and actually drive their cars alot.

Anything beyond what these cars did originally is simply for bragging rights and is removed from what these cars ever were. |
In terms of lbs and HP, whenever you commission a reputable engine builder to build an FE in today's environment, most engine builders can build a reasonably docile and well-running FE with 550-600 HP without any difficulty. My Kirkham weighs 2,128 and had a dyno'ed 605 HP and I think of it as somewhere in the vast middle of engine builds in terms of HP.
So, Evan, I need more than 400-500 HP.
