Joey,

That looks like the car that Ron Butler used as a display model in his Goleta shop.

The Butler cars are built much stronger than any of the other Cobra's. The primary frame members are 3" by 4" rectangular tubing and they make the car very rigid unlike many replica's or originals. The cockpit is surrounded by steel tubes and the doors have 2" by 4" rectangular tubes running from the hinges to the latches. The fiberglass body's are extra thick and strong, too. If you are ever going to be involved in an accident in a Cobra, the Butler is the best one to be in. The biggest advantage of this extra weight is that it's very low and makes the center of gravity very low. I have had some very hairy experiences in my 29 years of Arntz ownership (the earlier version of the Butler) and it's very difficult to flip the car over.
