PS European Excaluburs go way, way back in time. They had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO ASSOCIATE A CR's COBRA. The European Excaliburs along with ORIGINAL AC COBRAS quit selling inside the U.S. (Along with the OPEL GT) simply because they could not meet NSI or EPA rules for that time. And that's today's 2-cents worth.
"CYCLEGUY55" IF you start quoting people you should dig all the facts out first! I'm sure all the "USA EXCALIBUR" owners, especially Excalibur owners right here are rolling eyes and shaking heads about now. Notice the last word in "your" link....EUROPE----NOT FARGO!!

Interesting, yet the Excalibur Cobra shown in this video doesn't have the CR 'kink' in the doors. It's described as "Shelby Cobra Replica Built in 1996 by Excalibur Motor Co. for Ford Motor Co. 302 CI -5 Speed, Rack & Pinion Steering, Four wheel Disk Brakes, Air Condition, Extra Leg Room in Cockpit(6 inch longer wheelbase), There are only 150 made and this is one is NR 112 (VIN 1XACA231XTM123112)" [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cJxfzE_K1o[/ame]
BTW, neither does the Excalibur shown here: [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQsYDSos9jA[/ame]
Nor does this one:
1965 Cobra 427SC replica, Factory built by Excalibur Motor Car Company, V8 Ford Powered, A/C, 4 wheel discs, wipers, chrome roll bar, side pipes, racing gas cap and other accents. 5 point harnesses!
And there are these as well, none of which show the CR door 'kink':

Bye for now, I've spent too much time on this already and I still need to go "dig all the facts out."
