Last week I tripped across a CR Cobra supposedly built in 1993 and purchased by the current owner after the builder passed away in 1994. I was told the car originally had a 427 which the original owner blew and replaced with a 390. Automatic transmission, presumably a C6. Hood scoop, side pipes that look like somebody welded a Cherry Bomb on to the headers, no roll bar, no stripes - just solid red paint.

It sounds like this thing hasn't turned a wheel in 20 years and the older gentlemen (who owns it as part of a collection of a dozen or so Fords from 1953 to 1966) knows nothing about it. He didn't know which replica / kit it was (though claims there's a pile of build documents in the trunk which he didn't show me), and he thought there was a Jag IRS - but a quick peek determined otherwise (Ford 8.8").

We had a great conversation, and I'd like to help him by getting him some background information / history on Classic Roadsters. I've been doing a bit of searching but haven't unearthed anything.

Can anybody point me to a good source of history on CR / CR II?
