Got it, the color! Standard blue with white stripes, and...long story, I ended up with a pair of RED seats.
So, RED/WHITE/BLUE Cobra, perfect.

1795

from your earlier post at 9:32PM: ( have worked with people with physical disabilities, including people in wheelchairs for over 30 years...), great ideas, input, thank you very much.
Steering wheel will be removable.
(...person who will be transferring from their wheelchair to the adapted seat in the car will need grab devices to assist in the transfer...)
No transfer, the chair will be "part" of the Cobra, first lower the ramp, wheel up the ramp, push button to raise chair 1" with 12V scissors jack, remove the wheels and arm rests, place in "cut out" behind passenger seat. swivel chair 90 degrees counterclockwise, press button, lower chair to drive height. Raise the ramp, drive away.

(I would suggest that you talk to some people at the local VA) nope, I did my time in the military, I would not go to anyone associated with it or VA for anything that requires intelligence.

( Before investing in a wheelchair) You posted yesterday at 11:53, I had already bought the wheelchair about an hour before, again, I running by the seat of my pants, bull in a china shop, give me a bigger hammer attack.

I'm not trying to build a car that works for everyone, just 1 in 10, no, for 1 in 100, or 1 in a 1,000 someone with more smarts/time/money is welcome to build a car for the other 999 chair bound people

Thank you for your input/suggestions, Im open to any and all, ...well maybe not all.

Anyone know anything about Ford having an automatic/stick shift, my Dad had one in his 67 Porsche, it worked well and was fun to drive; not my cup of tea, but might just be the ticket in this situation. Doubt I would be able to bolt up Porsche tranny to 289 ford engine..
