The best I can conclude is it's a Classic Roadsters LTD (the rear end is wide, corvette diff, and no lip on the rear finders). If this sounds right, then my next problem is locating some assembly manuals... it runs great but has some light/electrical problems. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
The most distinctive feature of the Classic Roadsters Cobra - along with its longer wheelbase - is the kink in the upper forward edge of the door. All other Cobras feature a smooth, unbroken curve up into the cowl area. If it doesn't look like this it isn't a CR and if it does, 99% sure it is.


I agree too that the corvette diff makes it unlikely as the CR's were designed to use a live axle.
