Hello, Ron,
I very much enjoyed the pictures Dave Wilson took of your Hawk. I sure wish I could also have seen your car, but down Detroit way, the Woodward Ave. Dream Cruise was that week end. There were 71 Cobras of various manufacturer's parked at the car show in Birmingham, and many more out on the road cruising around.
I see that you have a prospect.
At this point in time, I am just a Hawk "wanna be ". Do you have future plans to buy / or build another Cobra replica?
I am having some reservations about these replicas . In 1977-83 I built a '55 Chevy ( magazine car, etc. ). Fully detailed top and bottom. I was sorely disappointed when I was done because it rode and drove just like a '55 Chevy. I wonder if many / most of these replicas with either MGB ( 50's era ) or Mustang II front suspensions aren't ill suited for a car of this stature---?
When you have sold your car, and have some spare moments, I'd appreciate any comments you could offer !!
As far as I can assertain, Gerry exported 3 kits to H.R.E. in New York state , and there is another in Oregon, and yours here in North America.
Hope you truly enjoyed the heck out of this one had best wishes for selling it ! Gary Lovell Detroit Area
