Not Ranked
Allen,
I can understand the 7 out of 10 for many possible reasons. But to knock off 30% because of a parking brake and gas gage? I'd buy the car without either!
Just what were you expecting out the car?
To me ... a 427sc is all about excess. Its over the top roadster styling, its over the top power to weight/size. It is a freekin brute. And a well manored streetable brute to boost. Wow!
When I purchased the roller, I had full intentions of installing a 500hp 460. I EXPECTED it to overheat in traffic. In 14,000 miles It doesn't. It should! but it doesn't.
With that much power, I expected it to break often. It should. I thrash it badly. (real badly). It doesn't break. I've had some pieces I installed on the car break. But the roller as delivered from the factory has stood strong.
The quality of the roller is tops. Now what some people do to finish the roller isn't always too pretty. But SPF can't be graded on that.
The gas gage is an easy couple hour fix. The parking brakes are not too strong, but they are trouble free. Most SPF owners have spent a couple hours to beef up the parking brake. Not a big deal.
The way I see it. You could convert your grade 7 SPF to a grade 10 SPF in 4 hours. What are you waiting on?

ps... if a 10 is the best cobra made, I'd give mine a 10.
....if a 10 is the best cobra that could be dreamed of, i'd give mine a 9+.
