FOR SALE: 289 Competition Cobra built in 2002 from a Unique Motorcars Deluxe Pallet Car. The car is new with less than 500 break-in miles on it. This is the seventh car we have built since 1990 and its attention to detail and originality is second to none.
Rear fender inserts were installed to give it the correct cut back door look as the original competition cobras had. The side exhaust was tucked more under the car to better replicate the original competition cars (this was done by Unique) and aluminum panels were installed in the engine compartment, nose and fender wheel wells to make it appear as if the body was Aluminum.
The car was painted Ford Bright Red by L' Cars Corporation of Cameron, WI (These guys do Pebble Beach stuff) and removable cling-on decals were applied for that privateer spec racer look.
