Glad I jumped in on this one, as the soon to be new owner of Classic I'm not going to take the bashing anymore. I am the first to admit, along with DV that Classic was probably the worst at keeping the customer happy. Constant backorders, delivery problems, old manual, etc. But the one thing that I always liked about the cars was the quality. The cars are different and the purist doesn't like them but so what! I do, and so do alot of other people. Same story about the Corvettes, heaven help the person that modifies a Corvette to suit his own taste. The purists hate it. Again, I like all Cobras. I saw some of the most beautiful cars in the world at the fling this year. Each car was built to suit the owners taste. Isn't that what this hobby is all about. Buying or building something YOU like! Can you imagine what a Cobra would look like if everyone had influence on the design. It would probably look like the 55 Nash station wagon I just bought. So I say step up to the plate and never be embarrassed by owning a Classic. I'm not!

Super-kit, good luck on the sale of your engine. I bet next time you post something for sale you will have all available information ready. You have some of the smartest guys in the world on this site and you better be prepared to defend what you say. I personally know nothing about the Nascar engines but with the prices the way they are on any 427 it doesn't surprise me. $25k sounds like a lot for an engine but the local circle track in town has late models running $30k small block Chevy engines every week.
