Greetings,
I'm looking to purchase a FFR Daytona Coupe replica. I ordered, received, and am presently in a state of continual drooling over the FFR cars in their DVD, especially the Cobra/Daytona coupe. I'm out of my mind with gotta-have-it fever. I just recently began studying Shelby history--and even more than the GT40, the Daytona Coupe history really has my interest. Only 6--WOW--and each with its own special history!
Unfortunately I've done far less research on coupe replica kit makers. What is the general concensus on the FFR Cobra Coupe kit?
What is the market like for professionally-built coupe kits--and what's the price range/markup on a completed kit? I ask because I'm a year out from retirement fromt he Army and I'd sure like to do something I'd enjoy that would bring in a little added cash to suppliment my retirement check.
*What do you all think about FFR building its new kit on the C5 chassis/powertrain?
Is there a lot of brand-loyalty here or do folks just kinda shrug their shoulders and accept it? I gotta tell you that I've been pretty loyal to Vettes in the past (cause Dad had a '54 he sold to get me out of the hospital when I was born early! ...Dad later went to work for Ford!), but I've always really wanted an AC Cobra kit! But now that I've read a bit about the coupe's history, THAT is the car for me!
