Mike,

Now I know what you're talking about. I'm very familiar with that story and the "Spence" car. It's legendary in the Cobra world, and a very extreme example. Fact is, Spence never tried to complete the car correctly.....never even painted it....just dropped a bad engine in, with an automatic tranny. The car sat outside in the rain for years with a plastic tarp over it.

Nolastyankee is turning it to a masterpiece because he and his dad are very talented engineers, and he is a former racer. But, he also picked it up for little more than pocket change in the Cobra world.

The car in question here is NOT the Spence car.
