Thumbs up Beautiful B&B Cobra for sale

I am selling my B&B cobra replica. Below you will find all the technical stuff, but I want to tell you that this car is absolutely fantastic to drive! No rattles, no shakes and all the bugs worked out. The motor was built By Performance Motorsports Systems to have a sweet spot between 2500 and 6500 rpms. The motor makes around 450 HP at the flywheel at 6200 RPMS. I have taken extremely good car of this car. It is stored in a house a bought just to kept the car in. (the Cobra Lounge). It is heated and air conditioned. The car is parked on carpet! The car has been wet 3 times. That is how many times I have washed it in its 1500 mile long life(only 500 miles on new motor). I know that everyone says their car fast so I will join the fray. I will add that I was 2nd fastest cobra at the Road America Ford event this year in Wisconsin with a 2.48 minute lap. (the fastest had a supercharger). I was also 2nd place King of the Hill at Run & Gun this year and first place in my bracket. The performance of this car will not disappoint you. Jay Nordstrom(jayscobras) and Clois Harlan from the forum know this car very well. Feel free to call them or me to discuss any questions you might have. I have many pictures in my gallery(click the camera by my name)
