I have been watching in horror the saga of 750HP and wondering if I have a way to make the ADR and engineering boys happy. I spent a good deal of time with Bernie K. trying to understand all the issues of getting and keeping your Cobras on the road. I was shocked at the idea of roadblocks and so on.
As Bernie explained the boys with their ADR rule book exempt a car if 30 + years old and the tax's, duties etc.. are very low as well. I admit part of my interest is self serving BUT this may be an answer and it is a quality kit that's easy to build at a low price. I manufacture a Cobra inspired kit that is basically a re-body for the C3 or 1968 to 82 Vette. My kit or the Cobray-C3 uses the complete vette chassis and came with big or small block engines, they were carb'd or injected engines depending on year of production. Engineering issues should be minimal if any and you could still update to the LS1 if desired. I can sell the chassis only to go with kit or will assist you in finding your own. The low HP and smogger year vettes are dirt cheap here in the states and very easy to find.The selection of garage projects, queens, and body damaged cars making them in the $1500/2000 range are plentiful. The collector years are still spendy but even they had common parts that are low dollar if not trying to get correct date code etc. so if it is a NON # matching, flared fender, heavily customized bumper car it's still an option.
