Jeeze, I guess I struck a nerve with ol' ItBites. I have all the respect in the world for Chevrolets. Over the years I have owned a '62 Corvette, a '63 split-window coupe and a '65 coupe. (Then I got Married). Today I drive a Chevy Suburban (Texas Cadillac), and my wife drives a new Tahoe. When I started researching Cobra REPLICAS, I was told time and again that any Cobra REPLICA would be worth more with a FORD engine than with any other, ergo, I opted for a FORD engine in my Cobra REPLICA. Oh, by the way, my Cobra REPLICA is not a "kit car". It was built from the ground up by a guy who has been building Cobra REPLICAS for 30 years.
