Mike, Your doing the right thing..that is, buying a Hurricane, you won't be disappointed in anyway.
Just a comment from me, I was in LA this past weekend and visited a local car show at Bob's Drive In. I parked my Hurriane next to a "real Shelby" with an aluminum body and a 427 side oiler. The guy had all kinds of old racing information about the cars history and was very nice. He stated that his Shelby was valued at 1.5 million if he got it re-carpeted....big woop!
Anyway it was nice to look over a Shelby and compare it to my Hurricane.
The Hurricane body is exactly the same as the Shelby, I couldn't really see any differences other than his was aluminum. Even the engine compartment was very close including the firewall and suspension. The only major difference was the tube frame and heavy duty shocks..or they looked larger than mine but I'm not sure.
There were a couple of factory five cars there also, they looked very good but didn't look anything like a real Shelby Cobra and didn't get a lot of attention, anyway thats my two cents .

I think you will be very happy with the Hurricane and the service from the boys at Hurricane Motorsports. Best wishes , Bill
