Long story short, my dad and I have been looking at building one for awhile.. was going to go with a factory five base and build it up but due to the economy and some other factors kept saying "someday". Something has recently presented itself. A neighbor that has a factory five model recently found something and gave my dad a call.
The listing basically states:
Selling my 1965 Shelby Cobra kit car. This car is a project that needs to be assembled. New body, pre-fab frame that will fit big or small block Ford engine. Includes Mustang GT 5.0 engine, 5-speed trans, and posi rear. Will be sharp when done.
Can anyone tell me anything by just looking at the picture? Or offer any advice of things to check into? I've read and read and read different builds over and over again.
When I called the seller I said tell me everything you know. He said he bought it a couple years ago from a guy going through divorce that had 3 of them, 2 that were complete. From what I gather the guy built them up on the side and then sold them. He does not know what kit it is, but that all the body panels are seperate and reinforced, and that when he got it the motor, trans, rear end were in the car. But he removed the motor in hopes of putting a big block in it. The frame was powder coated black, and as the chassis sits at the moment it is a roller. I am going to look at it tomorrow with my dad, neighbor, and gf's dad. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
