A tube chassis is not a ROUND tube chassis, there are many SQUARE tube chassis...probably most. If you aren't familiar with a 427 ( value adder), it looks the same as any FE to the average person. From the "information" that you have been supplied, in my mind the initial taste of honesty or in this case not, I would be skeptical of any other info he has supplied. If you have any interest in it after the warnings supplied here....you'd better take someone knowledgeable about 427s( as well 352s,390s,410s,428s as well as all Ford engines...you can make 427 cubes many ways and that does not, in the classic sense, make a 427 as it is known to be in REAL Cobras...that's for you Evan.
Also, just as a point of information regarding replica Cobras...just because it was titled in '95, doesn't make it a '95 car. Some kits have extremely long build times and a kit titled in '95 could have been a 10 year old kit that was just completed, possibly passed through more than one hand on the way to completion.I have looked at a couple of other type kits that are over 40 years old and still not built...most barely started. I would point blank ask him WHAT kit it is, that will let him know,that you know, it is NOT the real deal.... he may become more forthright if he knows you are better informed than he hoped. Other points to look for are 9" rear ends( not a Cobra) and Mustang II front ends( also not a Cobra)...
