Helping identifying this model?
Thanks for taking a look. I’m in the early phase of countless hours or reading and researching like most of you were before deciding on your Cobra. I came across this picture and there are a few things on this Cobra that have me not sure who manufactures this particular one. Hoping there are some details in it that you more experienced owners are able to pick up on and help me identify which one this is? At first due to the dash I thought it was Superformance, but then the double taillights and finishing rings around the roll bars has me thinking it’s not. Then the Glove box style. Also I noticed what looks like chrome latches / hinges at the trunk line for the lid, or maybe just a reflection leaving that impression? Cobra badge on the hood and truck. The slight lip contour on the rear wheel wells.
Sorry if this might be a very easy one to identify and there are some very specific tells in the photo, again I’m very early in the research mode trying to compare and decide before the jump!
Thanks for any help and additional details that explain why it is or isn’t a certain companies model. If this happens to be in the wrong forum I apologize, move accordingly

Looks like a basic FFR.
Any other angles?

Factory Five-
Perky butt, 2" roll bars, dual tail lights, Mustang wheels, ....
The glove box isn't part of the kit- many of the FFR builders buy aftermarket glove box kits for their cars and there are differences in the various manufacturers' glove box mounting style.
FFR's are also available with several different guage options. No two FFR's are exactly alike, it seems. Lots of options to make it your car.
The new Mark IV FFR's have a different body now very close to the original style body.

Looks like a nice car. FFR's are very common in our world.
Before you decide on a car, ask yourself what's important to you and what are you looking for. Accuracy and originality, performance, etc.

Do FFR Cobra replicas like to hang out in airplane hangars? Nice looking car by the way - love the black paint. |
