It's Back... Aluminum Bodied FFR

[Chaplin]

I don't think it's that bad and kind of like the paint scheme. The only thing that is laughable is the asking price, but I guess he doesn't really want to sell it.

The higher the asking price, the more critical the scrutiney. Lots of pent up feelings exposed in this thread. I agree with Buzz, FFR has much more earned respect and I don't see too much of the brand beating that I saw several years ago. There will always be that extra bit of deserved pride that goes with building it yourself, but it is sad when it becomes a point of contention between the good folks on this forum. It is also troubling how assumptions are made on here without facts. For all we know our cobra buddy was told to sell it by the wife and the only strategy he could use to keep it was to ask an outrageous price. Maybe he needs a hug?

I agree with not trying to bash another ones Cobra and to each their own. I was really just astounded by the price. Even if it was made with titanium muffler bearings and unobtainium, it would still be over priced. As others have said, the main jabs are from the asking price. Nothing against FFR's either. I've seen some pretty incredible builds with these cars and at the price he's asking you could buy 3 FFR's. I think everyone believes their car is worth way more than what it should be just because we are all passionate about cars. I just think some get overzealous sometimes. Who knows. All I know is if he doesn't sell it wasn't because this thread didn't give him enough inquiring minds... I have no ties to this by the way! Regards, Matt

Orange County Chopper has made a wealthy career out of building "theme" motorcycles - and it sounds like a lot of them sell for $100k plus. I think it's OK to build a theme car. We don't need to many of them - but every now and then it's kind of interesting.

Didn't this car have a 427FE in it when it was built? Or was it sold as a roller? Been a while and can't remember.
