I finally pulled the trigger
I joined this group a little over 10 years ago. In that time I was contemplating building a Unique Motorcars 289 FIA, an ERA or maybe even a scratch build. In other words I suffered from analysis paralysis. And in that interim I also built a 67 Mustang Trans Am tribute car. So fast forward to the end of April of this year Alan Weaver posted a little Silver street version of their FIA that they had built some years ago that was for sale and and at their facility in Gadsden. On May 2nd I took the 2 1/2 hour drive down to check out the car. In the back of my mind I figured I would either be buying a Cobra finally, or getting it out of my system. Well at the end of the test ride/drive I knew I wanted this car and put a down payment on it. The car was delivered toward the end of June, longest month and a half of my life.

For some reason when trying to post multiple pics on the thread the pics came out upside down. Did some engine detailing this week. Borrowed the shiner bits I had for my 289.

I'm impressed. I like the flares. Did you get the soft top and side curtains for bad weather? Weather happens

Congrats!!
I know the car, having spent some time in it, driving and riding with the editor of Kit Car Illustrated, D. Brian Smith, at one of the Unique Homecoming events! In fact, it was one of the first Cobras I ever drove, when I put my deposit down. Great car, well sorted, ready to go! Congrats!
Are you on the uniquecobra.com site? If not, you need to be! Looking forward to seeing you at next year's Homecoming!
