WTB Cobra 427 S/C Wanted
I am looking for a Cobra 427 S/C. My top choice is Superformance but will consider other quality replicas (ERA, Contemporary etc.) that fit “must haves”. I’m located in Bakersfield CA and prefer not to ship but will travel
Budget up to $90k asking price.
Must haves:
Independent rear suspension
Ford drivetrain 425+ HP
Manual transmission
90-92" wheelbase
True knock-off wheels
Preferred:
High HP small block
2013 SPF03XXX with wider driver footwell and drop out Trans mount
15” wheels
Dual disc clutch
Titled as 1975 or older or have SB100 to be smog exempt in CA.
Driver quality with flaws in paint OK.

This is a duplicate post. You were pointed to Cobra Country in your first.

Not sure you will find much titled as a 1975.

I thought all SPF cars used a welded-in transmission cross-member.
I seem to recall a considerable effort on the part of SPF to discourage owners from replacing the welded-in cross member with a bolt-in equivalent a couple of years ago. Something about structural integrity and the unhappy potential for death and dismemberment sort of events, if I recall …

Just an FYI, California does not always except out of state titles at face value. In other words, you might be better off finding a car that already has an SB100 certification, otherwise, you might buy something titled as a "vintage" year, but upon arrival in California, your state automotive agencies might make you title it as a more current year, thus making you go through not only the title process from scratch, but the SB100 process from scratch.

I believe cars #SP03XXX and higher have drop out trans mounts. |

The drop out mount is an option, not a series change. May I ask why you want a dual disc clutch?
I have a nice MK III in Sunset Red with a Ford Racing 430 HP 392 crate motor, it will require SB100 process as Bill indicated. |

Is that offered as a retrofit kit (to be installed by an experienced fabricator) for existing chassis, or only offered on new builds? |

No, the factory does not offer a kit. They have concerns about the quality of installation. Certainly, a good fabricator could duplicate the system.
Honestly, pulling the trans without the drop-out is not a big deal; remove the seats (8 bolts) and the tunnel (a dozen or so screws and some sealant) and you can remove the transmission and access the bellhousing/clutch. |

Uhhhh, couldn't you just use a Sawz-All to remove the cross member and then put it back with some Gorilla Tape?  |
