Oh, wouldn't that hit the fan.....Of course it's ok to put a Chevy engine in a Ford, but when you try to do the opposite, people try to slit their wrists.

I don't know. For some reason any time I see a Cheetah I think of Jimmy Durante.  The Cheetah just doesn't make my top ten list for good-looking cars. For that matter, nor the top one hundred.... |

It's not supposed to be a good looking car, it's supposed to be "how can we put the smallest possible body on a bare chassis" kind of car.

Well, ok. I've owned ugly cars in the past and that's one habit I'm proud to say I've kicked.  |

this is not a Shell Valley car. I built it from scratch. Car No 5. I have and can supply all parts to finish. Car uses off the shelf parts, from Summit ,Jegs,Afco, Coleman. Windshield is saftey glass from a Corvette. 1800 lbs, will give most "pretty" Cobras a run for their money

I like the mean looks of the Cheetah.....but it does not look very comfortable at all!
Are any of these (other than from Shell Valley) able to be street legal?

Mr Bruce
Could you list whats needed in parts and approx $ amount.
I for one always thought a Cheetah to be about as evil/ sinister looking as they come. 1800lbs/ 400+ horses holy moly
Must be an oven in the tight little cockpit, is there AC available like in a Daytona?
cheers

My Cheetah can be made street legal in Pennsylvania, and we have the toughest inspection laws in the country. It has a safety glass windshield. Comfortable? more room than almost every Cobra replica out there. I can fit people 6'6". Thu heat management, it's as cool as any Cobra coupe replica, and I can put air in if you want. Cost to finish? up to you

This is probably not the best place to advertise the "Cobra killer"...  |

IMHO it is ok for established members to mention the Cheetah or even the Gran Sport or other interesting cars with a storied past now and then on here. Most of us are secure enough about our cars and the Cobra position in history. Now some newbie scammer opportunist is another deal altogether.
I would love to see a what a built-out Cheetah would do at something like Run-n-Gun for instance.

How does the Cheetah manage to be so much lighter than a Cobra?
