[ddg996]

hi just joined up i've always wanted to own a cobra if i can't find a used one i'll probably build.In the past few weeks i've seen a couple of nice ones for sale on e bay one was called a stallion it was a 429 v8 with a auto tranny red and sharp, the other was an aurora the add said they were made in canada,anyone have any info on these brands?

I have heard of those brands but don't know anything about them. However, if the cars are in Canada, you might want to check on the problems with getting them across the border before buying one.

The auroras were sold here thru lincoln mercury dealers in the early eighties i think,the stallions wrer made i think by pacific coast cobra,but i'm looking for anyone whose had sme experiance either drivingor working with them.
i'm also considering ffr,superformance and backdraft.

I considered buying a Stallion many years ago. The price was right, but the body was just too large and did not look right to me.

Look in the for sale section of this web site. Go back through the pages. There could be some advertised 6 months ago and not sold.

Although some people may join just to put in an add, many of those cars will be from members that have been around for years. You can do a search of posts by that member and find out tons of information. Things like problems they had and upgrades they have done. How the car was mainly used. You can even get a flavor of the personality (trustworthyness) of the owner. I don't think you can ever get this type of information buying anything or anywhere else (other than a similar club).

The member I bought my car from volunteered all the good and bad about my car on the first phone call. He likely had no idea I already new most of what he told me. I new then I was dealing with an upstanding guy. I bought it pretty much over the phone 1000 miles away.

Personally e-bay scares me, when it comes to high $$$ items.
