Don't know anything about them but did you see this:
ALL AMERICAN CLASSICS

Not very accurate as replicas go but that might not be your thing. Looks like you could buy the whole company if you wanted though!

yes, and no, it really depends who built it. In this case, ask yourself why it is selling for less than comparable kit cobras, you can then go from there.

Nothing wrong a Classic Roadster if it's well built. The extra legroom with the extended wheelbase is nice.

Bucketlist,

We are developing an Excel spreadsheet of Cobra manufacturers and engines. I have it on Google Drive and you can access the spreadsheet at:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzD...XhNMWpHTmFRQTg

The hope is we can collect all the informaiton about the various manufacturers and share it to provide easy access to our favorite hobby. The intent is to keep it unbiased and factual with few opinions.

Please download the spreadsheet and take a look. If you have any updates or want to include any new criteria, make the changes to the spreadsheet and email it to me at WFridrich@comcast.net.

Thanks,
