G Cobra
I recently purchased a 1992 replica. It came with the original window sticker which showed it was built by G Cobra Cars, Inc. in Madison, Wisconsin. I have not been able to find any information on this company through google or any other search site. Does anyone have any information about them you could share. It would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Never heard of them. I'm 2 hours away from Madison. The only kit car place was one that built thunderbird replicas in Madison. Jim

Been doing a bit of Googling. Apparently, Don Goben partnered up with Art Zimmer in 2003 to produce something called the "American AC Mustang" which basically grafted a Cobra-like snout onto a 1999 or later Fox-platform Mustang.
Zimmer Motor Car Company
c/o Triad Technologies Inc.
105 Spencer Street
Syracuse, New York 13204

Zimmer Motor Car Co. seems to still be in business, but at a different address:
4111 Sentinel Heights Road
Jamesville, New York 13078
Phone (315) 498-9840
Email zimmer123@zimmermotorcars.com

Triad Technologies also appears to be in business still, but with different phone/fax numbers.

Also, Goben Cars Inc. has two used car dealerships in Wisconsin. You might want to call them, to see if Don Goben is involved. Maybe he can help you know more about your car.

It would appear ,from the pic that Dan posted, they are re-bodied 'vettes. Is it possible that Cobray ( I think that's the name of the company that currently is doing that) as well as another company, Tomahawk Cars, may have some background or other info about them??
