The usual disclaimers. I'm not affiliated in any way with the sale.

A former electric powered Cobra. It must not have worked or something.

So it looks like it comes with a frame, but they modified it for their experiment. Who was this madman, Dr. FrankenCobra?

The ad states that the "only modification was to move a frame tube outboard." I don't know about the rest of you, but that doesn't sound so good to me.

Hey, how about a Tesla-ham? A Kirk-esla?

Not much of a deal since that's about the price of a new one... (seems like I remember David mentioning a price of around $22k or so for a body/frame some time back)

Plus they ruined it by painting it!

If I remember correctly car was bought by Shelby American (maybe CS) from Kirkham Motorsports. CS had some deal with Chaz Haba of Planet Electric to convert the car over to electric drive. I believe that the frame was modified by Planet Electric.
