You need some excitment in your life? This will do it! The power,
the rumble, and the wind in your hair is exhilarating. The
Midstates Classic fiberglass body has amazing fit and finish. This
Cobra has just over 4500 miles on the build and only 1500 on the
performance built engine. This one has all the makings of a classic
with the traditional colors and real knock off wheels too. If your
heart isn't beating faster yet, check your pulse!
EXTERIOR: Classic beauty! The fiberglass has a really nice fit with
good consistent gaps throughout. Looking down the side of the body
it is nice and straight with beautifully smooth contours. The
classic Monte Carlo Blue paint was applied with amazing attention
to detail and the white racing stripes were painted on smooth to
the touch. It has a shiny and reflective finish. The hood scoop,
side pipes, and roll bar really enhance the profile. The pop up gas
cap and remaining brightwork all have a lustrous shine. It has
quick jack racing bumpers front and back that look really tough. It
is complete with wing windows and tinted visors. Halogen headlights
are a much appreciated addition. It is rolling on a set of
Halibrand style 5 pin real knock off wheels. They are wrapped in
BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires that are a beefy size P295/50/R15 in
the rear.
INTERIOR: Practical and pretty! It has an original design dash with
all the necessary Smith gauges to monitor the vitals. The
aftermarket Lecarra steering wheel is leather wrapped and has a
nice fat grip. The bucket seats and door panels/pouches all have
genuine leather upholstery that is durable and feels great. The
Simpson racing harnesses keep you safe and snug when cutting the
corners. The shifter for the 4 speed manual top loader transmission
sits proudly front and center. A fire extinguisher has been mounted
between the seats. The carpeting looks great and the floor has
recessed foot wells built in to accommodate taller riders.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Nicely dressed! The 390 Ford FE V8 has been
nicely built and runs fantastic. It has an Eledbrock Performer
intake manifold and is topped off with a fresh looking Holley 4
barrel carburetor that also has a new linkage. Billet aluminum
brackets and pulleys present really nicely, as do the finned 427
Cobra valve covers and matching finned oval Cobra air cleaner. It
has an upgraded MSD 6AL electronic ignition box and power steering
too. It's equipped with a CNC brand dual reservoir master cylinder
that also incorporates a hydraulic clutch reservoir. The radiator
was recently upgraded to an oversized aluminum unit that has an
electric fan. We just custom fabricated some aluminum panels that
push air directly into the radiator. An engine oil cooler was
recently added. All the belts and hoses look to be in great shape
and the horn is hooked up.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Utilitarian! The underside of the lid and jamb
are painted slick like the exterior and the weatherstrip was
replaced. The battery is located in the trunk and has a safety box
that is properly vented. There is still enough room for a couple
overnight duffle bags or folding chairs for the car show.
UNDERSIDE: Excellent! This car is equipped with the optional round
tube frame. It has rack & pinion steering for increasing handling
and maneuverability. Up front is a Mustang ll front independent
suspension with tubular control arms, swaybar, and coilover
adjustable gas shocks. Out back is a 4 link system with tubular
control arms and coilover adjustable gas shocks. It was recently
upgraded to 4 wheel disc brakes that stop on a dime. The tough
looking side pipes sing a song of mechanical perfection. The gas
tank looks fresh. Looking up at the Ford 390 FE V8 you will see a
remote oil filter and bright Ford Blue paint. The 4-speed close
ratio top loader trans has a fresh looking linkage, mount, and Ford
Blue paint too. A Ford 9 inch rear with 3.55 gears puts the power
to the pavement.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
Pure excitement! The raw power in a little lightweight sports car
of awesome. The sound of those side pipes as you're shifting the
gears is guaranteed to make your bad day great!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
