How ironic, I bought one just like it the other day. Getting a red one this weekend.

Notice that its an 18k mile car.. and that it has a 3k mile motor?

Right. You mean why did he have to change the motor at 18k? hmm.

Well, logically he would have had to change it at 15K... Laughing

Probably and upgrade. You'll notice the engine and trans went in at the same time.

oh duhh.

Most likely. The side of the car says 427. So makes sense.

Distributor is in the front. I'll pass.

Hrmm... Nice car. I'd spend my money elsewhere. That might even be a mk2 chassis @ nine years old.

Like on a down payment for house? This is the same reason I refuse to buy a new truck. It's just too much dang money!

Very nice looking

However, If I was to build a kit car, that is not how I would set it up.

Thats probably not a bad price for it, but price is what most people leverage when looking at something like this. If you had your heart set on a Cobra kit, painted blue and planned to drive it this is the car for you. You could not build it for less. If I had the mmens to purchase other 9 other cars on my wish list and the funds to back it up, this would make it a nice round number of 10 in the garage.

I love the Cobra kits, still remember the guy that lived next door to my best in HS and his black Cobra kit with a GM 427 and Muncie 4 speed in it. One bad a$$ car.

Ian, you do know what 'FE' stands for, right? Wink

Reliability doesn't even enter into it. The problem with the FE is that it was primarily a truck motor through most of it's life. It's an extremely reliable beast in general, but it's very hard to find performance stuff for them, and when you do it's like it's made out of gold.
