Does he live on Milgrove Rd by any chance? I always see a cobra like that sitting outside the garage with somebody working on it. He also has a wrangler and lifted chevy(?) truck for sale in the front yard.

Hey. Stop copying me! That’s my future car. Saw 6 real life ones, :drool:
You can geta decent Factore Five kit for $40k. Then the options go up form there. There are 2 kits locally. But there is 1 real one in a high security garage with a lot of other $ cars too.

Ah, great minds think alike and all that jazz… 😛
I have seen only one FF coupe, I think it’s called a Type 65 or something. Dual-quad side oiler 427 with a high rise. It sounded like God clearing his throat at idle, it actually was making babies cry 😃

Those kits are $12k plus a donor 5.0 mustang, and that gets you a great start, all in, maybe a $25k job.
Nice! I wanna see more pics.

K Cuv = pw3nd
these arent THAT expensive to build, and i had a hell of a pricelist going for him already at the time
i found him a MODDED mustang parts car that had everything he needed, priced out a real nice suspension, paint, minimal interior, estimated some wiring costs from fuzzyfish, wheels, tires, added in a fat chunk of change for bolts / zipties / hoses / fuel lines / ect / ect …
but then again, wtf would i know about pricing out projects in spreadsheet form like ive done a dozen times before …
it only costs 50 grand if you cant do it yourself … and i doubt i would have a major problem putting one of these together … i know its less work then what i have planned for the 240
