    One of the best FFR Roadsters anywhere ... $58,000

    This fantastic period-correct Ivy Green Mk3.1 was the sole reference car for the popular Mk3Build.com and Mk4 Build Manual. As such, it is extremely well documented ... practically every rivet and bolt has been photographed, and every penny spent has been posted online. It would cost about $70,000 to replicate this build quality today (not including labor). If you want the FFR Roadster but don't want to build it, this is the one to buy. A show car, a street car, and a track car.

    A brief summary:

    • Complete non-donor, all new parts
    • FFR independent rear suspension
    • Ford Racing Boss 302 with Mass-Flo electronic fuel injection
    • Professional fit and finish throughout
    • Licensed in Florida as an antique 1965 AC Cobra
    • Can be seen now in Waltham MA
    • Less than 2,000 miles
    • Many, many extras
    • $58,000
