SOLD: FFR Cobra MK3.1 - I hate to see it go, but it's time to move on.

[Bill_VA]

Well, it’s been a blast, but it’s time to let the Cobra go. The car was finished the summer of 2006 and it’s been rock-solid reliable ever since. I’ve run it at 130mph down the front straight at Summit Point, and just a tad over the legal limit on the Tail of the Dragon (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpOv10Thd78). The car performs incredibly well and looks good doing it.

When I built it, my goal was to do it right the first time, and to build it well. I probably spent as much time planning and pondering as I did turning wrenches and popping rivets. All wire connections were soldered and heat shrunk, not a single electrical issue in 18 years. The engine is a 351W build using a 1974 block that was modified to use roller lifters. I ran that engine at redline down the front straight at Summit Point during all four 25-minute sessions (I had a lot going on during my first time on track, LOL).

The car is in terrific condition. Paint looks almost as good as it did 18 years ago, except for a bit of typical road rash in the front – hey, I drive this thing!

I’ve been told by several people who know Cobras that mine is one of the finest examples out there. Scott Harrison, the president of the Capital Area Cobra Club, stated “Your car is exceptional!” Who am I to argue?

When I completed the car in 2006, I had about $55k in it. I’ve done a fair amount to it since then to improve and/or maintain it’s performance and handling. Easily another $15k+ in improvements since then. I have receipts for everything.

Price is $60,000.
