List,
One of the outfits putting together the "Cobra" continuation is just down
the street from us. They have a website at www.nostalgiaclassic.com. They
will be happy to put you n the seat of a nifty big block or if you are
economy minded, you can opt for the more nimble 289 c.i. 7000 Series.
These are not your typical kit cars, from what I have seen, they are as
close to the real thing as you can get. I understand that the wall thickness
of the main chassis tube is one area that they chose to beef up on the newer
cars.

I read in a recent men's magazine (I think it was Playboy) that the Cobra
is being made again. If I remember correctly, it is a British assmbled
product, but with American (Ford) parts. A real Ferrari cruncher reborn,
judging by the rhetoric.
