    Cobra with SOHC

     



    Heres one of those Cobras from Poland with the optional 527" cammer and 2 - 660centersquirters with a Paxton supercharger on each carb.
    Its all brand new and i am debugging the thing.
    That is bare aluminum, no paint.
    I like to be thorough and do comprehensive testing testing before being satisfied - what do you guys reccommend.

    First, I'd find a steering wheel.......
    I never realized Poland was a hotbed of sports car reincarnation! That sure does look like a lot of fun. What, two pounds of car per horsepower?

    Kirkham, normally sells just rollers, called "turn key minus". They will sell you a raw body and frame, and just about anything in between.

    I'd recommend to send it to me.

    I'd have it straightened out and back to you in ten years, tops.

    Nice car.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    And it probably wouldn't hurt to have a fresh set of rear tires on hand.
