When it comes to Cobra Replica kits, Superformance International builds some of the best ones out there. They aren’t cheap though, with completed examples fetching decent money. Rick recently came across an ad for a Cobra kit and it turns out, it’s a Superformance MKIII, well at least that’s what the seller claims. It isn’t complete, it’s just the body, frame, front suspension and rear end, but it’s a good start! The seller is asking $5,000 for it, which isn’t bad if the frame is in good shape and the body doesn’t have any cracks. You can check it out here on craigslist in Eugene, Oregon.
While $5k might sound like a lot for a body and a frame, but completed Superformance Cobras are spendy. Heck, the barebones kit will set you back close to $20k. This one is said to be setup to accept a big block engine, which I’m sure only increases the cost of one of these kits. Putting it together won’t be cheap, but it would be a lot cheaper than buying a used one or even a brand new kit. This could be a really awesome project, but I would want to make sure the frame isn’t rusty and that it really is a Superformance kit. If we didn’t have a garage full of cars right now, we would already be on our way to Oregon to buy it, but sadly we don’t have space for it. If one of you picks it up, please let us know! Special thanks to Rick for this tip!
