This is what loans are for, right?

I could show up cash in hand tomorrow and buy this, if only it weren't a beige facelift model.

$500 is suspiciously cheap. Worth a look though! Do they mention which engine?

Eh, most Cobra replicas look way better than they drive. Any one (which is most of them) that use fox body bits for drivetrain and suspension bits isn’t much to drive and is  likely to be a wheel hopping, ball of oversteer hot mess around a corner. The ones you want have no fox body bits and Jag IRS rear ends. Those are also going to cost a lot more than $ 28k...

Looking at the backdraft website, it looks like the choice of brakes and front Mcpearson strut setup is a bit of a letdown, but  that looks like a way better car than the ones based on mustang bits. Despite the lure of the big block, I think they’re better balanced (and lighter) cars with a high compression, aluminum head 351 build up front.
