SHO powered Cobra supercharged. in ct.

[englishcarguy]

Well guys, i have this Sho Powered Cobra for sale, im sure most of you already know about the car. I took it in trade for a big block Cobra and thougth it was pretty cool, it sure is fast! But i am not a Cobra guy and dont appreciate the car as much as you guys probably would.
the Car was in Kit car Magazine, i have beautiful pictures the builder took.
it has a Paxton supercharger on it, it is all detailed out, it is a "Unique" frame and body kit, it is built very well by the original owner/builder.
the guy must have been very talented, i am a Car builder and collector and whoever this guy was, he was good.
There is so much to list on the car, it has a current connecticut title. It was titled as a 2004 composite car just a few years ago.
the paint is mint, just a few small smudges in the clear,
the interior is perfect, the frame is all powdercoated, it has a Jaguar rear end, all wilwood brakes in front. a nice car!
Just not for me, and i want to sell it to someone who appreciates the motor and knows more about the history and details of what it is and what it stands for.
my number is 1-860-793-1055 ext 105, that is work.
and my email is [email protected]
-
the car cost as i understand over 60k to build. and i want 28,500 for it.
let me know your thoughts?
thanks

I think he's working on it.

I wonder which SHO powered Cobra this one is? The Pearlescent one maybe?

I think its silver, and had issues with the timing belt rubbing through the covers. Very nice car from what I remember.

I have some of the original magazine articles. I will attempt to upload some pics.

Im workin on the pictures, I will try to figure it out today, the car is a light silver, black interior. i have all the pictures from the magazine article, and also some here, it only has like 1900 miles on it total. pretty car without having any bumpers or any snaps or stuff drilled into it ... yet.

Holy. Freakin. Crap. Nice car!

Side note, if anyone is seriously interested, this car is about an hour and fifteen minutes from me. I'd be glad to take a ride over for a serious buyer, and check it out.

Unfortunently I don't think this is anything that most members here have the coin to purchase. However, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to post it here, It's awesome to see some of the "SHO Legends" pop up from time to time.

I'd have the coin if I could ever sell The Other Woman. I could swing about half of that amount out of my car spending money but the rest would cause me to have to sleep in my garage for the rest of my life. Oh well.

The important thing is it's out in the community. There's a few people I can think of that could and would swing this type of purchase. Just because they don't post doesn't mean they're not watching.

Per your website, you sell Audi also. Would you have interest in a perfect example of a stage 3 B5 S4, as a partial trade.

My car is a silver 2000 with just over 100k mikes. 380AWHP. 14k miles on a well sorted and nicely built Stage 3 S4.

If you had any kind of open land back there I'd offer The Other Woman in trade. But where could you drive a turbo'd SHO powered Dune Buggy back there? On second thought, she is street legal, drive her to work on sunny days. :laugh_ti: She's still probably quicker than Mike's hopped up S4 in the Quarter Mile at 12.16.

On second glance at that Audi's specs, She probably isn't.

Ok, follow the link in my signature to my website.

Tom,

I don't think this one will run low 12's. It should run a mid to high 12 with a good driver. The advantage is in the launch. Side step the clutch and let her go. However, this one has not been to the track. Its just a clean little driver.






My stage 4+ ( which was 540 AWHP ) ran high 11's, but I am not a great track driver. However, it was brutally fast.
