Why West Coast Cobra?

• Road racing type chassis is very strong & protective (vs ladder frame)

• Front suspension (Pinto / Mustang II) supports aftermarket upgrades.

• Rear suspension is 4-bar Ford 9”.

• It’s a bit larger than the original.

Why not West Cobra?

• Not an exact replica.

• It was fairly difficult to build, but that’s mostly done.

• Lots of custom work was required.

• Definitely not for beginners who are looking for quick & easy.

So why am I selling it?

• I bought it when I was young, before kids. I’m retired now with different priorities.

So what will it take to finish it?

• It needs fine tuning of the carburettor and distributor.

• I’d go with a lower rear end ratio - probably 3.75:1

• I’d put disk brakes on the rear.

• The current bell housing is large. A stock unit would improve ground clearance.

• I’d upgrade the stock Ford front suspension with an adjustable coil over setup.

• The seats need to be recovered.

• It needs all the body work and interior work of any kit car. Your budget, your taste.
