Yeah, but I've seen a couple of FFR's that you would be hard pressed, from 10 feet, to tell from a Shelby. It's all in how much time and cubic $$$ you're willing to put into the project. That said, a co-worker of mine is building a FFR and he says the quality of the fiberglass and the clarity if the instructions is horrible. You would think after 10,000 or how ever many FFR's they've made, they could at least get the instructions right. If I were buying a Cobra replica, I'd spend a little more up front and pop for a higher end product. You can pick up a fiberglass roller from Shelby for around $40K. Kirkham is also talking about producing a fiberglass car at that price point.

I have a Unique 427SC that I purchased used for less than you would be able to build a really nice FFR car for.
