Miscellaneous: Black leather interiors in a full time convertible intended for sunny climates always confused me, yet that is what 90% of the Cobra replicas out there are built with?!? You can leave this car with its white leather interior parked out in the Arizona sun for hours and when you come back, the seats are mildly warm to the touch; climb right in without roasting your hot dog and buns! Also, buyer beware of any 480+ horse powerplant producing in excess of 300 lb-ft torque mated to a Tremec T5 transmission. Tremec themselves do not recommend the T5 << tremec.com/menu.php?m=102 >> as it is not rated to handle excessive torque so when it fails, you’ll be stuck with that bill. This car has the more expensive and mightier TKO 600 that is rated for up to 600 lb-ft of torque
<< tremec.com/menu.php?m=103 >>.Many, many Cobra builds out there have the T5 and it’s like a $6,500 time bomb waiting to crap on your doorstep.

Also, and this is a HUGE deal so pay attention! This car is titled as 1965 Roadster so if you live in “one of those states” this will make ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD in being able to pass tests and successfully register the vehicle (you’re welcome!)
