The car has only 600 break in mls on it !!!!!



If you are looking for a cobra close to the original this car is a must look at.

The cobra is a copy of the 427 Sebring 12 hrs Competition Cobra ( # 6 Team USA ), all parts new or rebuilt. The body is glass but the rest of the car is a 1 to 1 of the real CSX cobras. (Not a KIT) Alloy interior panels, alloy fuel tank (42 gallons) alloy inner fenders etc. The rear end is independent same as Shelby, wheels are 6 pin drive with large spinner nut brakes are large will woods. The vin number is HTR0012 as on the ID plate from HiTech and the Title. This is a Hi- Tech Cobra Hi-Tech was owned by Tom Di Antonio who now runs the Shelby operation at the Nevada Facility !!!!!!!!! and considered one of the closest and best Reps out there those cars are Highly spoken of in the Cobra Community !!!!
Engine 460 BB with MSD,Edelbrock Aluminum Heads etc NEW !!!........Power ??? Lots of it !!!! Secondary Fuel Pump like the Originals !!!!
Transmission Ford 4 Speed Top Loader



History of Hi Tech !

The Hi-Tech replicas made in Arizona were a very nice car. Most of them were fiberglass, though a few aluminum versions were built. These cars were made to original Cobra specs - every chassis part for an original Cobra would fit a Hi-Tech Hi-Tech made 427's and 289 FIA's,

The fiberglass Hi-Tech is really what the 4000 series Shelby 'glass cars are derived from. Tom D'Antonio sold Hi-Tech, and went to work for Shelby in the early 90's when Shelby decided he was going to start making new Cobras. His Hi-Tech design, including the realistic detailing of the tubular frame around the hood and doors, is the basis for the CSX4000 cars.



.


The car is currently located on Aruba and can be shipped to US in 1 week or to Europe in 3 .
I'm a well known businessman over here and that car was just a Toy for me ( have several others classic and sports cars )
Have still US Title in Hand !!!!!! car was titled as a 66 Ford

THIS CAR IS NOT TO COMPARE WITH ALL THE SUPERFORMANCE OR BACKDRAFT CARS OUT THERE THIS CAR IS IN THE SAME LEAGUE WITH KIRKHAM AND SHELBY CSX CARS

This S240 is over at Newport European and I am interested but wondering what kind of possible abuse it may have endured. Many thanks! Tom

The AP assigned 11 reporters to fact check Palin's book.

Rogue's Eleven - Mark Steyn - The Corner on National Review Online

No such army of crack journalists was assigned the task of fact checking Obama's tomes, Biden's book, Hillary's or Bill's memoirs, or Ted Kennedy's post mortem.

Look, I'm no Palin fan, in fact I would and will go out of my way to vote against her if she ever runs on a national level again.

That aside, this type of media bias, then people claiming with a straight face that not only does it not exist, but because of ONE network it is actually biased towards conservatives, is just absurd.

I'd really like to see the AP put 11 reporters on the job of tracking down all the outrageous claims of positive impact the stimulus is supposedly having, especially the now slowly emerging facts around the thousands of bogus job creation claims. ]]> Other lotusforsale http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f68/case-there-any-lingering-doubts-81045/ Car show Sat. 11/21 MD http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f113/car-show-sat-11-21-md-81044/ Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:57:52 GMT Car show Saturday, 11/21:

Vehicle Details

I'm having a local lotus dealership inspect it, as well as do an ECU dump to explain the first few hundred miles. What should I be worried about as far as the ECU dump is concerned?

I seem to remember reading discussions about the break-in period for lotus cars. Is the warranty able to be voided in any way as a result of high revs, quick starts, etc. ?

Hopefully the lotus dealership will do a thorough inspection; however, is there anything you guys think I should ask them to look out for specifically?

I can't wait to join this community, I just hope everything turns out good with this exige.

My employer offers health insurance for families practically free, and I told this to my good female friend who is a student and paying out the a$$ for health insurance. She suggested we privately get a marriage cert so she can be on my health insurance, and in exchange I can save ~$5K in taxes since she has zero income for the next two years while she's in school and we'd be able to file married. The obvious concerns are that our friendship could go downhill and she could take me to court and try to attack our pre-nup (and I have some assets to lose), and it would be awkward to explain to any girls I try to date, but at the same time its $10K and a lifelong story.

Is this the worst idea ever? ]]> Other UTexas Doug http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f68/get-married-two-years-tax-benefits-81038/
