They were a handful to keep on the road, too much chassis flex, not enough brake for the power/speed. Fun yes, kinda, but.....its not a muscle car....Its yours so you decide...
Reminds me of a PA neighbor that got a ford Cobra body (probably a kit body) , widened it 11" down the middle, and securely mounted it to a Chevy Nova "frame". BBC-Muncie-12-Bolt. Glossy Wood wheel, them little vent windows, side-pipes. I was able to touch the sidepipes (and maybe the ground) while a passenger.

What a fantastic result! Probably not an original Cobra body...but i dunno. It was metal.
