I purchased my Lone Star Cobra kit car a few years back, had great fun working on it, but with so many active projects I’m not going to be able to work on it further.
So: I need to sell the mostly completed kit. It needs to go to someone who can finish it off, then drive & enjoy it!
When I ordered it, I went with all new parts – crate motor, transmission, rear end etc. – to avoid any issues with secondhand parts. Key specs and original costs are as follows:
Lone Star Classics LS427 kit with various upgrades: $24,145 – note this is an extended wheelbase for taller folks
Mosier 9” rear end with upgraded Wilwood brakes front and back: included with LS427 kit upgrades
Engine Factory crate 351 Windsor engine, 400 HP: $9,350
Tremec TKO 600 transmission with McLeod twin clutch assembly and QT bell housing: $4,201
Bullitt wheel and NITTO tire set: $1400
I have all the parts included with the kit, as well as installation instructions etc. It’s all been garage kept, and as a mechanical engineer I used an organized approach to work on it.
Remaining steps to complete it would include:
Complete wiring and install gauges
Install radiator and fire up engine
Install drive shaft
Install doors, hood and trunk panels and install roll bar
Install glass and mirrors
Select, purchase and install interior seats and upholstery
Paint

Not enough photos? Check out https://buildingmycobra.wordpress.com/delivery/ and see photos of every component of the kit as it arrived at my shop.
It’s been great fun, and the project has gone together very well. I’m just very busy on other projects, and I need to let this go to a place where it will get the attention it deserves.
Regarding pricing: I have just under $39K invested. Would be willing to let this go for $26K cash.
Note: this price includes the crate engine and a great transmission and rear end combination. I will also throw in a free engine lift for the buyer. I’m in the Houston area.
Seriously interested? Please check out the build website above, along with the bonus website linked there for even more photos. Then: email me at cobra@nrg713.com and we’ll continue the conversation. Thanks, Mike Haney
