I purchased this car in 2020 fulfilling a dream I've had since a child and first seeing a magazine article about Shelby Cobras. Since 2002 I've owned multiple Mustang Cobras, but this car is in a class of it's own. I am needing to sell her now in order to fulfill a lifelong career goal - buying a business.
As you all know, each kit car is unique, but here is the short list of what makes an Emerson stand out.
- Structurally rated roll bar (yes, there is a reason it is that big)
- Stretched frame length (big and tall drivers can actually enjoy their ride)
- NASCAR engineer designed suspension
- Industry known builder with top notch service and record of quality
- Every Emerson is a professionally designed and assembled vehicle built to the owner's specs
- There are only a few more than 100 Emerson Cobras in existence. (His last client build is being finished now)
