^^ agreed.
It does look bogus because if it were real, there would be 2 fools involved.
The one who bid $ 144,900 and the the current high bidder @ $ 145 K.

2013 Cobra Jet bodies are currently on the paint line at AAI, in Flat Rock, Michigan. Cars are mixed in between the Mustang and Mazda 6 in the paint line. Enjoy the photos.


Cobra Jet bodies going into the AAI "dunk tank" for etching to prep for paint.


Cobra Jet bodies coming out of the AAI "dunk tank" etched and ready to roll into bake oven.


Cobra Jet body ready for primer stage. Door jams, roll cage and select areas are shot with a manual gun. Rest of car is shot with a robotic gun.


Cobra Jet body in final top coat and clear coat area of paint line before going into the oven for a final bake. 40 cars run through each paint line per hour. The robots are pretty impressive, they even lift and close the hood.

Great shots...maybe ask your 'friends' to snap a couple of close up photos of that paperwork hanging off the car...it might be valuable information when any discussions are started about what it says on it in the future.

I did save an image of the paper tag on the front bumper beam. Only thing i can tell from this image is the UA paint code is Black and Jet Kit signals its a Cobra Jet.
