Someone really wants one. I was watching this on ebay and had to do a double take.

WOW !
Several days ago that dealer had the same car on e-bay and the top bid of 79,000 did not meet reserve.
Now it's re-listed and 145 K !

I see NMCA (?) has a new 5.0 Coyote class for all 1954 and newer Ford vehicles. They will use sealed from Ford engines.
I have this outrageously fun '03 Focus SVT. There's a bolt in V-8 kit made by somebody and it will even accommodate the Ford modular engines. Now a 420+ HP Coyote in a Focus could be a lot of fun...hmmmm

Hey Jeff here's the link to the NMRA's Coyote Stock class. Sorry but no FWD conversions, I too was looking at a 97 Ford Probe and then read no FWD conversions. Also specifically for guy's like you and I, no Long Style or Adjustable type clutches. Diaphragm only !!! It still looks like it could be a mid to low 10 second class eventually

How did you get those shots in the plant.....?

Awesome....

Too bad we can't get the P-500 to paint the bottom too.....

CBS, I know a guy.... that knows a guy. LOL...Enjoy the photos! I plan to post more. The men and women at the Mustang plant take a lot of pride in all the past and present Cobra Jets.

I don't think there is any way that is a real bid. There are several others listed with no bids. One even with a no reserve auction opening bid of $99K so $99K would buy the car. Who would be stupid enough to bid $46K more for the same thing? Nice try mr. car dealer

^^ 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.
