The brakes (9”discs in front, drums in back), while adequate, could use an upgrade with the addition of a power assist and bigger rotors and calipers. The front suspension is from a Mustang II with a rack and pinion steering. It has a Ford C6 automatic transmission. The rear end is a Ford with adjustable coil over shocks. The kit was manufactured by Shell Valley and parts are still available. The car is registered as a 1992 Cobra. Please make sure that the car can be legally registered in your state BEFORE bidding.
