I'm helping an elderly neighbor try to figure out what her Cobra replica may be worth. Her husband recently passed away, it was his car, and she'd like to sell it. It's a Unique Motorcars vehicle which is out of Gadsden Alabama. Is anyone familiar with their cars?

For the record, the Weavers are some of the nicest people you'll ever want to meet.......

Sent you a PM vs a long post here on the ins and outs of Cobra replicas and their various makes, models, builds.
Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

I'll second the note about the Weaver family. I have visited their Alabama facility twice and in the classic southern tradition, they treat everyone like family and are as friendly as any business you'll ever encounter. On my second visit they had a 427 Cobra sitting in the showroom. While waiting for someone to come out of the shop to great me I decided to have a seat in the car. When Mama Weaver came out, I could tell she was a little stressed to find me in the car. Turns out it was a recently completed custom build waiting for the buyer to arrive so they didn't want some goon to put a scratch in it. The motor in the car had been built by Ernie Elliot, the brother and engine builder for Bill Elliot of NASCAR fame. The quality of their product is up there among the elite of the replicar industry.

I did the day I posted this question, but it's nice to get other people's opinions about companies rather than just accepting what they tell you. Very nice gentleman answered the phone and was able to answer a couple questions about the car. I called him back a couple days later and he was equally as helpful. I can see why other people on here have had very nice things to say about them.

If anyone knows of somebody looking for a very nice Cobra replica that is one of Unique Motorcar's kits there is one for sale in Las Vegas. According to the gentleman who rebuilt the engine it has a true Ford 427, not a side oiler. The car shows 7300 miles on it, the engine was rebuilt more recently than the build of the car. Priced in the high 50's.

Take a pill Roy... the car was on the sales floor with other cars. They didn't mind me sitting in it, they just wanted me to be carefull since it was already sold.
