I'm ready to get this sold. I was asking $31k or best offer but I'm going to drop it now to your choice of $26,500 with the Forgeline wheels/tires or $24,500 if you provide your own wheels and tires.
Now has about 9600 miles. It's basically a super fast, tight showcar that I drive maybe 2-3 times a month.

This isn't a Cobra drivetrain swap - people usually ask me that first. It's a built from the ground up aluminum teksid motor. The Cobra accessory parts (intake, IC, timing cover, brackets...) were purchased either brand new or gently used then al of the parts that could be powder coated, were coated.
MM suspension, solid axle and aluminum block makes this like a lightweight version of an 03-04 cobra.
Basically, it has everything that a Cobra would aspire to having - all supporting mods EXCEPT the only thing I haven't done is change the rear axles - and I would suggest it for sticky tires. I opted for some of the best parts available (For example, I went with a complete Maximum Motorsports tubular front end instead of the less expensive UPR/D&D stuff).

The car is really, really nice. No internal gauges - just the Livewire, which does it all. Interior is stock when you put the Livewire away :)

Looking for a nice 91-93 coupe as well - so I'll consider trades +cash.

I can attest to how meticulous jeff has been with this monster; i've been to all types of shows, events, etc. and can say without a doubt this is the cleanest car by far. The engine is completely spotless, has street manners like a stock Mach 1, easy startup and great tune in it, but once that thing hits WOT... its out of control.

I was selling my Cobra at the time I was going to buy Jeff's Mach 1, and the only, and I mean ONLY thing that held me back, and still is, is the amount my bank will finance... I was going to have to put like 6g's on a credit card and the old lady didnt think too highly of that, lol. I still want to buy it.... just waiting to come across some more money.

In all honesty, compared to my 608rwhp Kenne Bell Cobra, my Cobra felt like an absolute slug compared to this thing. With the tremendous amount of torque, SRA, tubular K-member and aluminum block it is much lighter than the Cobra... I have no doubt this thing would put buslengths on my KB Cobra. I took a ride in it when I was about to buy it and my jaw dropped, and I've been in some fast fast street cars.

Good luck Jeff, I am completely serious though I am hoping to put some $$$ away getting the detailing work picked back up and I doubt it will be around this winter, but if it does, I want to pick it up from you.

Thanks for the kind words. If I didn't have this 68 project, I would never sell the Mach :)
