[DeTomaso] Cobra Kit Recommendation and Mustang for Sale

[Dylan Schrader]

Three of the guys I work with own Cobra Kit cars.  One has a Superformance,
and has found a few in town (Dallas) in the realm of $40k with a motor.
However, they're all put together...

Why is Factory Five ruled out?

Lone Star Classics makes a better quality kit than Factory Five (or so I'm
told).  They are located in Dallas as well.  Another is Kirkam...but, I no
nothing about their products.

Nice Mustang!
