Randy Kern Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 A '49 Mercury SVT Cobra! Built by Raul Perez, who decided it should have a new home with me . Fantastic detail all over, but especially in the engine bay. I'm going to take it to some East Coast shows, starting with my club's 'Super September Showdown'. Here are a few pics I took, and the link to the under glass post. THANK YOU RAUL!!!! http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.p...ic=9042&hl=
ProStr33t Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) Hmmm... What year SVT cobra? Doesn't look like the 2003-2004 cobra engine as they are a supercharged 4.6 4 V engine..... The hood scoops look like they may be from a 95-98 year cobra with a 2V 4.6 unless of corse it was the 94 model SVT which had a 5.0 302... Am i correct or no? What engine is it?

Bernard Kron Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 This was and is a great one! Very cool to realize it gets a new lease on life making the rounds on the East Coast. I remember it from when I first started frequenting the MCM board. Hard to believe it's less than 2 years ago. I liked it so much I sent Raul a PM saying so. It's how we "met". I recall Raul saying some folks took exception to it because it wasn't "traditional". Oh well... I actually think it's a pretty fair trade for that awesome '58 Bonneville you sent him ( http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.p...tiac+Bonneville ):

I needed to make room in my display case for the exceptionally well built '58 Pontiac that you sent me!! It's now making the rounds at the west coast shows!! Hmmm... What year SVT cobra?

The 4.6L 32 valve engine and interior are from the AMT '97 SVT Cobra. Later,
jbwelda Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 wow that is a *super* job on that motor and engine compartment there raul! super nice of you to gift the car too! good on ya!
Clay Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 Wow, thats awesome!! I have his Salt Lickin Avanti and I plan on taking it to some shows when I get back. Here are some pictures of it. Dont mean to hijack your thread Randy, I just figure its related enough.
Raul_Perez Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 So that's where the Avanti went... It really sucks getting old...you tend to forget more than you remember... Maybe you guys can get together somewhere on the east coast for a group photo!! Later,
