    Does Anyone Still Own A Unique?

    It seems (judging by the participation on this site) no one owns one of these fine automobiles.
    Well, I do, and I just had a 427 Medium Riser S/O built by Brent Lykins for mine. Had the paint
    polished, buffed and ceramic coated and it looks beautiful. All is good

    Have owned mine since 2003. Just don't get over here on the forums much. Mostly on the Unique Owners Group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/703794760188674

    Nice to meet you guys. I've had this one 5 years now, built in 2002. Everything gone over, solid as a rock and drives great.
    I'm not on facebook, probably why I didn't know there was a group.

    Cool

    I didn't realize there was a Facebook group, either... not that it would matter, since I don't have a Facebook account! What is the URL? Let's bring the discussion back over here. There is a lot of good info on this site!!

    Howdy.

    Yes indeed - there are still some of us out here. And while we don?t spend much time here any more, we do still check in from time to time. Arby - where in PA are you? We still keep a place in Perkasie but spend most of our time in Saint Augustine, FL. The Cobra is here too. Chassis #4279404. Bought April 2002, put together by Thanksgiving that year, been a joy ever since.

    I still have mine. Been on FB with the group there. Just a little more convenient.

    That is one good looking Cobra, Arby!

    Thanks. Sometimes I think I should move South so I can drive it all year long.

    Good thinking, Arby!

    Yes. The intelligible thought occasionally pops up. This one is quickly shot down, though. I doubt the GF would want to move. So that settles that...

    Plenty of girls down here, Arby! In fact, spring break is coming up so it is a good time to consider a move south!

    That's the problem. Warm weather, scantly clad women and my admiration of the female body could get me in deep $#I+ with the GF!

    Wink Well...,

    actually I was implying sorta tongue-in-cheek to trade her in for one down south, since there are plenty down here!

    Yes, lots of later models are available down South. Keep in mind, we drive cars that were fashioned 60 years ago. And, they're still "hot."

    I still have mine and enjoy it. Bought the kit in ‘98 and it’s been drivable since ‘05. Have 5,000 miles on it and it still looks new and is fun to drive.
