There's a complete FFR Daytona kit in it's original packaging down in Temecula, CA that's for sale. The guy might be interested in your car as a trade.The FFR Coupe is one of the early ones. If you've checked out CobraForum.com then you'll know that the early coupes have ... 'issues.'
The newer, less expensive FFR Daytona is supposed bot be better. I've only seen a few of these kits, and have not seen one completed yet.
Your car is worth alot of money if it's an original Monster. Does it have the fender flares, etc?
You may be better off selling the car outright rather than looking for a kit. The reason I say this is that you'll be losing lots of money if you trade it for a replica. In fact, I'm working on an FFR Cobra that I would trade for your car!:P
If you're just looking for a different 'look,' you might want to consider a body kit for your car. Yes, I know that you've got a Monster. I've got a '93 Miata that I'm planning on converting (through V8Miata's 5.0 conversion kit) to a V8. And there's a company up in Washington that's just coming to market with a Cobra body kit that fits the Miata (the Miata's cockpit is further forward, and the wheelbase is .5" shorter than a Cobra's). The cool thing is that in California SB100 allows you to register the car smog exempt, so this could be a perfect marriage!
Also, there's a company out of NZ that is putting out a reasonable inexpensive GT40 you may want to look into...
Hope that helps!
