Hiya.
Stumbled across these fine forums, and thought id try out a question on you guys.
Apart from the engine and maybe some suspension, what is the difference between a 74 ghia, and a cobra II ?
I know alot of you will have 2000 different things to mention, but what im looking for is this;
Would it be possible to take a ghia, and make it look like one of those nasty racing style cobra II's ? From what i can tell, the front looks the same, exactly, - only the rear is a bit different - and even then a ghia hatchback, looks to me like it could get those "fins" on the side of the windows, and match it pretty closely.
Am i missing something else in the basic outside structure of the car?
Reason for me asking is that i live in a country where the cobra's are very rare to come by, and when they do, they often sell for 10x the amount you would buy one for. But i recently stumbled across a ghia mkII from 1974, and im thinking id slap in a v8, and just style it like the cobra ? (Blasphemic, yes - sorry, cant afford the real deal).
So any inputs on this?
