BTW, I'm tracking down the elusive factory Sprite with the Ford V8.
Hey Jay,
My brother-in-law owned that car for a while. It was actually a Midget with a
302 Ford and auto trans. It was called the "Cobra X" and the DPO (before my
bro-in-law) claimed that it was a Carroll Shelby prototype! He had a whole
bunch of bullsh!t literature made up on a computer to support it... It had more
bondo in it than a Babe Rally car!!! I might be able to get you a picture of it
if you want.
It ran like stink and handled like sh!t.
