Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
Just got back from the Roush open house. He has two Cobra's, and I was asking some people working there if they were authentic (I don't know how to tell), and I got mixed responses. I was hoping you guys could shed some light on this.
The orginal ones had aluminum bodies. This is not to say no one is making aluminum bodied Cobras aftermarket but most of the kits have fiberglass bodies.
My dad almost bought a real AC cobra 20 years ago.......but my mom wouldn't let him! lol Bad move mom

Carrol Shelby is still making his "continuation" series of Cobras...all aluminum bodies...all with a different VIN to distinguish them from the originals.
And there are at least two other companies out there that I'm aware of that are re-popping aluminum bodies.
That aside, the black "autokraft" is a now defunct (I think) fabricator...real Cobras never came with 5-speeds.
The purple one is the most realistic looking but is missing the jack-bumperettes on the front, wheels appear to be aluminum knockoffs, and I believe the exhaust is wrong (no rear exit exhaust available on the 427 cars...289 cars only...could be wrong).
So just from the handful of pics, I'll say they're both fake.
I WANT NOISE! SPEED! AN ENGINE THAT SHAKES MY INTERNAL ORGANS LIKE THEY GOT PARKINSON'S! I DONT WANT AN ENGINE THAT IS PARTIALLY POWERED BY MY LAPTOP BATTERY!

I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.
^^^ Between you, Todd and Doug there is no car question, regarding real or fake, that can not be answered on this site.. You guys are a wealth of knowledge for sure.. Nice to see your friends car doing what it was meant to do!
Jack has one hell of a collection over there. One one hand, it's nice to see all those collectibles parked under one roof but the on the other, it's sad because you know they haven't been moved in quite some time. When I was there, it seemed like there were more cars with flat tires than not.
i have only ever seen 1 real one. it was at a car cruise in oxford. a young lady(30 or so) had it. her dad had bought it new. it took so long to get and he complained enough that he got a very very nice upgrade. when it arrived it had a 427. after many years he repainted and added metal flake. she knew it was worth alot but when the car show dj said there was a million dollar car in the crowd she almost died
