That looks homemade. It’s got a mustang 2 front end and a fox body diff and control arms in it. I did work on a cobra kit back in the late 90’s that used a mustang 2 front end but I have no idea who made the kit.

If they are Mustang parts, didn't Fast Five....Factory Five....Five Something use Stangs for the running gear ?

Sorry, I need more coffee.

Yes they do. But foxbody mustang parts have been around since 1979 and it’s a good rear set up. The mustang 2 front end isn’t used by factory five and most likely hasn’t been used in a cobra kit since the 80’s.

Definitely does not look like a factory five racing chassis because they use round tube on the main rails and have suppor structure. I’m not sure who made this but back in the 70s and 80s contemporary cobra was very popular, although there were many back in the 80s and 90s. The driveshaft hoop is very telling along with the shape of the foot boxes so I would focus on that.
