Hello all,
My first post today, and already asking for a favor. I was hoping a friendly Coupe owner near Clinton Twp. Michigan would be willing to let me sit in their car. I joined this group because I believe an FFR Coupe is in my future. I have sat in Roadster's many years, and 75 pounds ago, but never in a Coupe. If anyone would be willing, I would love to try one on for size before pulling the trigger. Any upcoming shows that an owner may be attending would be great if you're willing. Any Generation is fine as well. I own 2 restored Plymouth muscle cars so I know this is a lot to ask, so, if allowed, I would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks, Mike

I'm in Niles in SW Michigan. My Coupe was born 2 months ago and is mostly a pile of parts, but happy to have you sit in it!

Thanks Jim, I appreciate the offer. I will definitely keep that in my back pocket. I am heading to Muskegon this weekend, but unfortunately I will have very little spare time to sneak away. Congrats on your purchase!

I'm in Lake Orion. My Gen 3 Coupe is been completed and on the road for several years now. I attended two events this weekend. One at the M1 Concourse and the other in Troy. More than normal for me. The next major one coming up for me is during the Woodward Dream Cruise on August 17th. Great Lakes Cobra Club will be at the Comerica Bank at 36440 Woodward Ave, Bloomfield Hills, MI 4830. I'll be there along with maybe a couple other Coupes and 40 - 50 Cobras. Or you can stop by my home and check it out. There are some variables and what version you pick does matter. But that can be discussed further. Best way to contact me is via a PM.

Thanks Paul. I forgot Sick & Roadkill are this weekend. I'm heading out of town this weekend or I'd would run over to Troy, that's only 15 minutes down 16 Mile for me. I definitely would like to talk about the differences from someone that has been there. I have an inkling, but that's about it. Funny, I had my Barracuda at Autorama 2020 as well. I can't believe I missed seeing your car? I would have stopped and talked to you about it. That was a crazy year, how long did you sit in line to get it?
I have something going on everyday this week, but will PM you and try to put something together after that for sure. Appreciate the offer.

I look at that car Everyday CW. Wish I could. That is EXACTLY how I would build one. Absolutely Love It! Unfortunately, my Orange car has to go first or I'll be starting a new post "Recently Divorced, Looking For A Room To Rent"

I would like to thank EDWARDB and his wife Sharon for graciously allowing my wife and I to stop by on Sunday, and interrupt their afternoon to answer the slew of questions I had, and, to sit in their beautiful Coupe.
Thank you Sir, it was Greatly Appreciated!

You got to see and sit in one of the best examples of a coupe in the FFR family. Paul and Sharon are awesome people.
