Rep Power: 312 well i think we know what we are getting. 65 shelby cobra replica kit car. looks good just about everything is new on it and you get to build it yourself.
As geat as muscle cars are, parts are NOT easily replaced. It will be hard to find body parts, glass, and electrical parts for these cars.
But, with 12k you can find a nice example that is extremely well maintained.

Rep Power: 380 what are you building it to do?
for $12000 you could buy or build a Spec Miata car and go Wheel to wheel racing...

Rep Power: 380 Of course why build a cobra replica.... when you could build a Type 65 Coupe.. (only a few $$$ more..)

many options here, dont know what you want but my .02 for every catagory i can think of..
Domestic: Stingray II or El Camino/Maro
Antique: shelby cobras (replica tho but still) or euro fiats, citreons
Import:
Street N/A- EK4 with swap
Street turbo- any 4G63 (watch the crankwalk probs tho)
Drift!!!- carolla or RX7 turbo II
Drag- consider a domestic with that price range or if your real smart go EG6
Best car over all: the one you have the most knowledge of
