...The MidStates mystique...

Aerial photography notwithstanding (Curt Scott took this photo from a Piper Cub in 1991),
MidStates has earned a worldwide reputation as a respected manufacturer of
very-high-quality 427 roadster replicas at down-to-Earth prices.

handlaid, handcrafted, steel-reinforced fiberglass

The MidStates body is robustly constructed of handlaid fiberglass, carefully reinforced with plate steel at critical stress and hinge points. Even with MidStates' basic kit package, the doors and deck lids are expertly preassembled and installed, and all inner panels are factory installed. These high-end design and construction features represent key details often overlooked by first-time 427 roadster buyers... and by-and-large omitted by advertisers of low-buck replicas.

choice of chassis styles

You have a choice of specifying an original-style round-tube frame, or the equally-popular
square-tube setup, which supporters insist provides more structural rigidity.

dazzling array of handling & performance options

You also get a range of choices in your serpent's underpinnings: you can opt for the single-donor-car (and inexpensive) 1974-'78 Ford Mustang or Pinto frontend components and differential--or you can up the performance ante with Jaguar or Corvette components both fore and aft. You can even opt for the increasingly-popular ('89 & newer) Ford Thunderbird IRS unit in the rear. And if the array of chassis and drivetrain choices starts to dazzle you, our staff will carefully and patiently explain the advantages and disadvantages, the features and benefits, of each alternative.

Your choices of performance and appearance options are almost limitless, all the more so since MidStates is one of the industry's key suppliers of 427 roadster aftermarket and performance parts.
