Absolutely NOT. Should they be? The 65 era Cobras would come no where close to being safety compliant. If they were they wouldn't look anything like they do. They would look like a Miata since the safety gods pretty much dictate the windshield A-pillar back to the head supports behind the seats.

Blue66 and eschaider like this.
