I saw this car race in the Targa. It is responsible for my Cobra Lust. I could never afford it or any original Cobra, but thanks to Superformance, I get to pretend in one of their cars in Portofino Blue with a Red FIA nose bar. Back in 1964 the Italians had never heard a " huge" American V8 and everytime the mechanics would start one up they would wet themselves, Of course a Ferrari won, but you could hear that Cobra Song for miles before it came around and they just went nuts. I thought it was odd that all the Cobra's raced with their California licence plates ? I believe it was sold to Tombstone Johnston who raced it in the States.
