Having a LHD car in Australia causes more than a little curiosity and I have no problems telling any enquirers that my car was built in San Francisco by Steve Arntz in 1979. It's thirty-four years old, still looks stunning due in no small part to the efforts of its two previous owners in Washington state, and is running its original 454 Chevy with Hooker headers and a four speed Muncie box. A carbied big block with working side pipes is a rarity down here because almost all Australian Cobras are modern versions that have to comply with the restrictive Australian design rules, which dictate that a car has to comply with the registration requirements for new vehicles pertaining to the year it was first registered. Nice to know that age sometimes does have its advantages.
