Except for a stable full of these amazing machines agree with you Silversmith, I would always feel guilty with them sitting too much. What made me crave for a car like these was the first time a hot rodding friend of mine stuck a 500ci Cadillac engine in a street rod and watching him trying to launch it was so much fun. You talk about smoke show!! Anyway started thinking what it would be like to have the monster power in a light car and be able to plant it.

The first magazine that wrote a story about the 427 Cobra back in the 60's and it's ability to go 0-100-0 in the 12 second range changed my life forever. I too love everything about these little terrors,oh, another exception I am a belly exhaust kind of guy.
