Box - maybe! One of the first ones I remember seeing was a black Dax in Street Machine magazine back in about 1988 or thereabouts. It had an avgas fed 351C and ran in Targa Tasmania. Tough!
Here's an update from the author;
As far as I know this was the first Arntz Cobra in Australia. It is actually black, photo looks like it has a green tinge. No idea where it is now but I think it was owned by Duttons (prestige car yard) in Richmond, Vic at one stage.
Spook, I didn't know (or didn't remember) that - thanks. I know Cameron had one the toughest Honda NSXs on the planet, which also ran in Targa Tasmania...
Soul here on CC had a black Arntz that had caught fire and hit a barrier of sorts and generally had a day to forget. I think he sold it, but not sure.
Flatchat - yep they're a couple of old champions. Peter keeps promising to drag his out of mothballs and let it see the light of day. What's the other guy's name? I can see his face... George? He's a man of few words, much like your good self! The last time I saw him and the car was at Glen Hotel a few years ago. I think it sits lower in the rear than any other Cobra I've ever seen, and displays what an auctioneer might proclaim to be "a very well developed patina"
Ian - I'm not buying any cars for a while. A new property is calling me, so if anything I will be thinking about selling some. Are you sure you don't want an Austin Healey 3000 with a 289 Ford and toploader? A perfect match for your Cobra..!
