All I ever wanted out of life was a Shelby convertible (I'm a ragtop man at heart) to vintage race...Once I got them, I could not bear to hack either of them up to build a race car out of...Hence, the Cobra came in to play...as already stated elsewhere, not an original, as I would feel far to guilty if I was to beat one up....But a replica instead...Something I could both take to the track (1/4 mile, road race, hell, even autocross), and still take my wife or son for a quick cruise when the spirt moved me.....So, after many years of playing with convertibles (Mustangs, Shelbys, TR6s, MGBs, GTOs, etc and so forth) I could only drive on the street, I decide to fulfill my dream and purchase a Cobra replica...Funny part is, I have been lusting after one for so long (I have original sales brochures dating back to the begining of Contemporary, ERA, Butler, and a host of others), I almost forgot to enjoy it once I had it in my grasp (ok, in my garage)...Now, with the last of my "all season" prep work done, I can drive the car as many times as I can, race it, cruise it, show it, and never feel guilty about it again........I'll stop rambling now, either you get my answer, or you don't...But it's in here somewhere........
Yours in Fords,
Bill S.
