[MAXVELO]

I HAVE WANTED ONE OF THESE CARS SINCE I WAS 10 YRS. OLD. WE HAD A LOCAL CAR SHOW JUST FOR SCHOOL KIDS AND THE OWNERS WERE GIVING STUDENTS FREE RIDES AROUND THE PARKINK LOT IN THE CAR OF YOUR CHOICE. YOU HAD TO FORM A LINE BY THE CAR YOU WANTED TO RIDE IN. NATURALLY I WANTED TO RIDE IN THE COBRA WHICH WAS THE LONGEST LINE. AFTER THE RIDE WAS OVER I TOLD MYSELF I WOULD ONE DAY HAVE ONE OF MY OWN. IVE BEEN SURFING THE MET FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS LOOKING FOR AN UNFINISHED PROJECT (GOT 4 GIRLS SO MONEY MATTERS). I FOUND ONE FOR SALE BY THE CEO OF WELD MOTORSPORTS (CARL ROBINSON) IN KANSAS CITY MO. IT WAS A PROMOTIONAL CAR FOR THE COMPANY AND HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN A COUPLE OF TIMES. IT WAS NEVER EVEN REGISTERED. WELD MOTORSPORTS HAD A SET OF ALUMINUM WHEELS MADE UNIQUE JUST FOR THE CAR SO I HAVE THE ONLY SET LIKE THEM ON THE PLANET! THE CAR WAS PURCHASED TO DISPLAY THE WHEELS. IN 1996 FROM WEST COAST COBRAS. IT HAS A JASPER 514 CRATE MOTOR WITH AN ACCEL FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM WITH A VORTECH SUPERCHARGER DYNO-D AT 820 HP WITH 740 FT. LBS IM IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE CAR APART TO REPAINT. IT IS CURRENTLY YELLOW WITH ENOUGH SCRATCHES TO JUSTIFY A REPAINT. I WOULD RATHER HAVE IT BLACK WITH ALL CHROME. IM GETTING RID OF THE DUNE BUGGY ROLLBAR AND INSTALLING A SINGLE HOOP BEHIND THE DRIVER. THE DUNE BUGGY BAR ISW NOT ONLY A DEAD GIVEAWAY ITS A KIT BUT TO ME IT DOES NOTHING FOR THE CAR! ANYHOW ITS A DREAM COMING TRUE FOR ME. I CANT WAIT TO HAVE SOME IDIOT IN A VETTE OR VIPER TRY TO IMPRESS HIS GIRLFRIEND OR WIFE AND GO HOME FEELING LIKE HE GOT THE BIGGEST SPANKING OF HIS LIFE!!!!
