I am still working on my cobra. I have a B&B body, but a chassis I am fabricating myself. It has a 351W w/ GT-40 heads, Englebrock
intake with 650 double pumper Holley, top loader 4 speed, anf independent Jag suspension all the way around.
I saw only 2 cobras in the 60's a girl who was a friend of mine had couple next door to them and the husband raced a 289 FIA type? 1st one with bulging fenders. The other one was owned by a local Ford dealer and his son went to summer school with me for a couple of years. His too was a 289.

I went to London UK in 1989 to live and work there and I saw my 1st "replica." The UK was covered in kit cars back then and in a passage in a kit car magazine was a quote: "What is it about a Shelby AC Cobra 427 that reminds one of a body builder in a tight, white t shirt with the sleeves rolled up and makes every man over the age of 40 drop to his knees and praying to God, Oh jeez god, pleez let me have!! I got to get me one of these!!

In 1992 I went to the London car show at the olympia. There were 2 Shelby cobras there. a 427sc for L345,00 pounds sterling and a 289 for L225,000 pounds sterling . (Then a pound was about $1.59-61/dollar
