I'm 54, and have been dreaming of Cobras since late 1962 (!) when thay first came out. I knew I HAD to have one when the 427 appeared in 65. Of course, I was 15, and the Cobra was still a dream. I kept up with the early kits (Arntz, etc.) through magazines and even kept a subscription to Hemmings and others just for the chance to find a "deal". I finally bought an Aurora 289 replica last November! Drove it home from Cal. to Tex. over the weekend. It needs some attention, BUT IT'S a COBRA. No, it's not a mid-life thing, it's an obsession!
