56 later this month and in the midst of a build.
My late father took me to one of the local Ford dealers in town to see the recently-introduced Ford Mustang along with a special traveling Ford display that included a Ford GT (red) and a Cobra (also red) with a 289. I was nine at the time. In college in the early '70s, I saw a 427 Cobra on a USED CAR LOT--it looked great, but they wanted $7000. (which I certainly didn't have). Besides, that's roughly what they cost new and, after all, it was just a used car . . . .
Those two experiences whetted my appetite. While I'll never be able to afford an original Cobra, my ERA 427 replica will meet my needs just fine!
