What is the condition of your Cobra?
I am curious about the condition of your Cobras. The poll is self-explanatory, post additional comments if you wish. Or don't. ;)
Edit: There was supposed to be a poll with this, but it didn't appear, so: 1. You keep your Cobra car-show ready at all times and never leave home unless its spotless. 2. You keep your car fairly clean, but it might be dirty or in need of a cleanup when you head out. 3. Your Cobra looks like your mini-van, complete with french fries behind the seat. 4. Your Cobra is generally clean, but its rough around the edges and looks more like a race car than a show car. |
I guess mine fits in the #4 catagory. It looks like
it was rode hard and put away wet. After all it's going on 24yrs old. I keep up on the maintenance. She's getting a redo soon though. Hersh:) |
I set up the poll for ya...had to cut No. 4 down a bit due to character limitations for the box.
Personally, mines a little of No. 2 and a little of No. 4...akin to ridden well and put away wanting more. :p |

Oh and my car? The top is perfect and the bottom is covered with oil...:cool: What poll number would that be?? |
Almost a roller...... :o

I'm a 2 and 4 myself.
Although it's not bad considering it's got over 21,000 mile on it. |
My Cobra is a little rough around the edges (number 4) but she was built in 1980. I think that is over 200 in dog years but I'm not sure about Cobra years.:LOL: I'll have to call Peter at ERA and find out what the conversion factor is.

With over 84,000 miles, the paint still shines well. There are a bunch of nicks on the front end, the carpet has faded a bit, and the leather seats are showing a bit of use, but I DO drive mine as often as possible...although a lot fewer car shows now that I have the "Pro Street" Henry J to drive.

a street fighter
mines also 21 years old so it is definately like No 4 ...
|
2 & 4 for me...........

And Lama-you're dead right. He's got a limo 385 in there...:LOL: |
Number 4 here...probably because I did race it...LOL Haven't messed with it much since the motorcycle came along. Maybe next year...
|
I don't get to drive mine as much as I would like (I am actually looking forward to pulling the transmission this winter, is that sane?), so it is always in show condition, but I do not enter it in shows.......I get bored :LOL::p

I do my best to keep it spotless and show ready down to the polished engine. To put it bluntly it is a giant pain!!!!!! I always try to convince myself to just drive and enjoy but always find myself cleaning/polishing as much as I drive. The smallest spec drives me nuts.
I need a beater Cobra!! |
I'm the only number 3.... I take mine to the Home Depot for 2X4's:eek::LOL::LOL: Less damage than the track!

I guess for those of us whose cars are beautiful on top but oily on bottom, I should have added a "Gulf of Mexico" option.:LOL: |

#'s 2 & 4 for me. I'd rather be driving and enjoying it than worrying about
show quality cleanliness so I mainly hit the high spots and drive on. Got a lift for the Kirkham so no problem keeping the bottom relatively oil free - just enough to discourage rust. Heh heh. |
