Wow, thank you very much for all the input. I guess it's quite obvious that I'm a newbie in the Cobra scene. I'm a Mustang guy that was always one of those Cobra admirers from afar. I'm 6' and a little endowed in the abdominal region so I never thought I would fit well in a Cobra. At this year's Buffalo Motorama, I was helping with the floor setup and Rick Muck (Time Machines) brought in a roller Cobra and GT40. Our buddy Mike told me how to get in and out of the Cobra to avoid snake bites. Needless to say, it was all over then... I wanted one. Within a month, Mike and I were on our way down to Ft. Meyers to pick up the Cobra that is now resting comfortably in my garage. You see, NY in their infinite wisdom makes titling and registering a Cobra a long painful process. I am making progress though and it looks like, God willing, I'll be tearing up the roads here by the end of July. I just posted some pictures in the member's gallery last night from the ad that I found the Cobra. And again, thanks guys!

Only about 100 of them did.
