One was a 427 car--Carroll worked with Planet Electric to turn it into an electric car. The main rails were cut out to hold the batteries. I think the project was abandoned and the car was eventually sold. David :):):) |
Thank you.

I seem to recall the electric car was at Shelby American and discussed on the factory tour for a while (I think it was absent in a later tour I took.) As I recall it was some college that did the project. It was a fast drag car (of course, because of instant high torque, but only for one run.) Pictures were not allowed in the Cobra area so I don't have a pic of it.

I am not sure what happened to the car after that. David :):):) |

David: Thanks for clarifying.
Keep up the good work and providing wonderful cars that are a credit to the original and help to continue the legend and do Cobras proud. Cheers. |

Sounds like a bunch of old ladies (not MILFS either) sitting around and wondering out loud wherever their minds feel like taking them. Then Davey Boy or someone with REAL knowledge comes on, and then everyone throttles down and says "oh...cool...thanks...here's some more questions that are truly none of our damn business," but they get them answered anyway. Get off your asses once in a while and go drive your Cobras!:p |

:rolleyes: :LOL: Just a thought here. Since you are a big Kirkham fan and must want to see them do well and since SAI may be a valued account for them perhaps your juvinile pot shots might be counter productive? I'll let you ponder that and wait for your insightful response. ;) :LOL: |

Yes,yes. Good point. I don't always drink wine..but when I do it's Boons Farm. That other stuff is just over price grape juice.
I do agree that people buy what they perceive is the best for them to buy based on their own criteria given their finances and what they choose to spend. Yes, it is just that easy. |
All of these cars are a large ticket item. We all try to reason and justify our actions. When it came to the car I have my thinking was , I can have a csx car and recoup the extra expense on exit. The car was assembled by , in my opinion one of the best. Extra rare in that it is # 7 of 11 full comp cars approved by factory, not that I need this much car. And it was a fair price since it was started by someone else. Also was aluminum, which was very important to me. At my age time frame was also a consideration. I like the Kirkland body shape also. :-) :-) My free time is real important and my cars play into that , enjoy what ever you have.

Maybe I should start a Real! vs FordRacing65 thread!!! You guys don't let up lol.
On another note without starting another thread I was watching the Vegas based Pawn Stars and only caught a glimpse of it. A "1965 cobra" with ID was sold to the store. I caught the end when they were installing an engine. So if this was a Cobra was this a continuation that they completed? |
That show and that Cobra have been pretty well vetted here by the members of CC. Do a thread search.
