Average Age - Take II (Poll)
This is the sequence of the thread Average Age from 1999
Average Age?
Well, that thread went on now for 13 years and some guys still have their (or another) cobra.
The question here is how old were you when you first bought/build a Cobra?
My number is 50.

My first body off resto was a 68 Vette,liked it somewhat traded it for a 69 Vette with Tri power 427,plenty of power still not 100%happy.Then bought a 69 SS Chevelle did a body off on it and built a 454"with complete handling package loved that car.Finally was ready for our Cobra and bought the kit in 93, 45 yrs old,took 2 yrs to build,still as happy as the day I drove it out of the shop the first time.Will be 64 in a few months.

I've wanted to build one since my mid 20's. I just turned 33 in March and wish I had the means to make this happen earlier. At any rate, literally just getting back from a drive a few minutes ago, I'm doing my best to make up for lost time!

I've wanted one since age 10. After many many Mustangs got the Cobra at age 55. Now I'm thinking I need a Kirkham 289 FIA Lemans.

Started collecting info in 1977. (Got a letter from Unique when they were in Phoenix.) Bought a roller NAF when I was 45. Another Midstates in 1992, then started a scratch build in 1994. STILL working on it! Maybe I'll finish it this year- I hope. Now 69 and hope my heirs don't have to finish it after I'm gone.
