The dictionary I use states "any close copy...."
"Close" is relative and I think most Cobra replicas fit that definition. |

It says 1966 model not 1966 car, it just happens to be cleverly worded just like the MSO.
Something about cutting your nose off to spite your face comes to mind.

Their Facebook page states front tire blew out, spun three times and impacted barrier while traveling at highway speed.

It was just in NYC last friday before the cars headed to London. They guys in the cobra had no care for anyone on the road. They both had on helmets and drove as it was a race track. It was only a matter of time until this happened.

The last sentence in the article makes me think the author believed it was an original: "We hope the car is still salvageable, as it would be a tragedy to loose such an iconic car to an accident on the Gumball."
Some of the commenters also believed it was an original. The article could have been more precise.

No question about the 800hp though.

Color in any format...paint, wrap, whatever...is a highly overrated concept.

Nice to know we have idiots like that running loose on the roads of our fair island. So long as he didn't take anyone with him when he tried for his Darwin Award.....
Think I'll stay home and collect stamps

My finger is on the button for anyone who drags up a post from pages ago and decides they really need to respond in an argumentative tone, or for anyone else that comments about someone else or their posts.
Talk about the thread subject, or STFU.

Fair enough. You don't want to hear my opinion on Hublot being the 'Kirkhams' of the watch world.

Good...two distinct posts which clearly sets forth the opposing viewpoints on this everlasting issues.
Now talk about something else...like 800hp+lousy tires+morons.

I'm not an Hollywood historian...
...but I have stayed at the Portofino Hotel a couple of times. No topless greeter along the drive up to it though.
They do play up the connection a bit with in-room literature.

Bobbycobra (member here) organizes a run every year from LI to Columbus Circle in Manhattan on Columbus Day weekend. We hit the Midtown Tunnel at around 7am. Usually around 20+ Cobra's-Ford GT's-GT-40s's running through the tunnel at the same time. I have video posted of it. Just driving all these cars through the streets of Manhattan at 7 am in a sight(and sound) to see.

so where is the blue Cobra from the Gumball movie?
I saw this youtube clip claiming the blue car is from the movie but the movie car did not have a roll bar or quick jacks.

The car in the video is CSX3243 which is one of the movie cars. Its new owner brings it out to all kinds of motoring events in California.
If you watch The Gumball Rally again, you'll see the holes in the rear deck where the roll bar would go; it was removed for filming. Swapping quick jacks for overriders is a snap.
As LMH said, neither car was ever "lost" nor are they "barn finds."

There were two original 427 Cobra's used in the movie, CSX3243 and CSX3255, plus a replica. Neither of the original's were ever "lost".
