When I started my build I wanted a hot rod that I could take long trips in. My seat have extra padding. I have room behind the seat for stuff. Tilt steering wheel. Heater and a fan to bring in outside air. Extra pad under the carpet to keep the heat out of the interior. Boat carpet and vinyl that is mildew and mold resistance. I have logged over 600 miles in the rain. The longest was a return trip from London that was 360 miles.
Fuel injected mall block with 400 rear wheel horse power, 20-22 miles per gallon.
I have over 41,000 miles on my Cobra. I have driven it to the London Cobra Show the last 12 years. It's a 535 mile trip to London for us.
Almost every winter I change something on the Cobra to make it better. Sometimes it to fix something, like a motor or trannie. This past winter is was a upgrade to my TKO.
In North Alabama we can drive our Cobras in the winter. If we have real bad weather it's doesn't last more than a few weeks. We have a Turkey Day Run every Thanksgiving and a New Years Day trip also. Most of the time it's a couple hour and a hundred mile trip.
We have a couple of our members who drive their Cobra a couple times a week, year round.
A Cobra is not a car for everyone.
But for me, it's the perfect car.
