It was a sleeper. Anyway, after I sold it I downgraded to $100 cars and old pickups. I could have kept the Cobra in the shed and carried on until I wanted it.
Oh well. I've got my 'fake' and I are happy.

A 428 Cobra Jet Mustang would be one of the cars I wish I had bought up in the early 70s and stashed away. Probably be worth a good deal today.
Thought about a Cobra in 74 when I graduated - figured it wouldn't be very practical without a garage. Then thought about a 67 427/435 Vette. Then realized I was making some money and sold my 70 GTO and bought a new Trans Am. Turned out to be an absolute dog and spent a lot of money to make it run like the GTO. |
