Damn, I feel so young. I wasn't born until about 5 years after the last of the cars we so much love were built by 'Ol Shelby.
I always loved the Cobra, but never had much of an obsession with it when I was younger, as I didn't hear much about it or read much (Car and Driver didn't write about it alot in the '80's and 90's). I had a picture of it always, but it wasn't my passion until....
For me, it was summer of 2001. I just wasn't getting enough satisfaction out of the weekend cars I had been trying. I had an '80 'Vette, and at the time, had a 1939 Dodge 5 window coupe. Was looking for something else and completely wild. September 7th, 2001, Las Vegas, Nevada. There, in the casino of Ballys, high up on a platform, surrounded by slot machines, sat a gorgeous black Cobra. I don't know what make it was, but I have to assume it was a CSX, since it was right near their home. Didn't matter to me anyway. I just stared and stared at the car. Loved it, but thought no way. But for the rest of the trip and ever since, I fell more and more in love with the Cobra legend. Thanks for the replica, Mr. Shelby!
