Ownership experience of a cobra

The squeaks inherent to a superleggera body/frame setup are always there, and the doors hood, and trunk open and close with a sound and lightness that is captivating.

A real time machine..

Bud, I sat across from you at the last TCC meeting. And I have to agree you have the most authentic mid 60's Cobra I have ever seen. Simply beautiful.

Mine, on the other hand, is fiberglass and I have taken liberties with the roll bar, seats, and a number of other things. I absolutely admire the attention to detail on your car. But I am more of a street rod enthusiast, so mine is, as you say, squeeky, but shows more of my own taste and personality. Yours replicates very closely the 1965 version, and does it extremely well. Mine is more of a personal creation. I guess the point I am trying to get at is I think you bond with yours about as much as I bond with mine. And I think thats one of the greatest things about cobras, to each his own. Although I readily admit yours is a much more valuable, high quality and significant car.
