Now at 47 and working on 48 soon. Love mine and have no plans on getting rid of it. My wife wonders how I will climb in and out at 90 but I said the same way as now, just will take a little longer!

While this thread has been interesting hearing the stories and ages behind the purchases, it is hard to get a handle on the ages, especially given the number of posts. Would a poll indicating average age when purchased and another for the current ages of owners be more relevant to show these figures at a glance instead of reading through all the posts? This way the average purchase age as well as the average age of those that still own a Cobra could be seen at a glance. Just a thought.

I am 60.5, and just building my first cobra. Then at 61 I will begin on the second one. But have been building cars for centuries it seems like.

Was 52.5 when I acquired CCX-3057 in Sep '08. Never grew up with cars but remember seeing the naked aluminum Shelbys at LAX (Imperial just west of Sepulveda) when I was very young. Started researching replicas in the early '80's with CCX and ERA (and a couple others) being available but never could afford one. When my CCX opportunity came along I took it, great decision on the CCX. Lots of fun to date.

I was 42 when I bought my Superformance Cobra which makes for a solid 33 years of lusting since I saw my first Cobra in "The Gumball Rally."

You guys do realize this thread was started in 1999....that is amazing.
I am 36(and diggin in with both feet to keep 37 from coming on in april) I started my build last year. Hopefully by this time next year it will be done....:JEKYLHYDE
I started with a 74 bronco when I was 17. 35 tall tires, mild cam 302 with a 100 hp shot of juice. Bought a 69 fast back Mustang when I was 19. A little more radical 302 with a 200 hp shot of juice. God I miss that car.

59 in two weeks and took delivery of my ERA kit last month. I'm sure the aches and pains and snake bitten hands will be worth it when I finish.

I was 59 when I purchased my Superformance Cobra and it was a 42 year dream come true. While in the USN on active duty in So. California, I drove an original 427 Cobra that was at the Carlsbad dealership and it was INCREDIBLE. Therefore, after raising 5 kids and all of them through college and 101 other life expenses, I have a Cobra and feel like I am 21 again............I still go out to the garage many nights and look at it and can't believe it is there and all mine.

Long story short I used to work for Allen Grant who raced for Shelby and he had that famous picture of him with George Lucas sitting in his #96 Cobra on his office wall and I said to myself "someday". Been hooked on Shelby's (both Mustangs and Cobras) since then, that was 20 years ago. I've owned various mustangs and finally was able to get a hold of Replica Cobra 3 years ago at 44 years old.

If you never finished building your Cobra, I'm guessing it was spent in the garage.:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL: tin-man |

I just got my kit, I'm 35. Here in Australia it usually costs between 55 and 80k Australian $$$ to build one of these things.
