Average Age?

[Mother]

I am now 63. I have been building my cobra since I was 57. So far, It has cost me way over what I expected. But that's ok because what I spend on the car, my wife can't spend on new clothes and shoes. I have to have the car finished by March 21, 2013. When it is finished, their will be little left her her to use. That is unless she wants to come with me driving around Canada in my noisey toy.

I am 56, just purchased my first Cobra a few short months ago. It's a Shell Valley with 460/C6. I've been a Cobra fan since I was a young kid but never dreamed I would own one. I've built several cars over the years for myself, my kids, and others as I have some fairly good resources from managing a body shop for 24 years. I finally decided recently that if I was ever gonna get one I better do it soon. I told my wife I was putting my present hot rod up for sale, which I had built 100% of from scratch, to buy me one. She thought I was joking because I really loved my car. After a two month quest I finally found one I really liked and could afford. This car was built by Shell Valley in 1999 and had only 3500 miles on it. It comes with the hard top also which I really like. It's been a bit cool but warm weather is on its way. Matter of fact I'm gonna take a cruise in it today. I've already doubled the miles on it even with it being cool but its just hard to let it stay in the garage.
Enjoy your cars everyone!!

I am 60. I have been smitten since 1964 when I was 12. My wonderful wife told me to get a Cobra and I did. I was 58.

She is driving me in the photo. We went to Replica Car show in Carlisle, PA in 1994, Run and Gun at Norwalk, OH in 1996 and Super Shelby and Ford in Tulsa in 1997. Finally pulled the trigger in 2010 and got Red Backdraft from Vintage. I had never even seen a Backdraft Roadster when I wired Jay the money, but I would do it all over again!
