I was 39 when I purchased and started to build my Cobra. That was in 1989. I'm 62 now. Where in heck did the time go?

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

I had her built and on the road in 92, then a couple years later I took out the 351w and jammed in a 429.

I'm 52 (as of today woo hoo), and have had my Cobra replica for 5 yrs now. I have always loved the look of these cars since I was a kid. I rode in a Cobra replica approx 15 yrs ago and actually was disappointed in the power. It had a stock sideoiler to replicate the original. I swore to myself at that point if I could ever afford one, it would have to have much more power than the original to compliment the looks of the car. I'm a happy man now. Life is good. Cheers.
