I'm 34, and have wanted a cobra for A VERY LONG TIME. When I was 15, I wasn't interestd in cars at all, after all, they were only for transportation. I can remember a single conversation with my dad and some of his friends, one of whom worked in a GM assembly plant, about the high perf cars of the 60's, specifically the Daytona's and Superbirds. I couldn't believe cars like this were made. This single conversation sparked my interest into cars, and soon after that I was buying car magazines investigating automotive hi-perf history. I realized I was born 25 years too late. It didn't take long for me to determine that the car I wanted was a 427 cobra. As a highschool kid, I obviously couldn't afford one of these, so I did the next best thing, I bought a cheaper muscle car, my first car, a 65 442 conv. 4 spd, in pretty nice shape for $1000. I have alot of good memories with that car. I had the fastest car in school. I still have the car. I still didn't have my cobra, but I wanted something still faster, so I found a 1970 Mach 1 428 SCJ 4 spd which I quickly purchased from a guy who needed the money for his marriage. I don't know if he is still married, but I still have the car. Finally, I wanted a car to race, to have fun with, and not for just cruising or for car shows, but I didn't want to race the 442 or 428, as these had the original engines, so I bought a 1970 440 Roadrunner(non-original engine), which I've since dragged only several times, and I still have the car. Finally, with a real job, I think I can afford a cobra, but I can't bring myself to sell any of the other cars, although my dad wants me to get rid of the 442 and Roadrunner, as they are at his home, taking up his space. My family is also sick of me talking about cobra's non-stop for the last 2 years, and I'm sure they will get some relief once I purchase my car, hopefully very soon. I've already bought an enclosed car trailer and my engine, both at my dad's, Ha Ha Ha..

I hope I will have a lot of fun with my cobra, spending time with my dad, meeting new people with similar interests, ENJOYING LIFE. My cobra will be not just for cruising or car shows, but also for some racing, both drag and road racing. I'm sure glad I live in the US.
