"Much later (late 70s), I started being flown around in a client's plane by his pilot...a guy named Dick Smith. Most of the time just the two of us for 2-3 hours each way, so I'd sit in the co-pilot's seat and have to listen to him talking about freeking Cobra this and freeking Cobra that. Sucker never repeated a story. "
Jamo... I envy you the time you spent with Dick Smith!
For me it wasn't the racing history that attracted me to the Cobra but the combination of appearance and purpose. The Cobra simply looks and acts the part; it is what it should be, nothing more, nothing less.
For aircraft a P51, Spitfire, or DC-3 is the same as the Cobra. Precisely what they need to be.
Other cars? 246 Dino, Ferrari P3/4, GT40, Porsche 917, and maybe even a Countach (not perfect, but it defined a supercar for years).
