Don't worry Larry, I am as young as you think. I was born in 73 so the show was long gone before I came along. I have never seen it. My first introduction to the Cobra was at a 4th of July parade and car show in the town I grew up in in Nebraska. I was 14 and saw a black cobra. I drooled all over the car at the car show and asked the owner a lot of questions (albeit ones that people tire of like how fast is it, etc...) I remember for years "Shelby Cobra" stuck out in my mind. I always said I would have one. When I couldn't afford it I switched gears to Mustangs and have had a few of them now, but still trying to complete that dream that started 22 years ago.
