Not True!
 
[quote=number 1 cobra;957110] cobra built by Robnell and Caroll Shelby .

That second bit is not true.
Bob Darnell built it ,copying every other kit available. He works a sandwich shop now in Sth yarra melbourne, perhaps you should catch up with and get the real story.

Remember the ad very well. Ampol actually ran a contest where you received an entry form for every $20 petrol purchase and you went into the draw to win that cobra. I had a mate who worked at the local Ampol servo and somehow:rolleyes: ended up with 10 books of 100 entry forms. Sever writers cramp ............ 1000 entries...... didn't win:CRY: 20 years later had to buy one

Theres a possibility Im getting confused, as the altheimers is starting to kick in, but the competition I remember the entry form had a series of pictures from the add with the cobra - except one wasnt from the add. You had to pick which one wasnt in he add. I only sent one entry in - no wonder I didnt win. ;)

ebay posters
 
Hey Iva , were the posters on ebay original or copies , there are a lot of copies and reprints out there , and if original do you remember prices , i sold an original shelby poster to the Europe about 18mths ago for $240 and i thought that was cheap , thanks

I imagine they were copies,they were not much more than 20 bucks including postage and laminating, but good copies at that,and well worthy of hanging in the shed .

If i'm remembering right the bloke that won the car was 18 yrs old and didn't have his license yet .:CRY:
