Default Cool GTO footage.

G'day all.

I came across this video whilst cruising through a Ferrari forum.

Now I know it's not Cobra related, but who can deny that one of the Cobra's greatest antagonists isn't one hell of a beautiful beast.

Enjoy.

Steve.

Great footage Steven. The narrator has a superb voice and is an example of how well some Americans can use English.

Thanks so much for sharing. Great footage along with the narration.

You're welcome gents.

What's really amazing is the age of these guys "back in the day", absolutely thrashing around what were to become multi-million dollar treasures.

How about that olive drab paint!

Enzo would have been somewhat unimpressed I'm sure!

Steve.

What I find interesting in the narration is the fact that these guys were all in their early to mid 20's. I know the cars value today, but I am most certain those cars were still quite pricey in those days as well...far beyond the realm on the average 20-something crowd. Big family money I assume and from Hollywood/Beverly Hills no doubt...considering the road footage other than Willow Springs.

Ha!

Well Pete, there's only nine minutes and forty four seconds of fame there.

Where's the other 5 minutes and sixteen seconds?
