Hello and thanks

I know a company that toyed with resurrecting one like this as a roller:

I don't know about the rest of these guys, but when you pop the hood and show off the engine, you lose the WOW factor with a coyote engine.

Why buy a 50 year old design with no power steering, cruise control, antilock brakes, launch control, electric windows, cup holders, decent heater and then put a modern fuel injected, electronic snakepit that you won't be able to work on even if you wanted to.

If your goal is to have a sports car that handles well, is comfortable, isn't loud or stinky, then there are better choices out there.

For me, a cobra is meant to have a smelly, throbbing, cantankerous, leaky pushrod engine that always needs attention just like the originals did (with a few modern upgrades).

But that's just me.

I disagree. At our cars and coffee, every Saturday, there's always a big group of people admiring this Coyote set-up. Maybe within the purist Cobra group (who are all most likely driving a fake/replica cobras) there will be some nose snubbing, but the rest of the planet will have plenty of WOW!!

They're just being kind!

Kind of like when your friend shows you his new baby for the first time and the child is really ugly.

This was the last one they built, called a Sagaris. If my memory serves me right that also had a 4.0 litre straight six with 400+hp. There is a firm in the uk reconditioning these cars now and dropping in the LS7 Chevy motor. These cars are similar in weight to a Cobra and have no electronic driver aids, other than PAS and they can be a real handful......just like a Cobra!
