Default Cobra delivery in snow !! NY Long Island

Hi all, this is my very first post ! as of today I am officially a Backdraft cobra owner. ! Waited 5 years to make it possible. It was delivery today in NY, Long Island during the snowstorm by covered carrier. All went well but Carrier could not fit down the road to my home. Had to delivery it in a safe place off the main highway. This attracted all kinds of people stopping to video taping etc. I couldn’t believe that even before this car was uncovered, people gathering around it while it was being lifted out. Kinda cool for me as a new owner. At this time there is almost 2 inches of snow on the ground. My home is about a half mile away. Had the top up, heat on, led lights on, wipers on. Never drove a cobra before this and my heart was pounding.....I can tell u it’s not made for snow. !! Guardsman blue, Wimbledon. 427/480 Iconic. Sitting in my garage with it dreaming for a warmer day. ! Be safe everyone !!

Hit 45 today and sunny. I might have taken her out for a ride, but the motor is still at the machine shop. I'm hoping it's done soon so I can start to order parts. Spring is coming and right now I'm Cobraless

took my 66 Fairlane cruising three days this week. 75 degree yesterday. 20 degree last week with ice and snow on the ground. I was stuck at home for six days.
NOT good.

Cruising in the Fairlane makes it better. We have a week of rain forecasted starting tomorrow.

I'll work inside

Congrats on your BDR, great fun car and you'll love the Iconic 427. Warmer weather will be here before you know it.

This being your first Cobra, be gentle at first. As you know, the car has a lot of power and torque and the back tires can kick out real easy.

Enjoy, send photos and be safe!

Gus
