Yes, but there's no apparent end to the number of idiots, as you can readily see on social media each and every day.

I bought my BDR Cobra in May of 2020 and have never regretted a single day. I'm the second owner of this 2011 build. Came with a stroked 351W (392 CID) - more than enough power (420 HP). Nothing like it - such a visceral feeling!

There is an ERA 427 currently up for auction on Bring a Trailer

Here: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...lby-427-cobra/ I did not see an ERA # on the ad, but the dates on it all put it right around mine. There's a reasonably big difference though occurring with chassis #731 and forward. I think I've seen that car before, but I just can't place it. I might have seen it when I was up there visiting.

Hmmm, I wonder if it was this guy, parked in front of me.

Looks like Chassis #693 ...Maybe built around 2006-2007ish ?
