My other classic car is a 1963 Corvette coupe. I've owned it since 1978. ... I like this shade of red.

The builder claims that twin-turbo Vette has 2,400 HP, is streetable, does 0-60 in one second, and runs the quarter in the sixes. .... But I don't think he has a Cobra, so he doesn't count here.

Aside from my Vauxhall Vectra GSi 3.2 V6 for every day  , I also own a 1966 Singer Chamois (Hillman Imp) race car - 930 cc, heavily modified, estimated 90 horsepower and under 1500 pounds  ...
... And a 1975 Triumph Stag - 3.0-litre Triumph V8, manual transmission, undergoing full restoration by me. 
No Cobra yet, though. Some day.

Picked up an unmolested '69 Chevy C10 Shortie a few months back...she's at the resto shop right now for full frame-off. Hope to pick her up next month, then drop the tired 350 for an all-aluminum 427!
Pretty soon she and Aunt Bea will be out in the garage together swapping stories about the screamin' sixties!

I have a '70 Chevy CST10 Stepside - it's a driver. What's the ballpark cost for the restore that you noted on your '69, excluding the engine?
By the way, the 60's was the most recent decade that wasn't almost totally forgettable, except for the music of the 70's and early 80's. |

Amen to that, Bliss! I was born in '60 (oh dear, I just gave up my age, didn't I?), and as far back as memory allows I have been a car fanatic. I'd always loved the 67-72 C10's; my dad took delivery of one of the first K5 Blazers in TX back in '69. He taught me to drive in that truck when I was just 9 years old...what a wonderful memory...saw my first Cobra (an original) that same year and fell in love!
As far as this truck goes, the full frame-off nut 'n bolt resto with shaved drip rail, shaved door handles, fuel tank relocation to bed, etc will run just shy of 20k. I'd love to have done some of the work myself but, sadly, I have neither the time nor the expertise. I am merely a weekend tinkerer!

Well crap...follow-up to the post I entered a couple of hours ago re: '69 C10 resto...
Just got off the phone with the resto shop...seems that the shop owner died in his sleep over the weekend. I didn't know him well, but he really did look like a walking stroke, so not all that suprising. Sheesh...that poor guy was my age, 52, and the shop guys have no idea what will now become of the business. And, unfortunately, my truck is still in a million pieces. Oy veh...
I need to go drive my Cobra now so I can smell those roses!!!
