Love of a Cobra...
 True Shelby Cobra lovers know what a special car they have. I was soon to turn 16 in high school when a friend shared a car mag. On the cover was a 1965 427 Shelby Cobra sitting along side of a 427 Corvette. (Does anyone remember the issue?)Working summer jobs and nights after school, I asked my dad to borrow me about $2,000. to buy the car and I would pay back the differance. He quickly advised me, this car was more expensive then his buick and would make a very poor investment. When I turned 17, I followed a original grey 427 Shelby Cobra and the true love affair started. Four years ago, I was driving a new Z-06 and found the car that looked like the one I saw back then. The Corvette was a great car, but the Shelby Cobra will never become old in my mind. My son has already spoken for it one day. |

I remember it. The pic you are thinking of, though, was not on the cover. It was farther back in the rag. On the cover, of all things, was an Olds Toronado. It was the November, 1965 issue of Car and Driver and the pic you so fondly remember is this:

The stats were from Car and Driver, the photos were from Car Review, either the 1/85 or 11/85 issue, that is/was my car, CSX 3183. The car was on the cover on one of those issues, and inside on both.
