Great video-Thanks.

I love that bit. I think I still have the original "200 MPH" LP around somewhere. Thanks for the link.

Glad you liked it, I wasn't born when it came out - but had heard a loooong time ago and found it more funny this summer after driving my first Cobra, can't image what the SuperSnake must have been like in the 60's.

I've seen this several times, but everytime I watch it, it still makes me laugh.
His description of the car is spot on! I can only imagine what driving a Super Snake would have been like. In fact (correct me if I'm wrong), if I'm not mistaken, Cosby's Super Snake changed hands a couple times after he gave it back and one of it's owners was killed in it. The car was just too much of a handfull, especially for people with little training / experience behind the wheel of a race car. |
Grewat video...but if I recall.......
....it was (also) called the "King Cobra", had twin Paxtons on it. Cosby actually stuffed it while negotiating the FIRST corner after leaving his driveway. At least that's the way I heard it....THEN some second-owner (third?) balooga launched it and himself off a towering cliff overlooking the Pacific.
Dunno if any of that is true, but Cosby himself admitted later that his wife was onboard for the "maiden voyage", when he stuffed it. She obviously gave him The Ultimatum after that. Does this sound accurate? |
Oh, and.......
....."Grewat" (in my title) is actually Kurdish slang for "really terrific"....(ar-ar)

Answer for Cosby Super Snake Question - Driver Killed
You are correct, after Cosby returned the car it ended up at the S&C Ford Dealership in San Francisco where a gentleman named Tony Maxey crashed his car over a cliff into the Pacific Ocean, killing him and damaging the car badly. Brian Angliss, owner of CP Auto Kraft in Surrey, England bought the car when they located the wreckage. It has been restored and is expected to show up on the auction block soon.
