There are so few actual Shelby Cobras left, that it would be a once in a lifetime sight.

Yes, let's do our best to ruin his experience. Opa!

No need, it already looks like a bag of shite.

I disagree...the Cobra is one of the high points in automotive history.
Carroll Shelby wedged a giant set of balls into a nice (but gutless) British roadster and created what has to be one of the most unique driving experiences ever.
Just ask j2, he's a big fan (and even has some authentic Cobra parts stashed in his basement).

Yes, just ask me.

A 427 SC Cobra would do 0-100-0 in less than 14 seconds, and a razor-sharp tune might get you 13.

A monster-motor in a chintzy British chassis just strong enough to keep it off the ground.

I had the privilege of getting my doors blown off by one back in '77, just outside Atlanta on Bankhead highway.

One of the greatest moments of my life. :)

BTW-

The one on the picture is surely a repro (probably the Fargo version); the doors were lengthened for easier entry/exit.

Also the owner decided to go top-shelf with the correct wheels, with real knock-off hubs.

A beautifully executed vehicle.

I've never seen one of these on the road before. It was a loud car, I was all the way down the street and could hear the guy reving his engine clearly.

What a beautiful car.

Actually, it's one of them GT500Es, I believe.

Built in like '67, maybe, but rebuilt in 2002 or 2003 by Shelby, so there.

You have to point out tho' that for the same money you can actually buy a decent car.
