And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
yeah, like tats on a beautiful woman.....Lessens the value.
I've driven an original and I gotta say that, while a LOT of fun, they don't drive all that great compared to modern sports cars. Which isn't to say that I would turn one down if you gifted me one
Ran across a 1964 Road and Track or Car and Driver awhile back, can't remember, I CAN remember that the Cobra did 0 to 100 in 10 seconds with the 260 small block. With a light weight Ford small block, I'll bet they were very nimble and super fun!
The 2 stripes on the drivers fender are to distinguish one team car from another at a glance during the race. You'll see variations with 1 or 2 stripes and different colors. I've read that the Shelby racing team's cars had the racing stripes everywhere, under the hood, the trunk etc.
Pity about all the decals.

The replicas are going for 6 figures.
ReplyDeleteCan a person over 6' tall " comfortably " drive one.
ReplyDeleteBeen looking at the factory 5 kit.
Looks like a fun project.
Yes.
DeleteBut I should mention the Cobra was built for speed rather than comfort.
DeleteLucky number 13.
ReplyDeletePass.

ReplyDeleteMy friend has one with a 302 and it is scary fast. All aluminum frame fiberglass body. It is like strapping an outboard to your belt to go swimming.
