"Worn" Trackday Cobra

this is what a proper 427 looks like (actually the last ones had a 428 engine because it was cheaper. this one should have the 428 but that is in storage and a 427 side oiler fitted. car is insured for around £400,000)











427 street version so no hood scoop, no roll bar and rear exit exhausts.

I like it a lot

3 wheel motion y0!

If you think that's cool, there's a genuine one-owner 427 Cobra over in the US which looks pretty similar and runs autocrosses and whatever else the owner feels like. The car has a built-up race motor with plenty more horsepower than the original. The owner bought it brand new and has been using it in amateur motorsport ever since. I'll try and find some pics of it.

Edit: Here's a pic of the one I was thinking of.



I had remembered the paint being ratty, but obviously I was wrong. The main thing though is that it's a REAL Cobra which still gets driven hard on a regular basis, not only on the track but also on the street as well. A very cool way to enjoy your million-dollar plus car! ;D Mind you, the owner bought it brand-new over 44 years ago, so he's probably still making a significant profit on his investment!

Looks pretty good. Glass body, old C reg, wonder what it's registered as?

I got a niggling sort of "I seen that before" feeling too.. so I just had a dig in the mag pile - Kit Car, August '88
