Hi,
I'm Mike from San Anselmo, Ca.
I am totally shocked I have developed this Cobra obsessive compulsive affliction, it is totally out of character. There is just something about them, I saw a beautiful silver 427 while taking my family to the Monterey Bay Aquarium two years ago and I haven't been able to forget it. I am in negotiations with my wife and am gearing up for a long campaign of bribery and all out beggary to get my dream car.

I have been reading the forum for several months and have been very impressed by the knowledgable, friendly, community. It is very obvious that this is the place to learn about Cobras.

I am intrigued with the idea of buying or having built a 289 FIA with Le Mons top. in order drive year round in Northern California weather with an emission friendly coyote 5.0 engine, It sounds crazy but I am interested in a semi daily driver inspired by 1963 CSX 2142.

Does anyone have advice for which make of car would be a good candidate for daily driving (semi-weather resistant) yet still be fun to merge with authority.

Thanks for any advice,
Mike
