I think that's the first time I ever heard of a Cobra, even a 260 powered one, being referred to as "stealth." I was a teenager when they came out and every gearhead knew from the start what they were capable of and not to be messed with. And having "Hey Little Cobra: written about it didn't exactly keep it under the radar.
Anyway, I agree it's an absolutely beautiful car.
