I'm 33 and started researching everything I could about building or having a cobra built about 2 years ago. I think one common idea that we all can identify with is the mid-life crisis issue. Takes a lot of bucks to put one of these babies together and that much more to do it right. I have always wanted one since I was 16 and figured out what it was. At the time I had a show stopper 1941 Ford with a flat head V-8 (all original) that you could work on with a wrench,screwdriver and duct tape. What a car to have @ 16.. until I was introduced to a cobra. We had a car show or show up once a month at the old Jerry's and we would park out back under the drive-ins where the carhop would come out and take your order. The cobra was 2 spaces down and when he started the car the ground shook where I was. From there on it was love at first sight. Makes me want to take a cold shower or step outside for a minute to cool down. I knew from that moment on that no matter what someday I would have one of those. Tadaaaa here we are.
