Looks like I am among the old guys
I am not a Cobra owner or builder....yet. My first look at a Cobra was on the floor of a Ford dealer in Portland, Oregon in 1964. It was a basic 64 Cobra 289 using the same 271 hp 289 that was in the 64 Fairlane I was driving then. Best I recall the sticker on that Cobra was something like $6395. Can't count the times I wished I had the funds to buy it on the spot! At this point I am just thinking about building a Cobra. I've been in the import auto repair business since 1966, and since 1993 have had my own shop.
Almost retired now, will be 62 in 10 days.
