I saw my 1st Cobra when I was about 13 on a friend of the Family's fire place mantle. I went on to say how much I liked Corvettes. Someone corrected me explaining that it was no corvette, it was a cobra. I argued, no it isn't it's a corvette, I know cause my dad has one! Fast forward quite a few years... I pulled into a 76 station to fill up & in pulls a 427 cobra, probably a replica but a fine example if it was. That's when the Obsession started. The sound, the smell & the look of the A/C & Shelby cobra just does something to the senses of any self respecting man that cannot be explained without positively bad words. Thank You Carroll Shelby for turning your dream into a reality & inspiring so many car dorks
