Talking Gurney/Grant Targa Floria Cobra roadster

I don't have the number right here handy...I saw them in Italy in the 60's.. there were two cobras both light (portofino ?) blue...Phil Hill' had a yellow nose bar and Gurney's had a red one...Jesus, those cars were something, those big American V8 's (289's)would just shake the ground...the European's just went nuts over the sound...Dan was damn near a foot taller than most of them and looked over the top of the windshield...Grant drove like a man possessed...I though then that if I ever had a Cobra, it would look like that.. and so this month I will pick up a Superformance in those colors...going to be a Walter Mitty Kick in the butt !!!
