Default New Cobra in the garage!

A friend decided to sell his beloved Cobra this last week and I couldn't resist. The kids are having a blast. We spent half a day changing the battery out, putting in a new starter switch, changing oil, and putting a plug in it. Then we finished it off with a few coats of wax.

Very cool. You need to go to a muffler shop and fab up a roll bar.

It is chain driven with a centrifical clutch. It does about 35mph.The cool part is the electric start with remote choke up front. So the little guy can jump in and start it all by himself...Even when it is cold out. Time for some slicks now.

That must be a replica, it doesn't have knockoff's
If it was a continuation it would.
Cool

Jake ...

Very cool car and extremely cool pictures

There are some good suggestions here, a few little do-dads here and there would add a custom look to the car

Jake,

So it starts even in the cold? It must be fuel injected. This is great. Where did you get it? I bet your son is proud of his Cobra. I know he's all smiles when he rides with you.

Very cool Jake. I have a good friend that can bend you up a stainless roll bar and some side pipes. I can then hook up the side pipes to the engine and it will sound cool!

Bruce, I traded another go cart to a buddy for it. If you do a google search for Cobra go cart there is a company that makes a similar cart. They are pretty expensive though.

Ray, I think I will leave this one stock. The neighbors already say it sounds like I am starting up my Cobra in their living room every time I fire up the car.
