I had the pleasure of owning this car for 5 years. Sold 2 years ago, a victim of the economy.

Sigh...I had to sell my beloved 93 Toyota Supra TT 6 spd.....(sniff) I loved that car....but things are starting to turn around, started another company, possibly I can afford another one in a year or two!

Marquis de Sod · 04-25-2011, 08:17 PM

guys, tis better to have loved and lost......

at least i hope you drove it like you stole it. i didn't drive mine like that, but my wife did at least. was glad to hear it after it was gone. had to sell it four years back. same deal. 72 SS

not as exotic as a shelby, but i did a complete resto on it while i had it. 8K paint jobs have a way of emptying a bank account. esp when the quote was for $5500!

the cobra was one of the baddest cars ever made. hard to beat that bad boy!

TruthOrLie · 04-25-2011, 08:32 PM

all the money I put into cars I wish I could have it back.

it always seems better til you get it... then its cool til you're ready for something new or can't afford mcnuggets

Economic downturn

It broke my heart to let this go: (not my bike in pic, mine was too recognizable)

Especially after all the carbon fiber, titanium and custom work done. I did ride it like I stole it though

160+

Loving the shelby and the camaro! That shelby must have been such a blast to drive!

I've always thought that the AC Cobras were about the most beautiful thing ever put on 4 wheels. I remember when I was a kid, Mort Sahl wrote an article for Playboy reviewing his new 427 Cobra. He picked it up in Arizona and was cautioned by the dealer not to get on it for the first 100 miles. He carefully followed all of the directions, just babying it along, and when the odometer rolled over 100 miles he downshifted, revved it up, and side-stepped the clutch. He immediately lost it do to the torque steer doing a hard right turn off of the highway and found himself bouncing out across the Arizona dessert. A little hard on the undercarriage, I would imagine.

CSX4795 had no motor when I bought it.

Paid $5500 for a bare 1966 427fe side oilier engine block. $27,000 later I had the motor built. Bored & stroked to 469ci dyno'd at 603hp/635tq. Car weighed the same as a VW 2200lbs, tire shredder! Scary fast!

I could only afford collector car insurance for it with very limited miles. But this car was very well know around the street racing scene in NorCal, while I owned it!

All other cars I have ever seen, or driven, I compare to the Shelby.
Nothing else has ever compared.
She is missed!

peace

P.S. Oh, & no radio, AC, or cup holders, but did have 5 point Simpson racing harness & fire suppression system!
