Kevin WatsonApr 08, 2012 @kevin, I totally agree with that. Dan too.
Kevin IrishApr 06, 2012 Agreed. And when he does, or if he, finally passes, it should stay in his family or go to a museum.
Roberto MoralesApr 03, 2013 This was the first cobra that came out. It might be a 1964 or 1963
Patrick R. ManuelApr 07, 2012 I actually thought the Ford RS200 was fastest 0-100 and back to 0 until the GTS?
redskinz10Apr 06, 2012 Just left the auto show and I'm glad I got to see this car in person...
Carlton SalmonApr 06, 2012 This car was the reason why the UK has a 70mph speed limit. Love it so much it hurts. And what a lovely colour too...
Dillon DixonApr 06, 2012 The beginning of my favorite car! Such a magnificent car!
Chris PenzaApr 06, 2012 I agree. Nothing could beat these in the 60's and 70's
Buddy RobinsonApr 06, 2012 It's like America's Mclaren f1, it was absolutely ground breaking, though a bit more simple
Rami WilsonApr 06, 2012 The fore father of the legend. The fastest 0-100 and back to 0 until the '96 Viper GTS dethroned it. 30 years is a long time to hold a performance record.
Roberto MoralesApr 03, 2013 This what you would call " a real car" , every one thinks that farrari were a real car but a original cobra fetched 8 million at barrat Jackson
Matthew HayesApr 09, 2012 This car normally sits in the lobby of the shelby headquarters in Las Vegas - you can go there and see it. A shelby worker told me that everything is completely original apart from the paint job - Carroll Shelby was offered $23mil for it and declined
Lee DarmaninApr 09, 2012 I understand the idea that having worn seats adds character but they still are a bit TOO worn out for my liking..
Matthew PaulApr 07, 2012 Well you cant even spell retarded, so you don't get an opinion. This car is a work of art.
I'm not worthy!

Zack HerzerApr 06, 2012 Once I sat in a race prepped elva and it was friggin awesome! Same type of rollbar. The driver seat was all beefy though.
Paul DickeyApr 06, 2012 Not restoring the seats was a great idea. Adds a ton of character.
Jared JoynerApr 06, 2012 Just think of all the drivers who sat in that seat why restore something so classic and full of history
Adam LopinskyApr 06, 2012 Personally I think it's Lina cool they didnt restore it
Andrew GrimmApr 06, 2012 The outside is mint but it's a shame the seats are worn. But you can't really keep leather in great condition for half a century.
Sadly, no he won't. RIP Carroll Shelby :(
