With all that outward display of masculinity, I feel sorry for his Wife. If you know what I mean;) Looks like a midlife crisis

Almost a direct copy of the BMW 507 from a few years earlier! ;)

I'd rather have the original design rather than some Cobra copy ';)



(I'm on a roll today! :D)

Ok Rip, if someone approaches me, asking me if I think you'd like a Cobra as a gift, I'll make sure to tell them that you're not interested.

I'd buy a house in the Carribean (with chef and maids) also with dock for a large motor cruiser, a Nissan Skyline GTR, a Subaru Impreza R22, Aston Martin Vantage and aquire an expensive taste in good food and wine.

No, if they say "A cobra or a 507"...take the 507, its worth more.

Look through the front wheelwell.  Do you see the frame strut?  Nope.

The Halibrands are fake too.  They are not knock-offs.  The orginal knockoffs had a hex nut on the top of the spinner.  These don't.  The original Halibrands were also black, not polished center.

The original did not have chromed side-pipes.  The side pipes were covered with a chrome sleve for the production car only, but the headers going into the side pipes were not chromed, nor was the exhaust tip.

The windshield frame, where it is attached to the cowling is not curved in this model.  The 427 had a more bubble hood and cowling to clear the engine.  The top of the windshield frame was also curved in the original.

In the proper stance the tops of the rear tires were not visible on the production model.

Those front bumpers do not look right, but I would need a fuller front view to be sure.

The color is also incorrect.  The original 'red' Cobra (only produced in 1966) was more orange than red.
