Surely Rip is not foolish enough to think the wimpy BMW compares to the 427 Cobra in any aspect of desirability?

the pipes were made of stainless on the originals and compleatly smooth no glass pack bubble in them . (I have worked on 3 sets of the original pipes and we get a pretty penny for repairing them)
alot of the small block pipes came painted though.
I have to agree w/ Skuzzy alot of stuff looks wrong on that one , as for ive worked on originals befor (small blocks only )

I wish some one would bring me a FE model for awhile :D

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

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


hate to spoil it, but cobra styling is actually from the AC Ace, unveiled 1954.

The BMW 507 had its debut at the 1955 Frankfurt Motor Show.







in your face bmw dweeb! :D

Win the Lotto?

Step 1:




Step 2: (To put a smile on my dad's face)




To drive... pah... just about anything with a good airconditioner and  lots of room for four 6'4" people would do.

Yep, and the Ace is nearly a copy of a Ferrari 375 Mille Miglia.  We've had this discussion before.  :)

Skuzzy may be right, but the owner said it was a real Cobra... 1965.

Maybe it's been modified a bit.

Doesn't matter much anyways.  A lot of the replicas are quicker and better handling than the originals.

He may have been sold a bill of goods MT.  That car is not an original.....it may have some original parts in it (Ford did sell the die-cast 'Cobra' emblem on the dash until about 1975).

He claims it is a 65?  Ok,..the only front bumpers for the 65 model were the extended push-bars.  The bumpers in that picture were not available until 66 and I am not sure they are correct, but the rounded ends give it away as not being a 65.


Furball,..anyone that knows what a torque wrench is, knows the AC Cobra was derived from the original stampings of the AC (hench the name AC Cobra).
