this is kinda "off topic" but... georgeous car! they always make me stop in my tracks when i see one.
I know its off topic but I just realized the speedometer runs backwards.... Never been in to cobras and this kind of surprised me.
The originals had Smith's gauges, made in England and used on the original AC Ace which the Cobra is based....The British have a way of doing things backwards....Which kit is that?.....I built 2 of them....A Contemporary in the 80's with a 428 and a Factory5 in the 90's.....Both were great cars and a blast to drive
I think its a continuation car and not a kit. The kits didn't have the badge saying mad eby Shelby America. Thats a nice car that looks like its actually driven and not just parked and polished.
I'm pretty sure the real one's serial #'s began with CSX {Carroll Shelby Experimental}, originals and continuations....As a side note, Shelby is the longest living heart transplant recipient
That car is too fast for an old guy like your Dad. He needs to just send it to me so I can take care of it and enjoy it's true performance.
