Buddies original 427 Shelby Cobra

[D1SC_GT]

He just finished the resto and spared absolutely no expense. The pictures dont do this thing justice!

Sorry but like 99% sure that's not an original 427.... Beautiful car though.

Original or not, that thing is sweet!

Post up a pic of the factory build plate to prove it's an actual 1965 (or so) car. Should now be worth above one million dollars. Several sold last year for more than 1.5 million.

These must be original 1965 cars. NOT continuation cars built by Shelby today.

But any way you look at it he has a really pretty car. How does it sound?

Those fittings definitely look original.

Original eh?

All ball breaking aside that thing is sweet

I specifically said it was a resto.

Anyways, I guess it isn't an "original" that was built 50 years ago, but Im almost positive it isnt a replica. I think that he had an original chassis or shell. I dont know a whole lot about the oldschool cobra's, all I know that he put a HELL of a lot of work (and $$$$$) into this thing. He did all the resto work himself, not bad for a 70+ year-old

Title states original brotha.. It's not biggie.. Just most people catch it right off the bat, especially people who know the heritage of those cars.. It's a replica.. All cars that aren't the originals are replica's.. Even the "continuation" that shelby did are all replica's..

It's a badass car none the less. My dad had a ERA car that was so correct only a concours judge could tell the difference.. They are amazing cars, and extremely dangerous to drive lol.

I see kit GT40s occasionally, and see these cars as well, and I can't decide which I'd rather have.

Looks sweet.

I'd rock it

Lets see... "finished the resto" means finished the restoration, especially when you title the thread "Buddies original 427 Shelby Cobra". Nice try.

Nice car, but thread title failure.

Beautiful car.... I will have one day! I'm wanting a backdraft racing RT3B though... so much $$$, but I will have one, one day! Lol

Still a beautiful cobra. I love the color.

 

[CobraBob]

Would that be an absolute blast to own/drive or what. Gorgeous Cobra there. I give the owner credit for putting (apparently) so much money and time into it to do it right.

The guy is an inspiration to me. Yes, he's got a lot of money. His garage is a dream in itself. He constructed his own painting booth and painted the car himself. Built the motor himself, did EVERYTHING himself. The best art is that is a 74 year-old man with health problems. He still does/did it because of the passion. Incredible

Sounds like he's a great role model. Learn all you can.
