Real Cobra, but replica Super Snake?

Shirley "Cha Cha" Muldowney
CraveOnline: How did you get the nickname “Cha Cha?”
Shirley Muldowney: I got it in the late 50s when nicknames were synonymous with the sport of drag racing. I think that is sadly missed today. It was a major part of the sport and I think they need to go back to that and just give us a break with some of this corporate stuff. But I went to a race out in Sanford, Maine back in 1959. That’s when they wrote your class number on your window in shoe polish. I was driving a 58′ red Chevrolet with white top, a convertible all lowered, pretty jazzy looking.
The tech guy wrote it on the car in shoe polish along with the permanent number for that day. It was very small but it looked cute and we decided that we would stay with a nickname cause it was shorter than ‘Shirley Muldowney.’ Tommy Ivo told me I was making the biggest mistake of my racing career if I didn’t keep the name “Cha Cha” on the car and paint it pink so I took his advice.

For Sale: Roller. Doesn't run, needs engine/transmission. 36" wheels.
Might actually be a good candidate for an EV swap.

Saw a Youtube Doc on Yoders, and the lady who's husband built them said then went for $8000-12000 'depending on options' lolol

Beautiful, what are you doing there?
Friends from Indiana wanted to do an Alaskan cruise, so we all went. Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan etc. So beautiful up here. On our way to Victoria now.
We've seen bear, otter, whales, eagles and a number of other small critters. If you haven't been to Alaska, I highly recommend it.

CR500 footpeg vs my shin.
Oh yeah Uncle! I have plenty of those scars too
The CR500 is Porsche’s equivalent of the old 911 turbo (widow maker)
Ivan say, you don't ride CR500, CR500 ride you.
