'67????? why would they go `67????


sorry, it's just that the '67 is my least favorite of the pre-'71s


(unless it's not the basic '67 fb stang of course...)

Without question it would be Kirkham AC Cobra 427 KMS/SC With an aluminum 427 side oiler engine. Polished all aluminum body with stainless steel tube frame.

You have EXCELLANT taste.

IMHO it better than a real Cobra. Perhaps not in appreciation. But for a driver and and for fit and finish it much better. 95% of the components will fit on an original car. The fit is MUCH better than the hand formed originals. The parts that aren't a direct fit are upgrades. And other upgrades still will fit the original cars. Carol Shelby himself uses these bodies on cars he sells.

[quote=""J-Groove""]Kinda, you have to assemble it (put an engine and trans in) in the US and register it as a kit car.

:O I did not know that. But are you sure about that? Because I know there are Noble dealers here in the US. Unless they're selling them as kit cars.

Last I looked into it they were all registered as kit cars. That was a while back. Hmmmm time to do some searching.

They are a work of art aren't they.

[Hannibalzero]

Pure beauty.

Meh, Cobra's are awkward looking cars if you ask me.

Lets tie the rope behind the Cobra and drag him.

Awkward? How so???

You ever compare a 99 front to the front of a Cobra?????

yeah but he'd never touch the ground at that speed


(I remember a C&D review of a 427 Cobra-I think it was an original, not a kit. The writer says "if you reach your hand out at 180 mph, the hot thing is the sidepipe, the rough thing is the ground":lol

Kit cobras are awesome. Got to see one close up at an ice cream shop this past summer, looked very nice, the interior was nice and simple.
I also have a vid of me beating one at the strip this past year.
I stand to my claim that he did not let off

Really considering selling my VR-4 sometime next year to buy a GTM.
