Awesome looking Cobra!

Love the car.....LOVE the car, Love the history....Love that the pictures were taken in the foggy mist....needed to lose the cheesy air cleaner assembly....should have the correct one IMHO.
Wicked car.

I saw it in person, in Monterey (2017), when it looked like this.

Striking car even then.

That car is such a turn on! The price seemed very right for it. I need to look up the history in the Registry. I agree that the air cleaner detracts from the prehistoric feel of this Cobra. It looks like it ran webers in the 1960s. Throw the webers back on I say.

Stunning car! I think I can make room in my garage for it if anyone would like to donate it.

The Get Smart reference on the hood is priceless!

That's nothing. You should see the naughty photo of Barbara Eden under the hood. :D

Did the cars run really well with 2x4's?
-
Yes they did..... Remember 55 years ago that was cutting edge technology. 2 fours or a stack of webbers was what the DR. ordered. Today a heavily messaged 750 DP will tow most anything around the track. Technology has come a long way from the dark ages. But we love those days so leave everything alone, that one stimulates all the senses.
-
why do they call thse cars slab sides. they are 260 or 289 cobras
-
...maybe it has something to do with the fender edge treatment (flat vs compound rolled flares), and/or the lack of engine compartment fender vents ? Just a thought...
-
The AC Ace fits the definition better......no wheel lips.....that's slab side

The term was coined, most historians agree, in the 1990s when somebody was describing the latest new replicar body style offering coming available. For whatever reason instead of saying a replicar of a stock Cobra, they called out a "slabside" shape and not the “FIA” shape of the cut back door race cars (which were not all “FIA” prepared). The name stuck for replicars and has since grown to include original Cobras EXCEPT the special competition cut back door race Cobras of 1964-65. Some owners of original Cobras find the term distasteful if used to name a 1960s original Cobra of any in period variation factory or otherwise.

I have heard Carroll use the term. Not sure when that first was, but that might mean something.

How about one of her leaning on the hood of HER 69 Cobra Jet Mach 1?

Just to give you an idea of how the car looks like today having it carefully brought back to the livery of its successful years with Chet Mcfallo.
