I would have voted for the Coupe to be the '68 Cobra rather then the Lone Star. ........
I had heard that Carroll didn't care for the car ............
Ever sat in or driven one of the original coupes? Cramped/hot/noisy/etc not something you'd expect to sell many of for street use.
CS bad mouthed the Coupe ("damn thing didn't work") when he was trying to (sue?) get Pete Brock from making any money on the replicas so he could again line his pockets for someone else's work.
It's a Cobra with a roof. The criticism is redundent. Ever drive a "Shelby" without A/C? Very little difference. Want to talk about cramped? Ever sit in or drive a "40"?
My Pantera ain't exactly made for NBA or NFL players either.
Everything was money for ole' Shel'. He didn't want to bring any of the Cobras back from Europe. They were just used race cars no one wanted.
Who exactly was the intended target for the Lone Star? Actor Michael Dunn?
