Found this link on the SAAC Northwest FB site.
That is the wildest paint scheme on a Cobra I ever saw. I like it!
Would be intimidating to see that appear in your rearview mirror!

It certainly would grab your attention.

Previously owned by Bob Parker from the Portland, OR area since 1971. He was a very nice guy. True Cobra/Shelby enthusiast. He drove that car everywhere rain or shine. He restored the car a couple of times. Bob and the car are icons to the SAAC NW club.

Dr. Gil Weed raced the car in the snakeskin livery in 1965-1966.

Kool photos. Thanks for posting.
From Fred Gehring:
"He dove that Cobra in all kinds of weather if he thought enough of the event. Parker's and Gehring's Shelby's pre-staging for the Veteran's tour / parade down Veterans Memorial Highway Interstate I-205. Started at Clark County Fairgrounds and ended at Camp Withycombe in Clackamas County. Go ahead and post them on The SAAC Forum if you want. Thank, Fred G." - in 2004.

I take it the snakeskin is gone on the car. I'd put it back on myself.

Snakeskin was on in 1965-1966, then red, blue and now bare aluminum with snakeskin wrap since 2021.

Any pics with the snakeskin wrap? That car is worthy of an oil painting rendition of it.
This an interesting story about the Cobra and owner. It would make a good article for the "Shelby American". 8)

I agree. Also a diecast of the car would be interesting...
