Thank you Greg !! I already feel very welcome !!

Was just about to post another photo from the interior - this is how I got the car in June. For my eyes, at least, a progress ! :D
I didn´t like the gauges and switches at all and the fire system has been expired in 2003...

And a link to a quick video we did a few days ago - I am hoping the weather will continue to be fine for some time.

The speedo on the phone does read KM - I am not speeding !! :P 8)

Awesome video, thanks for sharing!  It is hard to beat the sound of a finely tuned SBF running through open style mufflers and straight exhaust.

Very nice, thanks for the video
Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

Welcome Ralf.

I started with a replica but sold it when I bought my 66 Shelby.

Good to see you have the passion, and now that the bug has bitten, it wont be long before you scratch the itch for a genuine one.

Good luck

Hi Ralph , you are welcome!! No problem with replica when the owner doesn't try to pass it for a real one !

+1 welcome !

Great country road in Deutschland.  Viel Spass!

Thank you all !

Ross - the itching has been there for quite a while !! :D 8)

SUPER NICE FB tribute !!!

I will never own a real one, too far out of reach. So the tribute would be the route I'd have to take.

BTW, I thumbed-up your YT video 👍🏻

Speed Six

Thank you - glad you like it !!
Yes, owning a real one unfortunately isn´t easy anymore.....
I also would like to add a FIA Cobra to the stable, but original ones are out of reach and new built ones we can no longer register in Germany. At least not legally and as historic car, which I would need to use it in historic events.
