I study the ancient people for a hobby. Kinda strange for someone who buys a muscle car isn’t it?

Not at all...back then, you would have had a big club, or maybe you would have been the one who figured out how to fasten a stone to the end of the club to increase its "muscle."

As far as the quote goes, I cannot find the source, but I think I grabbed it from another freeper a few years ago.

If I remember correctly, that car beat the Caldwell Corvette in a 1/4 mile (both factory/vanilla)...

Yes.

For a few years our troopers here in Connecticut had these for pursuit cars. Don’t think they lost many races.

Thanks! That is a nicely done video. The sound is great as well as the shots of the car.

Dad always seemed to have a good bud at the local easy credit used car lot. In the '60s that was 500 Motors in Eugene. Sometimes he'd come home with something nice, sometimes a dog. Here are the extremes, in my view:

I don't know if I'd call it the best looking (that one is real hard to decide), but there was a '56 Coupe DeVille. And yes, it was pink. Probably the nicest car we ever had.

Then there was the Turnpike Cruiser. Ours was a wagon, I don't think there were a lot of them around. Loaded up real good on a family move around 1965, it dropped a valve. Coughing and sputtering, making an occasional very loud bang, it made the final 30 miles of the trip, never to run again.

You’ve got my vote. The Cobra is still my dream car.

Interestingly enough, I have seen pictures of three different clones with the 427SOHC engine. Had a bigger hood scoop, and I know one at least, was a trailer queen, had only been started once, never run. My high point driving was in one of the originals (Street model 427) in 1968. At the time, I had a ‘67 GTO convertible, and thought I was used to a hot car, but the Cobra SCARED me. I still want one.
