Even though this is a kit, Lord would drive one of two Cobras made. Carol Shelby made one for him and one for Bill Cosby. It was powered by a 428 Cu In Ford with 2 Four Barrel Carbs that were fed by 2 PAXTON SUPERCHARGERS !

They also had Automatic Transmissions. They would do 0 to 60 in 4 seconds top out at over 185, and you didn't have to shift it, He He....

Listen to an old Cosby album the skit about the car is funny. Cosby sold it cause it scared him. They guy he sold it to I think put it Lake Tahoe, I don't know if it has been restored. I don't know what happened to the one Shelby had, though I think this one may have been restored.

Can any Cobra Nuts help me on this one?

I don't know what became of Cosby's 427 Cobra. I remember the joke, though. Cosby said he was intimidated by the power of the car, and the punchline was when he supposedly handed the keys back to a Shelby-American employee and said "Take this car, it's already paid for, and give it to George Wallace". Hah, hah.

IMHO, if Jesus were driving a Cobra, it would have a 427 SOHC under the hood. That is, after all, God's Engine. ;-)

I'm more inclined to agree with the heavy-duty pickup truck being more appropriate for a carpenter. 4x4, tool box, bumper winch, the works. Functional, but not grandiose.
