I ordered my Cobra this morning and I think I got FFR #4000.
Yeah, right, I wish. (who knows, maybe I did).
But a long held dream is about to come true. Being 58, I’m in the smaller percentage of the demographics for starting a build, but most folks say I’ve never looked or acted my age. I saw my first Cobra in Norfolk, VA back in 1966 while in the Navy. He went by with the two back tires smoking. I had to have one!
The car will be shipped on Sept. 20 and Stewart says I should get it 2 or 3 days after that.
Since registering on this forum, I’ve spent a lot of time reading and copying stuff to make notes in the manual. I’m sure I’ll make a few mistakes along the way, but this list has certainly been helpful in developing a larger knowledge base for this project. It’s also one of the things that helped keep me motivated to find a way to make this happen. The energy, enthusiasm and friendliness here is addictive.
BTW, they’re showing bike races from Virginia International Raceway on Speed. I won a race (1 hour enduro) there in April in my vintage Austin Healey Sprite, which is for sale. Anyone know someone who’s looking for a really good vintage racecar? Details are on my website, who’s look will surely change soon (mucho Cobra content).
Geez, I'm excited. Guess I'll have to get a donor quick and clean out a space in the shop for the snake. The wife is totally on board with this venture so count us in the family.
