65 cobra & dj2

[427shark]

My father picked up a 65 cobra today and I actually got to drive it for about 45 minutes to his house . . Very very enjoyable experience to say the least if your a car guy. The weather was perfect for today for the cruise.

The car is very specially in the way that it has a real, vintage 1968 427 NASCAR side oiler engine with duel quad tunnel port heads & intake. Backed buy a NASCAR spec top loader four speed adds up to tons of fun.

Did a little research and found that Carroll shelby actually went to Chevy 1st to produce the cobras but was turned down. Chevy didn't want e corvette to have any competition, so ford was actually the second choice. Imagine if Chevy picked up shelby how different things would be. Also the cobra is a British design originally meant to have a 289 I believe
