i drove across the country to look at an orange 429 SCJ with a shaker and slats...looking back..i should have bought it..but it wasnt yellow...they just look right in yellow to me </div></div>
One of my "one that got away stories" is a Competition Orange 4-speed shaker car. Very nice driver in Beatrice NE. and I passed on it for five grand. This was in '97 and I'd just bought a new Mustang GT and was dumping all my money into trying to get that pig 4.6 2 valve engine to run half as good as my old 5.0 stuff.
Of course, a year later we'd all learned the hard way that early two valves were never going to run as good as a 5.0 no matter how much time and effort you put in it, which made passing on the Cobra even more irritating, and my shiny new Mustang was parked outside on the far side of the garage so I wouldn't have to look at it. I picked up a Grabber Blue 429 Torino GT and then about a year later a medium blue 4-speed non-shaker Cobra. Both great cars but I could never get that Orange snake out of my head.
I know where there's a blue 71 Cobra that could be bought, but it's "just" a 351 4V car... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]
