They only made 7-71 Hemi Cuda convertibles. How many Cobra's did they make and how many clones are made of them ???

A better question would be, Which one would you rather have?

Exactly, Sam...I'd give my left nut for a real deal AC Cobra...Hemi Cuda 'Vert? Sorry, I don't see the attraction, kinda like the Z28 'Vert...give me a hardtop instead...

Ask ages 26-45 yrs old and then 45-60yrs old
You like cherries, I like strawberries. Im not going to try to make you like strawberries



I grew up with Muscle cars in my hood, never saw a cobra driving to my Highschool.

I'll take a hard top also. But I'll still take the Cuda.
Their were 7 for the US, 2 for Canada and 2 for Europe. 11 in total. Patrick

That is a matter of preference; I don't think either are worth 5 million dollars. My original point was that if either car was to warrant that much money I think the Cobra or Ferrari is more deserving due to the hand crafted bodies and the racing pedigree they hold. Did they build more Cobras than 'Cuda convertibles? Sure but even the Daytona Cobra coupes, of which they built 6, aren't bringing 5 million and they share the same racing pedigree and a more beautiful aluminum body. Not trying to change anyone's mind here I just would like to know how anyone can justify that kind of money for a musclecar?

I guess some things just can't be explained. Like $150,000,000 for a frame, paint and canvas.

I think Ronnie Sox may have some contention with this...

[/ QUOTE ] The Last Daytona Coupe Sold was the Controversial Phil Spector Car and that went to Dr. Fred Simone in Philadelphia for 4 Million Dollars 3 years ago. He's not Selling. Try the Owner of the Utah Jazz! He has 11 Original COBRA's and a GT40 that won at LeMans, and an Original Daytona Coupe with extensive Racing Victories. and to think, Carroll Shelby is still alive! one can only speculate the price spike when he gets his last checkered Flag!

Another thing I've been thinking about lately is in 30-40 years is the gas availability to run these cars and if there is little gas left will people be willing to pay big bucks for something that can't be driven, especially to a generation in which the majority did not grow up with these cars???...will they eventually become just garage art or will the cool thing be to retrofit an electric or hydrogen engine into them...I hope it doesn't get to that point - electric motors just don't have that spine tingling rumble while they are running.....Either way I'll be in love with these cars till the day I "pass on"

The cars of this type caliber don't get driven now, so it likley won't matter.. Gas that is.
