'70 L78 for sale

Thanks for the compliment. The "Cobrari" is a fun car that really makes people scratch their heads! Last year I put on a Tec coil pack ignition (distributorless) which made about 40 more horsepower, this winter we are playing with EFI. As cool as it is to look at, it is much more fun to have it at 7900 rpm in 3rd gear - ever hear a V-12 Ferrari with open pipes under your ear? Next time you see it, find me and we'll go for a ride.

That is, of course, if the fact that there are many incorrect parts on it doesn't offend you!Not only do I not know what year the horn button is, I'll be dammed if I remember where I got it [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]~! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Ahh - spoken like a guy who buys foreign cars! Oh, wait, didn't you buy one from me?

I'll second that comment. I had a nice email exchange with Colin. He sounds like a good guy. Even though I am a Chevy and Buick guy, I'd love to see that GT500 in person. If I could only come up with a reason to go to WI... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

More reason than free beer? Well, I do have the "Noah's Ark" Judge collection, 1 white/red 70 RAIII 4 speed convert, 3x nat'l GTOAA Gold champ, 1 white/red 70 RAIII 4 spd HT twin; 1 black/black 70 RAIII 4spd w/ a/c, pw, ps and 22 other options convert, 1 black/black 70 RAIV 4 spd HT twin, some funny colored Mopars, a couple of original Shelby Cobras, another 70 Chevelle SS (396/350 4 speed) (for sale soon!),a bunch of funny 'furrin cars, a Paxton S/C 66 GT-350, and some other goofy stuff. We usually have a shop party at some point in the summer and get the city to shut down my street, usually leading to a burn-out (cars, not people) contest by the end of the night [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]. That would be the best time to visit, 'cuase it is just too damn cold right now anyway!

Thanks for the positive feedback, good to know that imperfect or not people still appreciate great cars.

Regards,
Colin

Oh yeah, and since I have known Charley for a while, I really like this thing: [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/CharleySucks.gif[/img]

A ride in the Cobrari, you bet I'm up for that. After watching all those vintage race cars all weekend I'm running the rental car like a hot rod. Last year I got a touring pass and heated up the brakes a bit on the track.

Hey boyz, I was the guy in SD that owned this car, Colin is a great friend and his cars are ALWAYS represented 100% honest. This was a great car and I wish I would of kept it but too many projects and no room. It's anyones game to rip on a car but I can say the dash was perfect and original when I had the car a few years back. This is the ultimate rare car found behind a house story that was fully true!!! Hope it goes to good home! Good luck buyers!

Tim, how about the story behind the car? How did you come to buy it, and what happened?
