I can't get enough of these King Cobra photos! The 'Cobra crowd' snubs this car for two reasons. One, because it was not a true pedigree Shelby backed racer with a history of 'famous drivers' and two, they consider drag racing a simpletons sport not needing any skill.
Don't ya just wanna jump in that thing and sidestep the clutch!!
Thanks for the pics...(got more?

Here's a photo of the car back in the day. From a Marty Schorr book on Fords. The caption says the owner was Clem Hoppe of Ridgefield, NJ, and that he had converted the car to drag use from a stock 427. The car held a NASCAR national record of 10.64/131mph with a 427 medium riser, 4-speed, 4:88 gears.

Here's a similar drag-only 427. This one was sponsored by Harr Ford and driven by Gus Zuidema.

This car is still alive and well. I just read a blurb about it in Hemmings Muscle Machines. Great PICS!
