OT: Dream Car?

[davnlaguna]

That is exactly what I came to post. I love this car.

When I was up driving from Vancouver to Whistler I had a string of about nine of them fly by me the other direction.

You see a few of these in SoCal, mostly replicas. Even those sell for 25-60K
My dad almost bought one in the early 70s. He was on a test drive and hydroplaned under a bridge. Scared him and he went out to think for an hour. When he went back it was sold. Knowing my parents I would have been an orphan within a year if he had got it.

for the mid sixties this was moving fast

The Cobra was perhaps too successful as a performance car and reputedly contributed to the implementation of national speed limits in the United Kingdom. An AC Cobra Coupe was calculated to have done 186 mph (299 km/h) on the M1 motorway in 1964, driven by Jack Sears and Peter Bolton during shakedown tests prior to that year's Le Mans 24h race
