Unmistakable

Unmistakable

Is there another car that's more easily recognizable than a 427 Cobra? Not if you were a male teenager in the 1960s. Even today, my head turns when one goes past. Sadly, that's not very often. But still…

What's really rare is seeing an authentic '60s Cobra

I've seen many "Cobras" over the years but the vast majority have been the many replicas that are available. Nonetheless this is indeed one of the most iconic shapes of all time.

Reshared post from +Mike Elgan
