CSX4350 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Actually, the one running around at the Bash was my dark green one, which is the car they photoshopped and made black for the publicity pictures for the 50th cars. It was running around out at the Bash. I never saw it - somebody must have some pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSSNAKE Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I saw it sitting outside the offices next to the museum on Sunday morning before the car show, nice. With the 50th anniversary badges affixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSX4350 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Wow, OK, I thought it was on its way to B-J by then.

SSSNAKE Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Wow, OK, I thought it was on its way to B-J by then. John Luft spoke of it "running around" there and having a "wine" interior (as Roger called it) during the car show. It had the wire wheels and distinctive 50th Anniversary badges. Very nice.

68GT350CV Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Pics and specs are on Becker's website. goplanetcobra.com They are all going to be Black with red/wine colored interior. SAI said that 10 were sold by the weekend. I had several people wanting to see if they fit in my 8000, because they were considering ordering one.

stephen_becker Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I just talked to Gary Patterson on-the-ground at Barrett Jackson and SAI has taken deposits for/sold 15 of the 50th anniversary cars since the cars introduction on Monday night - I would have to guess the 50 to-be-built cars will be sold out by EOM. http://www.goplanetcobra.com/50th-anniversary-cobra.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing 15 total as of yesterday. Marji and I talked about the 50th on our drive home Sunday................She suggested since I don't have garage space that I sell 7076 and order the 50th . I was going with lets order the 50th and use Enis's idea of buying a 5 car garage with a house attached . Lets just say we're still negotiating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex You'll love this one Alex. Last year, after I picked up the SS from your shop, I told Marji how cool your place was. Open a door.......more cars. Go into another room........more cars. I said "I gotta get a place like that to keep our cars". Her reply....................."THAT'S HIS BUSINESS............HE'S NEEDS THAT SPACE FOR WORK". After 5 seconds of thinking for a perfect reply, all I could come up with was..........."so" I don't know brother..............seems I'll never learn.

shelbymotorsports Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Stephen Becker posted on SAAC forum yesterday that all 50 of the cars are sold. Yuppers on that. About all you can do now is to call Roger and let him know that if anyone backs out on sending in their deposit that you'll step up to the plate. Although I have a feeling Roger may already have enough people already on that list. The 50th Anniv Cobra was a steal in my opinion. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbowles22 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Beautiful car, beautiful piece of history. Congrats to the luckey 50 who have one on order. I wonder how many fiberglass vs. aluminum where sold? The wire wheels aren't my thing but it's still a beautiful piece of machinery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSX4350 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 WOW, sold more slabsides in 1 week than in the last 10+ years. If I had to guess I'd say virtually all, if not all of them were fiberglass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSSNAKE Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I briefly considered it but $70,00 w/o drivetrain is a little rich for me. Too bad, I saw the car on Sunday, it was purty for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68GT350CV Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I am glad I already got my CSX8000! The wait for the Cobra shop to build 50 on top of all of the 4000's is going to be long. I was very fortunate that it only took 10 months for CSX8289. I recently heard that it was well over a year wait prior to the introduction of the 50th anniversary edition. Great car worth the wait!!!
