grsybtch Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Early Cobras have become desirable cars When were they not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeljgt500kr Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Well, I remember back in 1970, I found a CSX 2000 series for sale in my home town in NM. We all laughed that the guy wanted $1500 for it. It was in decent shape, but had been raced and the interior was trashed. He sold it for $800. Very few wanted them in the '70s. I think the article is referring to 7 figure kind of "desirable". That is pretty recent. Edited July 3, 2014 by mikeljgt500kr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeljgt500kr Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Well true, emotionally today us Shelby fanatics would never dream of passing up a real Cobra. But I have to admit, in the '70s my dream car was to get a '68 1/2 Cobra Jet Mustang, the Cobra just looked like a tiny, funky foreign car compared to those beasts……..

I had a book of all the "exotic" cars of the day, and out of all the beautiful Italian machines of the 60's I fell in love with the 427 Cobra! Well, that and the Pantera.........I guess I've always had a Ford fetish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY500SS Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I remember seeing my 1st Cobra (in person) back in 81. Our neighbor at work just purchased a 1966 427 S/C and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen let alone heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
