Now here's a COE hauler!



This freshly restored Cobra race car hauler was one of the many unique and fast display pieces from the 2012 Rolex Moneterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca.

 

Now there is a bus worth stealing, I mean COE, err Cobra hauler... wait not stealing, crap, um, borrowing indefinitely? Yeah, that's the ticket...

 

I've never seen that before, thats pretty cool!

There were a couple of those - That one looks like the european version

 

i'll only tempt the fates of borrowing it if it comes with the 427 competition bling in the rear compartment .... ( my all time lust after vehicle !!!!!!!!!!!!!! a 427 snake roadster !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ) the wife on the other hand likes anything that looks like a bus so .......... they can park it here if they so wish .......

 

dick if ya blow it up it be right hand drive and got a sticker in the passenger window looks like one i have seen on another european vehicle so i think you are right about it's origins .

 

Could there be any doubt - The original 427 Snake Roadster is the only thing that I would sell my sole for

 

The truck is actually a Fiat, but we won't hold that against it. Here's a story from Hemmings Blog. It's almost half way down the page. There's a lot of other cool articles there, too, so don't get distracted if you want the truck story.

Had the privlidge of being given a ride in a real cobra .The man who fabbed the motor rmts. in the 1ST-RIDE , motor mts. & trans mt. in the T-roadster owned one . It was like a go kart on steroids . I was impressed .That hauler looks as though who ever owns it has no bottoms in his pockets.

 

I got to get up close and personal with a real (street version) 427 Cobra when it was brand new. My girlfriend's father was good friends with the owner of the largest Ford dealership in WNY. It was on the showroom floor when we went to pick up his new Ford at the dealership. I lost my passion for it when I found out I couldn't fit my size 13s around the pedals in the tiny foot box.

i have ridden in a 66 ford fairlane equipped with a tunnel port , dual quad equipped side oiler that was NASTY !!!! so i can only dream about what a 427 cobra is like .........................................

 

They ran that Cobra at the local 1/8 mi drag strip for a while. With the slicks of the day and no traction compounds used on the strip, they could not get enough grip to keep the tires from just going up in smoke the entire distance.

 

0 to 100 MPH and stop in12.5 seconds, what more do you need to know?

PS to Bobby, glad to see you are still using the avatar from all those years ago, the place where I got it is long out-of-business.

Oh yeah, my truck is almost ready to fire up, maybe I should post some recent pics
