Finally home!!!!! October 20, 2005. Rick had the car ready to go yesterday afternoon and it runs smooth, and as my wife remarked when we took a little ride in it 'we can actually talk while we drive this car". Amen

Well this is probably the last time I am going to post photos of my car, for a while anyway, until something new is added or modified. I have enjoyed sharing my build with all of you guys. Your words of encouragement and compliments to me and Rick were much appreciated.

I am looking forward to sharing my car with you all at events like Homecoming or Shades of the Past. Until then, thanks for your warm welcome to this family.

I must say, you really have me thinking............it sure would be nice to have a true street Cobra like that. You're making me jealous, and I'm not the jealous type.

It is a sweet ride! If I can't keep my wife out of my 427 I might be able to talk her into a 289 FIA. She likes the rollbar and sidepipes.
She keeps asking when she can take it out. I tell her when I git all the bugs out of it and won't leave her stranded. ;);)
Cruisin' together is alot of fun. And we can talk to each other.
Juan your SPF must have been loud.

Clay or we can build you a 289 and I buy your 427.:D

Jaun,
What a beautiful, unique, Unique! Don't know that I've seen a steet model 289. Are you going to put the eblems on the nose, trunk lid and fenders?

Clay:

I had a 427SC Superformance and I loved it but there is something very classy and understated about this 289 that only can be described, as jeepsnake says, a black tie Cobra.

You would look good with one of these.

Walter I started to put the emblems on and only got the two side emblems. I have to think about the nose and trunk.

Here is the car finally in the garage. This car does not have a bad angle. I will have to sleep in the garage tonight.

Juan, nice, very nice. Some day I would like to tear mine down and do a restoration... when I do, I am considering full street trim. Simple lines, un-cluttered..... beautiful

[8D] Soooo Cooool. It has an "un-mean and beautiful" look if there is such a thing for a Cobra. Clean and smooth...not even a hood scoop. I keep thinking it must have power steering and vac boost brakes.

How did it sleep last night, Juan.

Hi Dan:

I have been riding with such a high for the past few days since I got the car I forget what sleep is.

The car is just awesome.

Juan,

You just received the ultimate complement on your car.... my wife walked in as I was looking at this topic and said Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [:O], that's a beautiful car!!!! Believe me... she is picky.

Hi Phil:

Please thank your wife for me for the compliment. The car is just awesome, I have only driven it one time, for a brief time, since bringing the car home, it has been raining here for the past few days. Come on sunshine.

Juan

Juan--we all knew it was going to be nice--but man--You and Rick have raised the bar.Come on homecoming, now this we gotta see. Congrats. buddy.Will-Joan-Zach-Cyrus-Jana--Alabama

WOW!!! Juan, every set of photos you post shows off an angle we haven't seen yet, and every angle seems to look even better somehow! Go ahead & laugh, but I'm very interested in the exhaust system. The photo made from down low in the garage shows the pipes well - they look wonderful by themselves! Stainless tube throughout?

Truly, truly, an outstanding car - no, a work of art - by you & Rick.[^] Find a fine men's store and purchase yourself a proper tweed jacket, wool touring cap, and fine leather gloves for driving this beauty - she deserves nothing less! :D

Hi Zach:

Thanks for the compliments, we truly love this car.

The exhaust system was silver ceramic coated throughout. One more thing to shine.
