Love the funky looking bus - great cobra; would be interesting to see it under cooler morning light, in even shade. Still, nothing wrong with it... thanks for sharing. - Stu

I like the bus too, since I've never seen one like that before. Do you know if it's a real AC or a fiberglass replica?

I think the color scheme suits it perfectly.

I'm guessing it's the orginal vehicle - if you look at the rear bumper and that side door you can see a few bends and wharps.... typically something that "comes with age.":D

Thank you for your comments, the cobra is as far as I know the real one, left hand drive and made from aluminium/steel, the number plate tell's me it's a 1968 ( here in the UK).

Sounds like the real deal, which means it's worth big money. Was there a show in the area or does the owner simply believe in exercising it from time to time?

I dont know the owner he just parked it there and went sky diving at a air field near where we live, so I just got myself a 1D classic yesterday and was on my first outing with it, so took a pop shot or two.

A super set Tel i especially like the Cobra.Nice one;)

Good ones. I'd clone the truck in #1.

I wonder which is faster? The acceleration of the Cobra or the deceleration when the chute opens. Both should be a rush.

The rivits on the hood of the Cobra appear to be a trademark of the Factory 5 Roadster kit. The original Cobra does not have those. And the rivit on hood scoop is another give away. Original is blended in. The oil cooler is another Factory 5 give away. All their cars are equipped with a set up exactly like that. Besides, I cannot imagine someone with an original Cobra using a modern AN fitting/braded line set up and messing up the originality of such a valuable car.

I was preparing a response very similar to this one. Good call. Still a great looking car.

Definitely not a real cobra.
