The best five minutes car viewing of my life (and I aint seventeen) Have wanted one since watching The Gumball Rally. Loved the soundtrack then, the curves then and how it made me feel. Unfortunately, a nasty spill, at a short circuit put a stop to buying one ( You cant have a 427 with auto and hand controls eh ??? ) So Thank You Sir from the UK and may You and all those close by, enjoy Her for many, many special moments.

[@samspace81]

Appreciate you Bob, glad you are here with us sir.

[@terrybuchanan1]

of all the many numerous videos of cobras, this is the by far the best shot and directed ive ever seen

[@samspace81]

Wow thank you!

[@samspace81]

Appreciate you watching & Happy Holidays from Texas, USA

[@westfieldracer]

That's the way to film the car, idling walk round and sensible driving, superb.

[@samspace81]

Thank you very much. I take a lot of pride in what I do. I don't video for these tightwads anymore. I appreciate you watching Samspace81.

[@jeffuthoff8622]

Beautiful machine! The rims fit that car sooo nicely. Wow!!

[@samspace81]

Glad you enjoyed it! Enjoy the channel.

timeless beauty

Thanks so much for watching

[@damonkfist]

Masterpiece!

[@vel87x]

Your video was one that kept me coming back for that Backdraft/Cobra fix for a couple years. I'm coming up on one year of ownership with mine and couldn't be happier. Hoping to do a similar video with mine here in the future. Have to keep those dreamers drooling until the day comes they can get one of their own!

[@samspace81]

That makes me feel great! I put that marketing video together for a dealership, one of the last before I became a full time KZbinr. Appreciate you watching, nothing like a Cobra

[@davidhardin6649]

@Vel87x - BDR quotes "Starting at $46,900." If only drivetrain is left and not a laundry list of upgrades, is it possible to complete at or under $60k with, say, a 351W?

[@vel87x]

@@davidhardin6649 I would say you'd be close. Figure ~$4000-4500 for a tremec & decent clutch. That leaves you with ~$9000 for an engine. It all depends on how wild you want to go. A turn-key from Prestige is $11-12k.

[@vel87x]

@@davidhardin6649 Hopefully you put your order in, I saw the base price jump to $51,900 now.

[@LeonGT7]

I love this car!!!

[@samspace81]

Me too, was one of my favorite "Cobras" to work with. Backdraft is one helluva a car. Thanks for checking it out GTR! Enjoy the Samspace81 channel, I've videoed a few great Cobras now.

This video is tastefully done without the ripping the tires off. Nice job!

Thank you very much, I put extra effort into that one. Really appreciate you following the Samspace81 classic car channel - SAM (catching up on my comments )

Great job on the video!!! Loved the car and the Dr. Pepper nostalgia shot.

Thank you so much!

Why can I only like this video once?

Nice to see one actually being driven instead of just sitting parked in doors in a collection.

[@chrissmith8469]

It’s not a real cobra that’s why it’s not parked

Right? They never are unless roped off or behind glass

[@chrissmith8469]

@@samspace81 yeah

[@brentmiller7901]

This is one of the best Cobra videos I've ever watched due to the great camera angles and high res. Really gives a feel of the lines on the car and going down that road at that! Fantastic job samspace81. A+++!!

[@samspace81]

Really appreciate that! I use to do these videos to market cars, largely unappreciated but I've been doing entertainment now much more rewarding 🙌 ❤️

nice vid. Can we get a follow up vid of you putting this Cobra through its paces. Lets see what it can do!

Nah, I use to do marketing videos for classic car dealers. That's what this was

[@ilcommendatore4752]

Yeah!!!! Wrig its neck!!!!! Just how she loves it. ..... . Push it hard , it will just ask for more...... mechanicly speaking of course..... thank you for the video

[@samspace81]

My pleasure and yours too apparently

[@chrisaustin2754]

samspace81 Awesome Cobra! I'm looking at the different makers myself currently. I like Backdraft for the wider wheelbase and extra legroom, I'm 6'4", 230lbs. Why did you choose Backdraft over FF or some of the other makers? Thanks

[@GeorgeLista]

Chris Austin did you ever get an answer? I’m interested in the widest body out there.

[@samspace81]

I'm 6 foot 2 and fit fine. I don't know which is better than which, they've all been similar. The Texas Stallion one had the most room if you search my channel.

[@aly19971]

How difficult was it to install the heat shields on the exhaust. Mine doesn't have them, and I'm wondering if I can do the job myself

[@samspace81]

Don't know man, didn't build it

[@blthetube1]

I keep hearing how diamonds are a girls best friend..... I swear, any woman buys my this out of affection, I will love you....I mean, be eternally grateful for a very long time.

[@samspace81]

Yeah that'll never happen sorry LOL but thanks for watching the video.

Pedal to the metal baby !

Yessir

[@shawndavis5704]

How does that Iconic 427 perform? I’m about to get one one of these and looking at Iconic 427, Roush 427 and Keith Craft 427 which is 585HP for slightly less than Iconic.

[@samspace81]

Runs strong, I'd go with Roush

[@GeorgeLista]

samspace81 why?

[@samspace81]

Because I am a fan of Jack and his work, met him a few times over the years

[@GeorgeLista]

samspace81 ok fair enough, was hoping you’d have some comparative info/opinion between these choices. But thanks for replying anyhow. Happy Crimbo!

[@GlassTopRX7]

It's a small block 427 stroker?

[@samspace81]

Correct 427 stroker

[@surplussean3364]

Backdraft is the best replica

[@ardendorney2520]

Got one like it.......😁

[@samspace81]

Can't go wrong with a Backdraft

[@ronaldlafurno5221]

Factory Five is a kit car....not BACKDRAFT. It is hand built on an assembly line

Absolutely! My favorite Cobras along with Kirkhams, always a pleasure to work with. Thanks for following Samspace81, Ronald

[@samspace81]

Great Cobra

[@MrBendayho]

What does it cost please?

[@samspace81]

It is not for sale.

[@coryboy345]

Everything is for sale for the right price. :D

[@spectre8742]

There around 60k

[@Steve_Milo]

No, not everything is for sale at the right price. When you wish for a dream car at the age of 10 and spend the next 55 years of your life trying to acquire it, you are not going to sell it. Not for a million, or a hundred million. The gentlemen in this car are clearly in their 60's, they might be able to enjoy the car for another 15 or 20 years. Dreams are priceless for a reason, and those who obtain their dreams will part with them for nothing short of God Himself. Those who love money can never understand this. It is not for sale. Bill Gates could not buy this car off of them.

Absolutely PERFECT

[@dickjones6159]

thats a 427 small block not an FE. Its a very nice car but for my taste I dont care for the bling. the chrome pipes the windshield trim the mags all too brite I would have done the pipes in satin flat black and went with the Argent and black rims instead of the polished lips. just the roll bar and bumpers chrome and head light bezels

[@samspace81]

Yes sir, don't believe I called it an FE, will double check. Enjoy the channel!
