I was at college in the early sixties in Kingston. We made a visit to the original AC factory in Thames Ditton where they made the Cobra. Panels were hand beaten, and the rear leaf springs were coated in grease and wrapped in some kind of cloth. Cars were rolled around the workshop on temporary wheels. Amazing how their cars ended up so special.

I’m not a professional, but I was on the 405 freeway here several months ago, and I heard the roar of some beautiful piece of machinery, and I turned around to find out. It was exactly what I was thinking it was a 427 cobra roaring down the freeway, most fucking beautiful sound ever makes me cry

[@ronaldbrouhard1247]

Your "BOT" still has pronunciation issues.

[@Johnnycdrums]

"Guardsman Blue" was one of Fords best colors. I knew some early Mustangs came with it, but didn't know Cobra had the same option. The twin super charged 427 Cobra is not painted in "Guardsman Blue." The GT-40 prototype is painted in "Guardsman Blue", I think the commentator got them mixed up, quite sure of it actually.

That is not due to an English accent, but a bit of "bot-speak" mispronunciation!

I got to see and hear a SuperSnake in about 1968. A Old School Master of Aluminum fabrication who worked on exotic cars at his shop in Torrance,ca had one in for body work. As I my dad worked at McCulloch Corp, I was very family with the Paxton Supercharger. The engine idle was very lumpy and the whole tin building shook when he put it in gear. I was not thrilled about the C-6 Automatic in a Cobra. That power train did not make much sense back in the day. Slush boxes did not make for fun on the street in the 60’s. But it was a beautiful car, with a powerful motor that I would like to hear again.

[@Loulovesspeed]

@nrakma - Shelby used an automatic because he didn't feel that a standard shift could handle that amount of torque and horsepower at that time.

[@Johnnycdrums]

C6 can handle it.

[@Loulovesspeed]

@@Johnnycdrums - Yeah, in your dreams. I love it. You never have to wait long for the typical Geriatric Motors fan to make a ridiculous statement whenever a Ford powered car is on stage! Please admit that your just a Troll and not a real, ignorant Dilbert. C6? Hell, the C7 got its butt kicked by a Ford V6 powered car. LOL

I quote: ''The rare 1935 Duesenberg SSJ recently earned the title of most expensive American car to ever be sold at auction. It sold for an astounding $22,000,000 at the Gooding & Company auction during the 2018 Monterey Car Week, which is 60 percent more than the previous most expensive American car, the 1962 Shelby Cobra CSX 2000.''

I've said it before I'll say it again, I'm a GM Man dyed in the wool, but, there's one vehicle that would lead me astray, that would be the Ford GT-40. It would be a difficult choice to make for number 2, with all the beauty sitting on 4 wheels here at the auction, so I'll leave that decision for someone else, lol.

I think that Gary Cooper's 1935 Duesenberg SSJ should be included, as it was certainly "THE" muscle car of its era and at 400HP, the most powerful production car in the world...by far! Only 2 were ever built with Clark Gable having the use of the other one, but not owning it! In 2018, Gary Cooper's sold for a record price for any American car at auction - $22,000,000! By the way, its 420 cu. in. DOHC straight 8 engine was a hemi head!

[@BobbyTucker]

Does the car still exist? Just another curious mind...

[@Loulovesspeed]

@@BobbyTucker - Yes, both still exist.

[@rtalbot87]

GT40 is right hand drive !

[@Loulovesspeed]

@rtalbot87 - For a couple reasons, most all of the GT40s other than the MKIII road cars, were right hand drive. The car began construction in the UK which utilizes RHD. The reason they remained RHD later was it was more suitable for racing, particularly at Le Mans which had mostly right hand turns. The other reason was Le Mans used to have an open pit area with the left side of the cars exposed to the track, obviously a dangerous situation. RHD made it a bit safer in the pit areas.

Sorry, but the Cobra is not a muscle car, it’s a sports car. A muscle car is considered to be a production-based midsized car with a large v-8 shoehorned into it.

[@Johnnycdrums]

It can only be a muscle car if on a 116' wheelbase. Everything else fails the purity test.

[@geoffscott-coomber1408]

Looks like an ac most of which was made in England

[@Loulovesspeed]

Very perceptive of you! You apparently know little or nothing about the Shelby Cobra, one of the most iconic sports cars in history. Suggest you read up on it as it is a great story. It was started utilizing an AC Ace body and chassis with an American V8 transplanted into it. The power and torque of the small V8 - 4.7 liter and then the brutal 7 liter engine proved very destructive to the lightweight, comparatively fragile chassis, that previously contained a far less powerful six cylinder engine. This necessitated a completely new, substantially stronger one. Even the AC's original body was enlarged to accept the 427 cu. in V8. By then, there was really nothing more than the pedals that remained from AC Cars. A failing British company that had lost its engine manufacturer coupled with a bold, creative American with a specific goal in mind lead to the Shelby Cobra being produced. The rest is history as they say. It is the most copied car from an aftermarket standpoint in the world!

[@npco]

@@Loulovesspeed If it wassent for Carroll Shelby novbody vill remember the AC ACE from 1962 today

[@Loulovesspeed]

@@npco - Only the British probably, as it was a British car for 10 years prior to Carroll Shelby creating the Cobra out of it.

[@stevehodgson3436]

That prototype cobra was tested in the uk before going over to america it was tested on public roads namely the new M1 motorway and was clocked at around 165 mph and that very car is the reason we have the 70 mph speed limit in the uk on motorways

[@BubbaSmurft]

@@Loulovesspeed Methinks y'all need a history lesson lou... a muscle car is an intermediate with a big block. None of those are that. Most think that the GTO was the first, some the 300C.

[@Loulovesspeed]

@@BubbaSmurft - Yeah, well, if you think the term muscle car is purely defined as only intermediate car with big block engine....... you're not quite there! In any event, there is no exact or definitive definition of exactly what makes a muscle car. If it were only as easy as you suggest...But it's not! It has and will be debated forever. Example: 1949 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 is considered the first muscle car by some "authorities." The Pontiac GTO is also considered the first muscle car according to others. The South shall fall again!

@@BubbaSmurft Let's be clear, 116" wheelbase or it does not pass the purity test period.
