Nice!
They really should be driven - not stored!

 

[Joe Walsh]

WOW.....4,700 mile TASCA Cobra!

That is cool.

:hmmm:.....Wondering why the engine compartment looks so rough for having been driven so little, then stored for almost 50 years!

Problem now is that it is worth so much more in original, unrestored, low mileage condition that the new owner would be a fool to drive it often....if at all.

I can't figure out why these guys buy incredibly expensive automotive 'statues'.

Buy a less valuable Cobra*, or build a replica....... and drive it like you stole it!

*Contradiction in terms!

I'm sorry, but unless Elvis recorded his first hit while sitting in it, there is no car on the planet that's worth that kind of money.

Yes, yes, I know... a thing is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it, but come on...that's just ludicrous.

Bob, Elvis had already lost his prime by 1962.

That's like buying the perfect woman of your dreams and cant lay a finger on her.

What are you talking about? Elvis was the KING right up until he got fat. I know because he told me so when I saw him in the Piggly Wiggly last week...

Really? Is that a fact?

:lol:

 

[Joe Walsh]

Huh.....I saw Elvis last night at the Maryland State Fair.

He was waddling around in a white sequined cape while eating fried pickles and fried Oreo cookies!
Later in the evening, I saw him drive away in a 2 million dollar Cobra with license plates that read: "TCB"
