Hey Guys,

I know this is a dreaded &*#@, but this ones pretty special and you hardly ever see an original one of these. This belongs to my other boss (some of you might remember one of my bosses horrible rat style commodore!) This is an original &*#@ cobra and was recently valued at somewhere around 800 grand!! :shock: The wheels are obviously not original but he has the mint original ones stored away. This car is completely original and unmodded. He doesn't drive this much as he has a couple of other euro cars he gets around in but check it out:

Good to see one of your bosses has an idea. That is bloody nice, although I'd prefer the original rims on it.

What's the go with the mini ramp? Just what ever workplace needs :twisted: :twisted: 8)

I agree, not what I would personally choose to buy, especially for that amount of coin, but nonetheless I'm alway impressed by muscle cars especially mint original ones!

I guess theres like 3 or 4 original ones left and this is one of them, or so I'm told. He paid alot for it. But he's no stranger to that, his other car, which he recently sold was an aston martin vanquish!! That thing was something else!

The Cobra Coupe was the finale of the big coupes, with unique white and big blue stripes was a limited run numbered (400) race model, (with about 35 as genuine race cars), the next best thing to a GT, with 4.9 litre 302 cu in V8 or opt. 5.8 litre 351 cu in V8 [as in the race cars], some were street cars too, stripped of race fittings, but lots of horsepower! Again, very popular today. The Cobra coupes were white with distinctive blue stripes, each car numbered.

This is apparently the very rare 351 option.

Damn Rat138, what a place to work for!!! I know Globe (wearing some shoes right now!!).

A few mates of mine and I would get on the piss and do the Globe challenge as we called it. For some reason you could get the gnarliest of slides going in a pair of Globes down a mildly sloping wet footpath. Plus they are good to skate in! I'm an old skater, probably more just old now though. Still have 2 complete decks and actually rode one for the first time this year in about 5 years!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Scary shit :shock: :lol: :lol: :roll:
