Jeff, I was speaking of the big block cobras, the bodies and frames on the 289 cars were different.

Oh...then since the SC/Cobra's did come with 428's, it should be a simple swap for that bad a** 428 & 4-speed of yours to fit into a Cobra! Man, that would be scary fast!

Jeff Colvert, you need to go ahead and get one of those bodies and chassis on order. All you would need is about 200k to have another really nice Cobra.

Jeff in the shelby registry there are at least 2 documented BB 428 FE dual quad automatic Cobras, also back then it would have been easy enough to get a "letter" from Shelby verifying it.

Any chance to find an english version of this?

Is it called a Roadster from Honda? My Classic car friends always point out the roadsters on the November road trip as the guys wearing jackets, gloves (the newest car we've used is a '34 and no heater available) and heavy clothes just like us plus wearing hoods and stocking hats since they have no side windows.

Today they might call all two seat convertibles roadsters. Didn't the early Vipers have snap on windows? Bizarrely my friends wife had a Dodge Magnum wagon and it came titled as a truck to avoid epa "car" stuff.

I used Google Toolbar to translate that page and it does not say "Roadster" anywhere on that page. It may somewhere, but not on that page.

more S/SS ink from the non traditional drag race media is always good for us
