My thoughts exactly

Frfrfrfr

They look like they're 12, so not surprising

I love Cobras but jezz these arse clowns made this hard to watch. I couldn't get through the whole thing and the car is beautiful.

Lol exactly

You beat me to it! A kit to make it wider? Pulease , these bozos are too clueless to even get online to learn the true history of the original "slabside" Cobra and the later development into the 427 machine!

Totally, there is just something not right about this "genuine" Cobra. If it was an original it has been over restored, but I doubt it.

Dr. Bananable Lector 😂literally what i was looking like wtf was the design thinking

@@sacharedding-hoet323 its called the OLIVIA O found it on marine traffic :D

Lots of AC Cobras. AC manufactured all Cobras and was the European distributor. Cars that went to Shelby in the USA were called Shelby Cobras; cars that were fully built and sold in Europe - roughly 9% of Cobra production - were AC Cobras.

@@nedscudder8850 cars sold in Europe and the UK were not called Cobras. People might refer to them as that, but they were always actually called an AC 289 Supersports or something else. And the MSO on Shelby cars would disagree that AC manufactures all Cobras. A bodied chassis is not a car, they became cars when Shelby completed them in LA.

@@TresLinguas Sorry, but you're incorrect. The leaf-spring cars were indeed called AC Cobras, even by the manufacturer, AC Cars, and they carried Cobra badges on the nose. Look at period magazines from England. When the coil-spring cars arrived, they called them the AC 289 Sports, just to differentiate them from the leaf-spring AC Cobras. I still have brochures as well as an AC 289 Sports in the garage.

@@nedscudder8850 I’m familiar with who you are and your car. You’re a fortunate man. The story I’m most familiar with is that, as animosity between Shelby and Hurlock grew, Shelby eventually told Hurlock to stop using Cobra badges on their cars. You’re right either way though about leaf sprung AC cars though, I just caught a reference by Shelby himself alluding to the same thing. I read Angliss’ statement of Shelby being the official manufacturer of record too broadly and swept in the COX/COB cars with it.

@@nedscudder8850 I’ll return the favor now in an area that’s in my wheelhouse. AC did not manufacture the Shelby Cobra with the exception of the few that they finished themselves, at least not by American standards. I’ve worked in the automotive industry for decades including at the prototype stage and, in the US, a body and chassis with no driveline is not legally a car, it’s a component. That’s the primary reason why replica manufacturers weren’t generally able to build and sell cars more complete than a rolling chassis until very recently. If the cars were more complete than that they would be forced to comply with myriad standards of every kind in order to be road legal including some people wouldn’t think of like importation regulations regarding assembled cars, etc. The original Cobra was made in simpler times which would have meant that on road legality wouldn’t really have been an issue, but they still wouldn’t have been considered a car without a driveline.

Super cringe with these guy‘s. Anyway, beautiful car

pretty sure this is a replica of CSX2484 that has been making the rounds in Europe, but the original CSX2484 is alive and well in the U.S.

Yup it’s a replica Still sweet. BTW the steering wheel isn’t correct either. Lol

Was wondering, the 427 has the cranked forward gearstick right ?, stunning car but video could have been so much better, showing engine, carbs etc.

It’s cool but the cobra is WAY cooler 🐍

It's a Vandehall- Vanderhall Motor Works is an American vehicle manufacturer based in Provo, Utah. It manufactures hand-made three-wheeled autocycles designed for sports driving, touring, commuting and city driving. By the way, they are great.

@@BobH809 thanks bro👍

who cares

yep, rebuild your gearbox in a couple of months

Yep, pet hate of mine, also holding the wheel at two o-clock with his left hand too, like a gangsta, very poor form, no way to drive a vintage Cobra.

probably because it doesn't have one ;-)

Its cos it used an english chasis

@@LogieT2K And body from the AC Ace, later further developed by Shelby and Ford into what we see here, the 427 SC.

@@stewartw.9151 exactly, AC had the Aceca and the beautiful AC ACE so the cobra is just beautiful to look at. Then the great shelby stuck a proper engine in it. Just like the lLola became the GT40

They could not talk about it 'cos they do not know about it!

Frank Brenner except it's not
