Year | Spec | Author | Fan Tributes to the AC Cobra. |
---|---|---|---|
1967 | 427 | Andrew Burnell says... | The noise of the engine and the reason that britain got a speed limit. |
1962 | 427 | Brian Ashton says... | The cobra can still hold it's own even with the new boy's even the line's and curve's never seem to out date, it's just iconic. |
1963 | 289 | Geoff Law says... | The best of british style at the time together with the best of Ford US engine technology at the time. |
1967 | 429 | David Allison-Calvert says... | The best muscle car ever. Just brute force and adrenalin. QED. |
1962 | FORD V8 PETROL | GRAHAM SHIPMAN says... | The 70MPH speed limit was introduced after the AC Cobra raced at nearly 200 MPH on the brand new M1. There are too numerous other plaudits to mention here, eg The 1965 Sports Car Championship. |
1960 | 429 CI | JEFFREY K PIERCE says... | Such a beautiful but aggressive shape and very powerful it's not nicknamed the widowmaker or nothing! |
1960 | 427 COBRA JET | Paul Dickinson says... | Simply the car is just awesome. |
1970 | - | Brett Parker says... | Simply the best car ever made. |
1967 | 427 V8 7LTR | STUART COX says... | Sheer looks and power, horses and beauty, legendary and iconic, god created beauty from mans ribs, man created beauty from steel. If you placed a Cobra between 10 other cars, covered the badges of all the vehicles, and asked people to guess the car, everyone would get the Cobra right. All other cars are toys, you take them out the box, play with it for a while then play with the box. Cobra's box is thrown away, you take it out, it tells everyone you're there, it purrs and growls, takes air in and and spits it out. Adoration. It's smoother than Jordan, and sexier than Kylie. |
1964 | 427SC | Gregg Earland says... | Self explanatory! |
1965 | 427ci/7000cc V8 | John Martin says... | Reason1: This car ws the reason we have a 70mph speed limit. Reason 2: Its just stunning to look at from every angle. |
1960 | the big bad 427 | Damon PICTON says... | No ABS, No power steering, just go and stop. Its a mans car that requires a driver. |
1960 | V8 | Michael Fowen says... | Mans muscle cars, awesome sound, beautiful looks. |
1950 | - | steve sinclair says... | Looks really cool and has a fabulous 'grunt' from the engine. |
1950 | 5.7 V8 | paul Williams says... | Looks great, drives like nothing else on the road, a bit edgy round corners but in a line nothing gets close to a real drivers drive. hang on tight and hoe for the best. |
1964 | 427/428 | ross kennedy says... | Just look at it!!! Over 400 bhp as standard and capable of handling more. and all this in the sixties. |
1965 | V8 | Mike Vine says... | Its the real mans sports car. A car that when stearing one can feel the road, fight the road and get a real adrenalin rush, the energy from which can be released in the work required to control this beast. |
1966 | - | Darren Ravenscroft says... | It's the original bad boy, we have to thank it for our 70mph speed limit. |
1965 | - | David Lyall says... | It just looks and sounds right. What else can you say! |
1969 | - | Gordon Allan says... | It is sleek fast and a real head turner. |
1964 | 427 | Ian Elderbrant says... | It has got to be the best looking car of all time and o boy the sound from that 5.7L ford lump awesome. Plus the fact that a chicken farmer could kick Ferrari it the teeth is just fantastic ! |
