Default Re: King Cobra

Well here it is in model form. One hell of a bad assed car! Where is it today?????

(taken from another modeling web site): "All Hail the King!" Before rising to fame as the creative genius behind the Baldwin-Motion Chevrolets, Joel Rosen also knighted a couple of Shelby Cobras-a 289 and a 427, both of which held National records. When Carroll Shelby came out with the 427 Cobra, Rosen took it one step further and came up with the King Cobra. Right after building the King Cobra, Rosen drove 2 1/2 hours to the drag strip, changed plugs and slapped on a pair of slicks, and the King Cobra held court by cracking off a 10.27 ET, demolishing the previous record by a full two seconds! Few dared joust with the likes of the King Cobra"
