When I saw the obit for Shelby it reminded me that the Cobra was and is for me the most desirable car I've ever seen, although the Lotus Elise almost pushed it back to second place and the wail of a Ferrari makes me weak in the knees.

I know this is a loyalist crowd but -- c'mon, now -- what is your ultimate automotive ownership fantasy? Only one choice. You ain't Jay Leno.

As long as my car wish list is, and this is no BS, my top dream cars were always a C4, a C3 and an old school 5.0 Mustang. I have the C4 and the 5.0. Dreams do come true.

I'm old enough to remember the Cobra/Corvette rivalry. 427 vs 427.
Wheel to wheel. Race by Race. Shelby was as much to credit as Zora for evolutionary improvements in our Corvette ancestors. He'd make an improvement, Zora would respond in kind. It was a healthy rivalry.

The automotive world has lost a legend. I for one, thank him for his contributions to our passion.

Mine was stolen in 86 and I miss it to this day.

I don't think I'd want an original cobra. I'd much rather have a factory five replica that I'm not afraid to drive. It's definitely in my top 5 though.

Other dream cars of mine include the porsche 959, Countach and Koenigsegg CCX.

I plan on building one with my son as soon as he is old enough.

I leave the dreaming to my subconscious and try to focus on attainable goals.

I still want my '69 Charger.

I got to ride in a 347ci FF replica, and it was probably the most fun I've had in a car. I think the guy said he put it together for ~45k too. Not bad for something like that.

'69 Mach 1 with the Shaker Hood.

RetiredSFC 97

70-71 Cuda

70 Chevelle SS 396 or 454

(I had 73 with a 454 but always wanted the 70)

I always wanted a 3rd generation Z28 as well. Not super fast but I really like the looks of them. I was actually looking at one before I bought my first vette.

I would love have a Cobra. Shelby was a legend,RIP.

Only one that haunts me is my old 67 rs they are just too much these days. A cobra would be a kick in the pants

I had one of those as well. 351 Cleveland, broke loose from it's motor mount the scoop was hitting the side of the hood.....powerful powerful motor.

The original Cobras while being great race cars were really lacking in polish and finish. Cool, but not something you would really like to drive.
Later versions built by Shelby American were much nicer.

Back to your original ?, I have always loved the '58 Vette. Nostalgic enough to turn heads, comfortable enough to drive.

'69 Firebird Trans Am. The closest I ever got to that one was a '69 Firebird Sprint, 250ci OHC 6 with 4-speed. My '70 Judge was fast but that '69 Firebird was cool...
