I would think it would be a real PITA if a sudden T-storm were to come up while out tooling around like that miles from any shelter.

I was talking to one of the guys and I guess there is a top like a bikini top you can get for them. The Cobras don't have roll up windows either so as far as a hard top I don't know if it would make that much sense. I think the cars are more fair weather toys as opposed to a Vette which can be that and a Daily driver. Also this is Southern Cal it doesn't rain that much and when it does it's a big thing with plenty of warning. In fact they are calling for rain today so I won't be taking the Vette out today. I have to work tonight and wont have time to clean her up before putting her to bed.

All of those were "kits". Very HIGH QUALITY kits though.
The only "real" Cobras you'll see are at the track in a vintage race or in someone's garage. "Real" Cobras are EXTREMLY rare and EXTREMELY valuable.
