Default How????

I am coming home from getting the vette washed as final prep before Silver State. I am waiting to turn left and this guy passes in front of me and waves, I wave back. The damn thing hurts your eyes.



The only possible saving grace would be if it were white gold but I am fairly sure it is chrome. I took several shots and this is the best one. If you can't tell it is a Cobra. If it is a real Cobra with the aluminum skin polished to that level, wow. This road has miles of double yellow and he passed three cars on double yellow in one acceleration.

Could be a Kirkham or a Shelby continuation. These are aluminum-bodied replicas true to the original 427 Cobra in all aspects. Lots of owners keep them unapainted and polish them to a high finish.
