Thundering around the Cape in an AC Cobra – old school is still COOL!
A couple of days ago I was given a Cobra from Classic Wheels. Naturally I was excited as I hadn’t driven one before. Growing up the Cobra has always been an iconic symbol to me and I am sure all motoring enthusiasts alike.
The pin-up poster car has graced us worldwide since the 50’s with it’s instantly classic lines and typical American muscle car appeal.
It took some time to adjust to the old school instruments and driving style, but this was quickly was mastered and immediately I was hooked. So, as any petrol head with a convertible would do, I headed out to Cape Point to see what all this hype was about. This particular model is a Shamrock made here in South Africa. The business end sports a 5,7Lt Chevy V8 fitted with Edlebrock Headers and a flat pan filter. Noisy is what some would call this car…but not me; this is pure unadulterated classic American V8 sound. It’s addictive to the point that I never even turned the radio on and found myself leaning over the door: ears to the floor to grab an extra dose of the intoxicating exhaust note.
