Which one? There were three Cobras today at our Cars and Coffee. The orange one has not been seen previously at our event. It was a Factory Five kit, recently completed. The silver one is a regular attendee, also a Factory Five kit. Then the blue Daytona Coupe is one of two considered to be the most accurate copies of the original coupes. The owner owns several unique vehicles, including a street-legal T-1 Lola which he drives on the street while wearing a helmet, and two Ultima GT kit cars which he and his son built.
The 1965 Cobra Daytona is a Reproduction of one of the six original Daytona Coupes. The original from which it was copied was actually owned by Carroll Shelby when it was sold at the RM Auction in August of 2000 in Monterey. I had the opportunity to be there when it was sold, and I now consider it an opportunity to own a reproduction of that great car. Another coupe recently changed hands at the Mecum Auction in Monterey in August of 2009. It went for over $7.2 Million! I was in Monterey, but out at Laguna Seca at The Historics when it was sold. Although the car is a "fake", (don't make me PUKE!) I doubt we will see an original show up for Cars & Coffee. Personally, I think someone would be crazy to drive a $7 million car out of a museum onto our streets full of uninsured illegal-aliens! Please enjoy the car for what it is: A tribute to a great car and to the great drivers who beat the phenomenal Ferrari 250 GTO to win the championship. David
If you are only interested in 100% originals, that would be the C&C in southern California. We are a little more laid back.
Oh know, I completely understand. In fact a very nice gentleman who own's the Finishing touch body shop residing in Fountain hills AZ has painted 4 of the original 6 Daytona Coupes as well as the Super Snake Cobra and the Gulf Livery GT40 (not to mention a Zonda, 2 or 3 250 GTO's and many many Ferrari Halo cars). I mean no disrespect by calling it fake since there is many reproduction and kit car Cobra's here in Omaha.
Overcast today and a hint of misting rain in the air but the cars still came along and brought their owners. I noticed two interesting motor lineage today: 1. The Ford designed V-4 in the Sonnet 2. A Cobra V8 in a Datsun-Z and 3. The very red Pantera was badged as "Powered by Ford." I will now let the photos speak.

Thats me! http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/attachments/northwest/1742916d1374347453-portland-cars-coffee-dsc03938-800x619-.jpg Hopefully I will start coming more regularly with my Lotus until I upgrade to a 360/430 or Gallardo in the next few years.
I am not the expert on Panteras. Wikipedia suggests there were both Ws & Cs and even the 5.0 on cars not bound for the US market. De Tomaso Pantera - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The actual production could have been quite different and what has gone on with the cars since is even harder to document. This one had an amazing rumble as it drove up!
All Panteras are powered by Ford but the exact engine I am not up on since I am not a Ford guy. I think they were all 351s.
They were all 351's however the early Panteras (basically the first year only) Were ford 351's which im assuming was the windsor since the 351M wasn't produced till after 74. By the time the Pantera came to the US in 72 they had the 4 bolt main Cleveland Engine 351 (Ford Company based in Cleveland).
She is back! The statements of her demise were greatly in error! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

Yes the rumors of Pandora's winter project modifications have been slightly exaggerated. Contrary to popular belief she did not join and illegal street racing league, nor was she car jacked at gun point and found striped in a shipping container, and she hasn't spent the last several months at Rockstar Games being scanned and measured for the next Grand Theft Auto release, and by all means she was not shipped to Europe for the latest filming of Drift King of Europe 2013... but we are entertaining other ideas.
Delaney told me that she had worked a deal to buy Pandora as her first car, as she would be finally reassembled by 2023.
They will be paving/spraying the parking lot on Friday and Saturday. The main lot we use will be done on Friday, and the hotel side will be done on Saturday. The hotel entrance will be closed and it has been recommended we use the cul de sac entrance to the north were the water fall is located. Also there will probably be gravel on Sequoia Parkway from the trucks.
Yep, back for the summer tour. Feels good to get her out again. Even if the maiden voyage ended in a tow.
Wait! Did you install a Lucas component on her? So are you going to drive her to C&C tomorrow, or have her towed back and forth? I'll save you a spot...
