The most badass way to travel from gas station to gas station.
😂
Pass up all but a gas station, lol! All about the smiles not miles lol
To be fair, when you drive a car like that you don’t worry about money. Sometimes it’s just nice to cruise the coast.
Así pensaría un pobre😅
You sound like someone who would rather travel from charging station to charging station 😂
15 min later: a hardtop cobra arriving at ⛽
😂😂😂😂
They run out of gas that quick?
@@cosgroveme2489its not slow.
(Unless the engine has been remodeled)
@@cosgroveme2489 it literally uses a 7 liter ford gt40 racing engine
of course they run out that fast
Doesn't it seem like bottom of the barrel of humor for vintage cars? That's like telling a skater to do a kickflip.
That starter motor was fighting for its life. 7L V8 needs a 4L starter motor 😂
Although the poster of the vid is actually wrong as that particular car is running a 350 (5.7) Chevy small block 👍
@@gimble447you sure? People do motor swaps you know
@@spencerkleiman5035 oh I’m sure bud, don’t you worry about that, it’s a DAX Tojeiro kit car built in 2004 and it’s running a 5.7/350 chevy, motor swaps? It was built that way and is still registered as a 5.7 to this very day 😂 no1 n the UK ( where this car is) is bothering with old ford big blocks in cobra kit cars, just trust me on that 👍
The ignition sounds reminded me grandpa trying to hold his laughs during dinner.
Lmfao
It needs a High torque starter as the engine has too much static com for the one it has.
When the family dogs is under the table, licking his yam bag? ❤️
🏆@@Terrestrial..1
That means: high compression
SHARP LOOKING COBRA
Marvelous* Sharp is an understatement.
Indeed!
I was taken aback by how beautiful this thing is.
It is nice but why is it two different colors
not even close to matching 😂
Hard top makes it look like something you'd see an old time gangster driving
Ikr!! Never gonna catch me coppas!😂
Sounds kinda like it didn't want to go
Or 007
@christinaeckley7146 very high compression motor is hard on a battery
And, to blow rt by you = *Criminal*
I love hearing a starter struggling against the compression, you know you are about to awaken a beast.
Timeless. One of the most beautiful cars of all time.
That is the coolest looking Cobra I have seen
100% agree
Hell yeah! That thing baaaad!
Damn straight
Not seeing the front I did not recognize it. Hard to believe it’s the same car. Looks like a Euro custom. Italian or French.
Absolutely awesome
One of the best looking cars in history, I didn't even know there was a hard top version.
Same here. Is this original or some sort of kit
Don't think the originals were ever made with one, that's probably a custom fab job since it doesn't look like a removable top
Rule of thumb: 99% of the cobras you see are kit cars
They're all kit cars, so there's a million variations.
This is an insanely ugly home build
That is one of the most gorgeous cars I have ever seen. Looks absolutely stunning in a hardtop
That starter has more torque than most modern engines.😂
I love this feel when you never know thout your engine start ;)
Yeah I guess so that thing was struggling.
The timing is advanced too far thats why its struggling @Micscience
@@user-ip3to4bq1xOh I see for performance reasons I'm assuming. I am not a performance guy I just do basic bolt ons. Thanks for sharing I might use that one day and sound smart.
@@user-ip3to4bq1xif you explain to me what this means I’ll be grateful. If not I’ll be google I suppose
The compression in that engine you hear when it starts just makes me want it even more!
12:1 compression 😂😂😂
So! Those it have an diesel engine
It's the timing causing that
Too much timing advance, its detonating while cranking. Dude needs cranking retard module.
Или дохлый стартер или мертвый акб😂
Absolutely blown away .. what a stunner of a car .. 🥹
Always loved the Cobra. Never seen a hardtop version. Up there as one of the most gorgeous cars ever! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
That’s not a car, that’s a work of art. 😍
Fact. Whoever did the work on that car. put a lot of passion behind it and it shows.
"Work of art" for trailer trash 😂😂😂.
@@jturino2531
Obviously this car isn’t for you.
But I really like it.
Because its a muscle car? Or what makes it unsimilar to art? @@jturino2531
Amen, it is man art! I get the same wood when I look at a B2. 😎
that's about the best-shaped car you can have
100% but in terms of technology there are hundreds doing better
А как же тойота королла?
@PowerrangerBro keep the shell upgrade everything else inside outside and underneath 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My favourite shape is the 67 corvette or whatever year it was, but this is fkn awesome (I said shape).
@user-mm6kj5ev5m 😂😂yes, the Toyota corolla is the ultimate buy, but we're talking about things we can afford here.
Masterpiece
That’s a Beast ❤
Never seen a hardtop Cobra that wasn't a Daytona. This is 🔥
Same it really has a whole different look. Especially from the rear! 😮
Kit car I assume from factory five. Not bashing on it, it's gorgeous, just saying why most people haven't seen one.
@@MrNater41 actually it’s a DAX tojeiro kit with DAX’s “le mans” roof option ( that’s what DAX call their roof) 👍
TURNAUIFF DA. KOR. SCHOUWE. MUSAIK!.
Man that car was way ahead of its time, still looks better than 95% of cars ever produced lol
Fr fr. By a mile too
It's likely a replica
1000x better than anything 'we' design nowadays. We've gone backwards since the 50s and 60s on so many levels
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 NO LIES HERE....
Its not real lmao
Absolutely stunning. One of my dream cars
It will prolly stay a dream, it’s not because u don’t have enough money, it’s that there aren’t any left 😂😂
The most beautiful cobra ever made
What an absolutely beautiful Shelby Cobra.
Other than the fact that the paint on the body panels isn't even close to matching.
@@Christoph-sd3zime when I don’t know what old fashioned two tone is
Okay, That is probably *the* most beautiful Cobra I have ever seen... OMG! 😮😍
This car is absolutely stunning The stance everything.
F-ing beautiful
This probably one of the best looking cars on the whole planet
They made a 65 cheetah to compete with the Corvettes, check one out . Pretty cool looking
imo the hard top ruins the body shape
@@thedandy6765 nah, it completes it
No.lamborghini miura #1
Agreed. I prefer this to the convertible 100%
In saying that, the convertibles are badass, but having seen a hardtop version a few years back, I’m in love.
I put this car in the category of one of the most beautiful designs ever made
British design but with a bit of the American muscle car flare. Beautiful.
I agree.
And the back still inspiring manufacturers.
@@morbideddieThe otter way around... more an American muscle car with British design.
Absolutely. I have a real 427 one and a hi grade kit car. I'd trade both for that
💯 % Facts
You hear that starter reaching Max torque 🤘
Chuck Berry in the background makes it that much sweeter!
Not a car guy, but even a person like me can appreciate a thing of beauty.
English car 🏴😊
@@jackworsley2562how is that an English car
Awesome cobra 🙌👍😍
This is an american car 😂

Wow! A hardtop Cobra is something I never would have imagined that I would see. What a beautiful car.
Plenty of them raced in GT Class.
No kidding
I don’t remember the coupes looking like this. The ones I remember had a Kamback or flat rear end that helped with aerodynamics and downforce.
@@Bobbyo60you talking about the Shelby Daytona coupe?
They’re Daytona gt not cobras and that’s a kit I think so Pennie’s in the dollar.
This car looks just amazing.
The future needs to look like this.
Why can’t they make cars that look this cool anymore??
They enjoy making electric cars that almost nobody wants.
@@darkspark5770I'm not understanding you everywhere I look someone's driving a tesla
aerodynamics
Aerodynamics, crash protection, protecting pedestrians if they're hit by it etc etc
Looks more aerodynamic than some "boats" out there haha, and they could modernize the on board system with sensors and what not to make up for the areas needed, then use safer/lightweight polymers or whatever for the body panels/frame. Doesn't seem like a big engineering or cost feat but idk
Im not a car guy but this might be the most beautiful vehicle I've seen in my life.
It really is. And the video didn't even show the beautiful hood. Do yourself a favor and google Shelby Cobra to get a better view.
I'm thinking the same thing.
I am thinking the same thing. Hence: This is the most beautyfull car that you have ever seen.
Nice lines, awful paint!
one of the most beautiful ever made.
looks so much better actually
Carrol Shelby would be proud of that ❤❤❤❤❤
Never seen a hardtop before. Looks really good.
The hardtop looks absolutely gorgeous
I really nvr liked the roadster, but hard top looks too good
@@Davidhillborn reminds me of an old skool cartoon villains car😂, mean as f
If you had held your phone horizontally, we would have seen more of this beatiful car.
Duuuuude!😂 it was about 1/12 of my phone screen.
DOH!!!
He had all focus on driver, not once to show front end, what a clown
Yeah
I bet he holds it horizontally when filming skyscrapers.
I like the big GOOD YEAR lettering on the tires 😁
When it struggles to start u know that sh** is fast 😂 🔥
Gorgeous
My sentiments exactly❤
@@Phil-tl8vp Mine, too! 👍
Absolutely is...the white wall tires are like the cherry on top ..Absolutely gorgeous I wish they enjoy it and keep it clean!
Gave me a woody when it started up.

People at the gas station: 'Just give him 15mins... he will be back'
Says the beta liberal
@@jakeryan2184lol what??? He’s insinuating that thing gulps gas.
@@rdpillsforall6884yeah, we get that. But he doesn't drive it for fuel mileage
@@minter_fab_mafia you guys are totally overthinking it.
Faster than a speeding, well anything!
The hardtop is gorgeous 😍
Right hand drive! A proper vehicle
That starter isn't dragging... it's fighting for its life against compression the likes its never faced before.
And he's filling up with pump gas? Pretty soon he's about to blow a head gasket or knock a hole through a piston or suck the valves through the seats from the insane amount of detonation and spark knock from running 93 or less octane fuel, an engine with enough compression to make the starter load up like that needs at least 100 octane fuel to run for any prolonged period, especially under load. Someone needs to tell him he should be running avgas or racing fuel if he doesn't want to trash his super expensive engine
@@TactaGhoul to be fair that station has a triple hose setup, they could have high octane. I've seen it at a few locations where one pump was 84/5, 87/9, 93/4 on one hose, 97 on the second, and jp/av on the third.but they were also near a raceway park.
@@BrookNBones😂😂😂 80what oktane, in Germany we have 95 up Oktane. That's bad. But the price is nice.
@@einervonvielen8869EU 95 = US 91, and EU 98 = US 93
But yea, we still have 87 which is considered "regular". Newer US GTIs are designed to run on US 87 octane, so now I'm wondering why. Are they tuned differently in Germany where the equivalent octane doesn't exist?
@@rjmarithat's interesting, I didn't know octanes were regional. In New Zealand we have 91, 95, and some stations also have 98. Would these be equivalent to the EU?
Engine was like “dude you sure you wanna start me…? You’re not prepared for what I have….”
He was edging it
😑
It's got a racing cam. Low RPMs is not in it's comfort zone.
It was actually the first two credit cards declining, then the third was accepted and then she’s off and running.
😂😂😂
This is my dream car
I didn’t know I needed a Cobra like this until, now…
Two of the greatest sounds of ALL TIME - Chuck Berry and a V8
Nice one ..
Front engine to be exact😊

This comment is exactly why I came digging in the comment section. This is what made America great back in the day. The fact that they used to let civilians be civilians. Rock n Roll was being made by Chuck Berry, around the time the hot rods nation that birthed the muscle car generation we learned to love and hate was just around the corner. Man I bet it must’ve been amazing growing up a privileged white Christian male in middle America. Mind the last thing I said, everything else though, is spot on.
Probably the best looking cobra I’ve ever seen ☝️
The paint job is awful, the door is completely an other color
@@ommachining154 blame it on the assembly, the color differemce is from the door not lining up with the body. It isn't even visible under shop lights or sunlight. Only at sunset do you see this unfortnunately
@@ommachining154 its a panel alignment issue im pretty sure. Common on custom jobs like this.
@@Kreege and teslas apparently :-)
Imagine peaking through your blinders and seeing this
One badass Cobra 🐍. Kudos!
Gotta be one of the most beautiful cars I've ever laid eyes upon....
Agreed. True work of art
@@brandonhubley7467really, even with that paint?
@@aspman97I was just gonna say: that paint job is shyte. The door is a completely different shade from the panel next to it

Better than your mama?
You notice the door is a shade darker than the rest of the car? Maybe just the lighting.

This is the only hardtop cobra ive seen that doesnt look like trash
Gorgeous.. if only cars stayed looking that way.. from the back it looks amazing,, never seen a Cobra with a top
Whoever did this car is very tasteful. The way he cut it up and changed the shape is amazing. Subtle enough to recognize it as a cobra but shaved and cut to where it looks like a new version or a new release of the original
It's a kit car. Not a cobra.

Takes a serious starter and a helluva battery to crank a V8 with 13+ to 1 compression............a beast of a machine coming to life
Cobras are so cute and adorable. My dad, Robert “Tweety” Aldredge, was Carroll Shelby’s main paint & body guy for many years. My dad is my hero

One of the few times where a hardtop beats a convertible
It hardtop almost allways beats convertibles
Convertibles look like shit
@@inksankebabpizzeriayt4551Truly. With aero being so relevant, hardtops are just the more convenient option. Plus, they look better.
The aero is obvi more functional but, for some cars (eg: S2000, Z4,) its looks are definitely more subjective, imo the Cobra as well... @@ossimlz
That looks waaaaaaay nicer. If the previous one looks amazing this one is for the boss
British Car , American Engine = Perfection
I am a chevy guy for life, that being said. You will NEVER find a car that sounds better than a Cobra with a side piped 427 bbf.
Sounds like an old ass pickup truck 😂
Man they may want to back that timing off a tad
Is that why it sounded like it didn't want to turn over?
@@timothyengland3 yes
@@timothyengland3 most high compression engines start this way.
@@jhawk1985yes I've seen plenty of high compression engines over the years, I always thought it was the compression, starter, battery condition,,, but the timing comment was what got my attention
@@timothyengland3 It may very well be timing. Who knows ? Its prolly a combination of all. Semi weak battery, high comp, timing off. The farther the timing is advanced the harder the start

Love the Cobra! One of the best looking cars ever built.
coolest Cobra ever
" DEFINITELY "!
Respectfully, Seth
What a beautiful thing from the past, love that Shelby cobra
It's a modern replica.
@@1972Rayof a body style AC never built as a Cobra.
Just for everyone guessing kit model,engine fitted etc, This is a DAX Tojeiro, it’s roof is either a 1 off creation by the owner or the rare/seldom optioned DAX “Le Man’s” style roof ( I think it’s the latter but I can’t confirm) it runs 350cu/5.7 small block Chevy ( pity it’s not a big block Ford but you can’t have everything) it was built/registered/completed in 2004
Source link?
I would love to know why the owner chose to go SBC over a ford engine. I have my own hunch (simply the owner/builder have more experience with SBC's and it wasn't going for authenticity anyways). But it would be cool to hear from the owner themselves.
Also I'm loving that hardtop variation. It's like the Corba Le Mans hardtop blended with the Cobra Daytona roofline. Only thing that would make it better was if the hardtop& rear deck lid were blended and opened together like a hatch.
@@asymsolutions I dunno if you are in Britain or the USA bud, but here in Britain ( where the car is) I can find out that info just by searching the registration number in the DVLA ( driver vehicle licence agency) website. SBCs are easier to source and cheaper to tune than old big block fords on the whole outside of the USA ( and also the big lower weight difference enhances handling)
👍 so that’s my sources and the reason it’s not got an expensive boat anchor engine over here and I’m sure the owner will be just as fine not talking to you about your nonsensical illinformed hunch 😂
How much is this car worth
@@russnunn2456 The lowest recorded sale price was $660,000 for a 1965 Shelby 427 Cobra Roadster on Jan 14 2023. The average price of a Shelby Cobra 427 is $2.2 million… if it were an original. Fewer than 100 of those estimated to remain. In 2021, the prototype 1964 Cobra 289 “CSX2000” sold for $13.75 million. More common small-block Cobras tend to sell in the $2 million range today. The 427 engine commands higher prices, generally speaking. This being a one-off custom (as far as I know) AC Cobra, was still probably several hundred thousand dollars to own and build. 😅
@@valentine--vincent4590 but this isn’t a cobra, it’s a fibreglass kit car/replica ffs the only thing truly “custom” on it is possibly the roof ( it’s either custom or a DAX “le mans” roof but I can’t confirm which 100% but I think it’s the DAX roof) The rest is a complete fully supplied kit by one of the most respected kit manufacturers in the world, AND YET you wrote all that under a comment that told you exactly what it is!!!!ffs, are you all there in the head bud? 🤦♂️ 😂!!! Ok here’s how it really is, in general like everything it’s worth what someone wants to pay but roughly a nicely professional built and SBC engined car like this ( less roof ) goes for 40-60k in the UK ( where the car is) this one might achieve more if someone really fell in love with it obviously, but it’s a very subjective thing with no correct answer, however if you were to build one yourself in the UK , depending on specs obviously, it could be anywhere from 20k ( 2nd hand components and most likely a 4 cylinder engine (yuck) up-to getting to the stage when you run out of money, lose yer house and the wife and kids leave 😂 😂 😂 So in short and wildly simplified, $50k - $75k less roof in the UK where actually DAX Cars originate from and they were incidentally the first company in the world, (before the hundreds of firms worldwide followed later) to make Cobra Kits ( DAX cars first cobra kit launched 1968) lastly I’ll point out that on the whole, building one would be a bit cheaper in the US (especially when considering the engine and many of the cobra replica specific parts cost price and add to that simply brilliant off the shelf availability over there for example) but in no way ANYWHERE in the world is this particular car worth “several” hundred thousand dollars, whether you are talking cost to build or cost to buy, that’s just a ridiculous comment and shows you have nothing but a complete lack of knowledge on the subject 😂
I'm a CHEVY guy, but even we appreciate the beauty of the COBRA. We figure if we are going to lose to something, at least let it look magnificent.
Ignition sounds like me laughing at comments 😂
That roof was done really well. I already loved cobras but think that roof actually made it look even better, and it can be driven more often.
That thing is pure BEAUTY!!!!! The color is pure perfection....just wow
Any cobra, kit or original is the best looking car ever produced, dream car

You see it now right? ^^
Even back in the days, the chances to see it in person, in everyday life, were slim to none. If you see it now, it's thanks to the internet. Back in the days, you wouldn't even know that it exists, except if you're a true petrolhead, who goes to events and read magazine. Every day cars were still nicer than what we have today.

Amazing piece of Americana and automotive history
You will find it's a British car made by AC Cars with the original car fitted with a Ford V8, the American influence & contribution by Caroll Shelby 🙂 A great collaboration !!
TOTALLY STUNNING! They don’t make cars like that anymore,sadly 🤦🏼♂️🥰
That's because the rat bastards that run the world have about used up all the planet's oil and have decided that we will all soon be driving electric cars once the cost of removing oil is more than the profit and is no longer worth drilling for. I just LOVE how they make all these decisions for us lol. California, by like 2030 or 2035 will MANDATE that car dealerships are only allowed to sell electric vehicles. It's coming whether we want it or not. I wonder what kind of consequences all these old dead batteries from new electric cars will have on our planet??
