3/4-view shot above is hotlinked (same view, much larger size).

This roadway reptile was shipped along with twelve other Cobras in an enclosed trailer from Dallas, Texas to San Jose, California. We flew out to the Bay Area and drove them along the magnificent PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) with the Pacific Ocean on our starboard side all the way down to San Diego where we then shipped the cars back home. That exhilarating road cruise was feature-covered in several newspapers and two local magazine articles, one titled "The 800-mile Parade," with several photos of this red rocket gracing the pages.

We had a similar adventure in the Black Hills of South Dakota last year. In addition she's been deployed as a backdrop on several model shoots, including a recent shoot for bridal gown article. I wouldn't hesitate to take this breathtakingly fast, eminently dependable and comfortable roadster on yet another similar adventure. But now it's your turn! [Richard Rogers]
