"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .

Phil, If you will itemize the GT350s for the audience, here are the Cobra cars participating.


A.C. Cars / Shelby vehicles wise with some notes on cars longer away from their homes: CSX3204, COX6126 (transported from New York), CSX2045 (transported from Washington State), CSX2551 (owners trailered from Montana), CSX2321 (owners trailered from Missouri), CSX2490, CSX2401, CSX3245, CSX3139, CSX2177, CSX2181 (transported from Kansas), and CSX2497 (owners trailered from Ohio).

1964 Cobra owner since 1983, Cobra crazy since I saw my first one in the mid 1960s in Huntsville, AL.

The Hardee's parking lot across the street from the hotel became the staging area each morning.

A great panoramic view worthy of a picture frame, I'd say.  Where else on the planet does something like this happen and how often?

... Where else on the planet does something like this happen and how often?

In short, often during spring and fall seasons in many states and countries every year in the continental USA and Europe. All the ones that I know about are by invitation of the organizer(s).


Organized tours for Cobras/427 Cobras/289 Sports happen in east, south west, and sometimes north west most years. Tours for any A.C. Cars Ltd vehicle happen in the UK and Cobra/427 Cobra/289 Sports tours happen in mainland Europe. Sometimes one to several GT350s join in the eastern tours but I do not know about the western states versions. There could be an organized tour almost any spring or fall somewhere. We have participated in tours between 750 and 1,300 miles in length.  These by invitation events are not public static display shine and show events; drivers get the cars out early and go driving planned routes - during sunny days, cool days, warm to hot days, sometimes brief night drives, in the rain, on mud or gravel roads sometimes, road construction zones, and yes even snow storms are part of the equation sooner or later. Driving through road work areas is almost a given. (Note: Other groups I know little about have invited original Cobras, 427 Cobras, and 1960s GT40s.)

There are also GT350 focused tours in various locations around the continental USA yearly also.
