They're 11X14 and extremely good quailty. $10! This is a print by Dexter Brown. It comes up on Ebay every once & a while. I have some pretty cool original photos & some Bill Neale stuff I'll post later. Dave -

No, Nomad, I'm not talking about a '60's flash back! LOL! ---------- "There is nothing nice about a Cobra. It's stripped down to the essentials, a big engine, a small car, and four wide tires to keep the whole business on the pavement. It's loud, smells like gasoline, and shakes, shudders, and bucks. It makes your arms tired and your feet hot. You nearly crash about once every 10 minutes. It's so damn wonderful that you can't believe it."

Can't do it today, it is raining and I figured if I took them outside, there would be less reflection. ---------- "There is nothing nice about a Cobra.

Good stuff, Dave! ---------- "There is nothing nice about a Cobra. It's stripped down to the essentials, a big engine, a small car, and four wide tires to keep the whole business on the pavement.

427SnakeSC Administrator 1013 posts Jul 26, 2008 4:15 AM	Excellent pics Dave! I noticed the pic of the 427 is one of the early body styles, maybe CSX 3002? ---------- "There is nothing nice about a Cobra.

427SnakeSC Administrator 1086 posts Aug 19, 2008 11:42 AM	Got another one, yesterday, but the glass was broken in transit. Will be taking it in to get the glass replaced. I'll post a pic when I get it back. Great pics of Monterey, Dave! ---------- "There is nothing nice about a Cobra.

Dave5000 76 posts Aug 21, 2008 6:36 AM	Thanks, Bruce! I've been exchanging some emails with Gayle Brock and it looks like they may start adding some more Cobra-Years photo's to their archives. I don't know where I'll put them (no room!) but I'll figure out something.. :) Also, one of the primary photographers from the Cobra-Ferrari Wars book, Bernard Cahier, is in the middle of reorganizing his archives and will be able to fulfill some orders the beginning of 09. There are some great images in that book and I'd like to get my hands on some.
427SnakeSC Administrator 1087 posts Aug 21, 2008 1:22 PM	Sounds interesting, Dave. Let me know if some come available. ---------- "There is nothing nice about a Cobra.

I took it in yesterday, along with a couple of other pics I had, to get framed. Should be able to post some pics next week. ---------- "There is nothing nice about a Cobra.

427SnakeSC Administrator 1106 posts Aug 28, 2008 12:56 PM	This is the new pic, my better half just got me. I picked it up today at the frame shop. When it was delivered the glass was shattered. I have it on the wall in my new game room, still under construction. LOL! ---------- "There is nothing nice about a Cobra.
