Her car is 100% legit. What is a real Cobra worth right now?

The last really nice style from Porsche.

Surely you jest, last great styled Porsche?
918, Carrera GT, 986/987 Boxster’s, 996 TT, C4S…. Might not like them for some reason but they are pretty cars.

Miura Schmura .. it's a ripoff design, the Mid engineplacement concept is not Italian.

PORSCHE 904 by Butzi
Looks great from any angle
Sounds amazaballs when driven in anger

Wasn't a JetSet toy but a real race car.
WON RACES
WON Rallies

I think that view in your example doesn't look good at all, it's flat..looks boring boxy to me.

904 has a better backside by far

I've always loved the Ferrari 246.

I'd thought if I had a lotto win I'd buy one. But these days I think it would take two lotto wins.

This is it for me. I'm a Targa guy. I owned this for four years:



As Glen mentioned about his 911, I smiled every time I saw it or got in it.

No jest at all, none of the ones you mentioned have the style and classic look of the air cooled.
Most Of what you listed look Japanese and resemble other modern cars , other than a few of the obvious ones, nothing sets them apart from pretty much everything else being produced today.

No, it doesn’t. Not even close.

^ that's perhaps the best image I've seen of a Cobra. Makes me want one. A lot!

Very cool, a buddy use to own one, he had a personalized plate "Real One ".
After he sold it, it was stolen and evidently found in a container that was going to be shipped to Japan. To make things more interesting another one appeared with the same vin number. So law enforcement flew him out to California to identify his old car.
I've loved Cobras since I got a Hot Wheels version as a kid.









And who can forget the classic scenes from Gumball Ralley.

Such a difficult question as beauty came come from many places.
I like brains with beauty personally, as they compliment each other.
The Gullwing in silver/red is hard to argue with, and the one I'd most likely marry. But There are many, many Italians who could distract from that opinion.

For Bob.
