AMT Cobra What the ?????

[slusher]

Really neat idea and VW engine looks great in it! 

[spencer1984]

That's actually pretty neat, and nice clean work on it too!

I never would have thought of putting a VW engine in a Cobra.  Very imaginative, Ray.  Aren't you happy you quit building? LOL

Thank you guys. I had no idea that someone made "real ones" . That's just not right !  Hey Jim, I quit building every week it seems. I will always build Cobra's. Being retired I find I do need something to do besides doing stuff around the house.

I was going to say there must be someone that did this in 1:1, so it all looks appropriate to me!  :)

What the ??? indeed. 

There have been Jag, Ferrari, Porsche 917 and MG "replicas" on Bug underpinnings, so why not a Cobra?

Here's one of the real bodies made for Bug guts...

As much as I love Cobra's I could not have one of those.

[vintagercr]

Awesome!

[Geno]

Cool idea.

[cobraman]

Thanks Steve and Gene !

[DustyMojave]

I love Cobras, and I love VW bugs. But not in the same car...

OTOH, they have very close to the same wheelbase...

Great little weekend toy for that "midlife crisis on a budget". 

Now let's see someone do it with the Monogram Bugatti!

[NYLIBUD]

Looks pretty cool to me.Good job.I like it.

[ToyLvr]

And sometimes a V-8 winds up where you don't expect to see one...?

 

[crazyjim]

That has to be a noisy ride.

[cobraman]

Perhaps the Crown conversion ?

Perhaps the Crown conversion ?

Kelmark, in this case. Chevy 283 in the back seat?

[webestang]

Unique, different, strange and cool. 

[Dann Tier]

Well built, AND very imaginative!!!

[oldcarfan]

It looks like one of those cars stuntmen used to build for movies when the real thing was too expensive or hard to come by! Cool!

[Chuck Most]

So sick and twisted... how could I NOT love it? 

[cobraman]

Thanks guys. Trying to think up another twisted version.

[Alix Bernard]

Ray, just cause you can doesn't mean you should!!!!!!! Kiddin', its cool. If this isn't the place to think outside of the box we ALL need to start collecting stamps.

[Rudy]

Dare to be different!

I can tell the walls are closing in on you. How about stretching the front end and putting an Allison V12 under the hood? Now that should keep your mind occupied. Oh by the way I thought the VW powered snake was wild and gave me a real chuckle!
