This is the AMT King Cobra kit. I based this build not on any particular car, but just on an idea. I knew a few guys back in the 80s that loved to cruise. They (alright, me too) would run slicks when able to, and they would do what they could to hop things up, but they kept the cars street legal. That's how I decided to build this kit.











Here's the engine compartment wired up





I mounted a spare tire in the trunk

Nice Cobra Scott. Built a couple of these myself. Is that the intake from the kit ?

Nice job, I always liked the opening trunk on this one.

[Scottnkat]

Thanks, guys - yep, that's the kit intake

Nice job, Scott. But it needs a Utah plate to be street legal.

[Scottnkat]

Thanks, guys - yeah, you're right, Danno!

It's awesome to see it as a drag car with a small block. Great work!

I have a friend here in Denver that has a beautiful 65 Cobra. Real car! It has a 427 in it now. It has a 476 blower on it, sticks out of the hood way up high! You just tap the go fast pedal on it and your sideways in an instant! The thing is amazing on a ggod track with huge mickey thompsons!
