This is my summertime ride. It's not really a "hot rod", but it's close enough for me. Gas costs too much for a V8.
EDIT: Hey, are those Halibrand wheels on the Cobra? Does it have a Jag rear end under it? A friend of mine had a Cobra kit car, it had those same wheels, a Jag rearend, and a Gurney built 302 with tunnel port heads and six Webers. It was BAD ASS!
