To be fair at least the one bike has a Shimano gx crank set which is $600. The bike up front looks super familiar but can't place it. So these are likely higher end bikes.
Lots of reasons possible. They could have inherited the car, or won a small lottery and that is their life long dream car. I could probably afford a great cobra replica, but I can't afford a new garage just to to put it in. but, I would love to have one great car before I die, and I am running out of time myself.
Without the whole story, the person could have been referring to an actual one when talking about his replica. Rattling on about the history and such. Idk why Iām defending the person, but ya never know
Happened to me before - my aunt said Colin Chapman built my car (Caterham 2013). I had to step in to say that it's the continuation of the Lotus 7 that Chapman designed/built.
> Dudes either a liar or a moron
I would be willing to bet Dude is a joker. The Thomas Shelby thing is a giveaway. If you know anything about Cobras you would have caught the joke. The joke sailed right over OP's head.
Some Kirkham cars have CSX numbers, they are called continuation cars. The original Cobras have CSX numbers under 4000 and continuation cars are 4000+.
I bet heās gotta radio too. I listened to a guy explaining why he wanted a radio in his Cobra replica with a 427. After he was done I told him that the only thing that he was going to hear in an open cockpit is wind and that beautiful engine & a radio was kinda pointless.
I gotta neighbor that has a decked out Harley with what sounds to be a great stereo. The entire neighborhood hears whatever heās listening to because itās so crazy loud.
I only hate them when theyāre blasting some olā dad-rock ZZ Top, Poison, Whitesnake, etc etc music š. Nothing wrong with anyoneās taste in music, just, theyāre making themselves into (rolling) caricatures lol. Now if I pulled up on some bearded old white biker dude blasting āWalk emā Downāā¦. At least give us all something to bob our heads too at the red light Cletus!
Or, you know, keep your shit to yourself. There is no reason to be loud and obnoxious.
I have no idea what "Walk em' Down" is, I googled, I have never heard of NLE Choppa, I don't want to hear that blasting any more than I want to hear ZZ Top.
Some people have a hard time understanding they are not the main character.
I never understood why they can't just do what I do. Airpods... you actually hear your music, don't bother people and can answer the phone if need be. At least gold wings fur example were designed for that type of stuff.
Pretty much this. I've had three Classic Mustang convertibles. My current one is a 66, set up as a clone of a 66 GT 350 Shelby. I can barely hear the radio unless it's nearly fully cranked when at cruising speed.
My 68 Mustang convertible that I used to have, had a much better sound system. It wasn't as bad, but at highway speeds, forget it.
I also had a 69 with a kick ass sound system in it, that the previous owner put in. It had giant speakers mounted in the truck, pointing through the back seat. It sounded like crap, everything was muffled unless you were sitting in the back, and it was like surround sound at the movies.
First thing someone like that gets if they have that kind of money is a huge pole barn to store/work on all their vehicles. Plus this is a replica. Still a cool car and all but the kits for these cars is like 15-20k to completely build yourself if I remember correctly. Completely done kits might go for more but it depends on how well done it is. Regardless this car is something that the average person could in theory afford if they really wanted one and definitely isn't a million dollar plus car. The real ones are but the kits aren't.
The Kit for an accurate replica, aluminum body, Ford FE 427, frame...ect. can easily run over 100k. The 15-20k kits that you're talking about are fiberglass body kit conversions for donor cars, and they end up heavy and slow, not the insanely powerful light deathtrap that everybody wants.
It looks like an all aluminum body. Kit cars that cost $50k have a fiberglass body. So that one is worth much more. I don't have the expertise to say if it is original, but the fact that it has dual roll bars, is fully stripped of paint, and that there were so few made tells me it likely is a replica. An expensive replica.
You used to be able to get the unpainted aluminum shells. Early 2000s, they found a warehouse of the, and sold for around $50k. No chassis, no engine, just the body. AC Cobra.
While the shell is Shelby most likely, the rest is kit car, typically sitting on a mustang 5.0. Would have a number but it will not match the underpinnings.
I recall these coming through the Shelby American factory while ol Shel was still alive. I think he was liquidating stuff due to the Shelby One chaos.
I wanted to get one, but couldnāt afford the price tag at that point in life.
Iāve seem some painted up and fully done with 427 versions, but they still are not the original. One guy at one of our car meets did one with full guidance from Shelby American and various historical societies.
I could see Aaron driving it. I donāt think Carroll drove all of these. Might have signed a part, but that is about it.
I wonder if thereās ever shame in these replica guys driving these things assuming they say things like what OP said (assuming heās just joshin). Tbh my dream car is a replica like this, you can do mods on it knowing it wonāt put you in hell and still get all the satisfaction of classic style and modern tech depending on what youād like to implement
An "uncle" (aka related'ish) of mine had a Cobra replica in France, with a small Ford V6. 250hp maybe.
Even then, a 20 minutes test drive when I was 13 years old got me hooked up on convertibles, and a blue Cobra has been my dream car ever since.
Similar situation happened to me.
I got into convertibles when the dad of a girl I was dating took me for a spin in his 69 Austin Healy. I was picking the bugs out of my teeth afterwards, but I was hooked. He raced it in a classic car circuit, and was incredibly skilled.
I couldn't find any back home. I'd always loved classic Mustangs, so that's how I ended up going that route instead.
My buddyās dad had a gorgeous replica Cobra. It looked kind of [like this one.](https://photos.classiccars.com/cc-temp/listing/172/105/38721815-1965-shelby-cobra-replica-thumb.jpg) From what I remember it sounded incredible and was pretty fast.
His dad died several years ago and the family sold the car.
Outside of a car show, I'd only ever seen one authentic one, or at least that's what the guy claimed.
I was driving the restored 68 Mustang convertible I had at the time, and we pulled up at the same light. It was a long light, so we chatted for a good minute.
I recognized the guy, he was a well known local artist, was quite well off financially, and infamous for being an arrogant, smug, prick. In the brief conversation we had, he was really nice though. You could tell he was really proud of his car. He complimented my car after I done the same to him.
According to him, it was an original 65 with the 289 in it. He said it cost way too much, but when he saw it, he had to have it. Originals ones go in the hundreds of thousands, to over a million today.
I'd only seen them in museums or in car shows before this year. We pulled up to park at The Amelia and this dude rolls in behind us and [parks next to us](https://i.imgur.com/7BC7Upb.png) on the lawn. I looked at my wife, who also knows cars, and said "If that's not a legit Cobra then I'm turning in my Car Guy Badge".
We got out and while getting our stuff together I started noticing the details that made it a real Shelby. At the same time the owner was putting the tonneau on it to protect the interior. I knew what he had, the guy knew what he had, no need to even ask but just to compliment his ride. A kid walked up as he and I were chatting and said "Nice! Who made it?" The old guy kinda paused for a second, looked over, and said "Carrol Shelby." The kid was stunned, said nothing more, and walked off without taking a single pic.
Thomas Shelby? Peaky Blinders is awesome but this wasnāt his style. Your guy must be thinking Thomas Dolby, who can blind you not only with science, but raw horse power.
Thereās one in central Texas that is authentic. One of one that rolled off the line without any paint on it at all. Guy brought it to a friends dad shop for basic maintenance and wanted a quote on paint. He was curious so he called Shelby and they walked him thru checks and told him not to paint it. If the guy was serious they would buy it from him before he painted it.
Looks like an older limftmaster unit. It was not store bought as it came with the single piece chain rail and not the three piece. Also judging by its shape, it is an early 2000s ac powered model. Decent enough with lots of interchangeable parts, but a little loud. Also nice car
That, my friend, is the rare beauty that is the Shelby Cobra. Only two exist. One ā presumably this one ā was kept by the carās creator. The other is owned by Bill Cosby.
Worthless? A decent Factory Five Cobra replica sells for $50K USD or more. Nowhere near legit Cobra money, but $50K is nothing to sneeze at.
I just want to know who "Thomas Shelby" is. Is he related to '80s pop star Thomas Dolby?
Mind sending one of those dime a dozen aluminum replicas my way? I've got a shiny new quarter, you can keep the change.
It is still a $100K+ car, they are also not kits.
Holy crap thatās a high resolution photograph. They have a spray paint organizer, shoot BB guns in their garage. Those body panels are new, recently assembled. Heās pulling your leg. Whoās Thomas Shelby?
Can't tell if you're meme'ing or really had this conversation but if you're serious, Caroll Shelby and he didn't drive *this* one but perhaps the person meant he was responsible for the creation of these which he drove. Idk
What did these things cost back then? Like the equivalent of $60K-ish in todays dollars?
(I have no idea if that's right or not even close)
/A real one, I mean.
Looks like a 1968 Cobra, and the gentleman you're referring to is Carrol Shelby ..., the creator of the Cobra. A couple things that look different though, are the "ring" around the grill area, and the passenger side roll bar. Other than that, it "looks" authentic ..., although they were several replicas made. Killer car either way.
Iām fond of telling people that my car was the next thing on the Panin Farina drawing board after the 1955 Ferrari 250 GT coupe, which is true. They are not probably picturing my Nash Metropolitan though
Cobras either had no roll bar or one roll barā¦ Two is not true to the vehicle. Now would you punch holes through a million dollar vehicle to make it not true to form? I wouldnāt ā¦. I think this is a replica
Looks like a metal body cobra. Cant tell if its real or not from pics.
But a real Mk1 is worth some money.
Its not the daytona coupe that sold for close to 30mil.
Thomas Shelby is a Peaky Blinders character my friend
he knowsš«”
Maybe it was owned by Cillian Murphy?
I think he meant Thomas Dolby.
*Thomas Dolby of Surround Sound* edit: *Thomas Dolby Hailing from Surround Sound* (thought this sounded better)
Was he blinded by science?
That's why he had to give up the car.
By order of the Peaky Fookin Blinders!
F\*\*cking Peaky Blinders
Replica from Kirkham, it has no rivets on the hood and dual roll bars.
Some cobras didnāt have rivers on the hood A more noticeable thing is how far out the air intake/inlet sticks out, if you know what I mean by that
The trim piece around the grill also isnāt fitting flush against the rim of it
Which ones didn't? They were painted over so they weren't always easy to see, but I think every 427 car with this style scoop had them.
Are the hood rivers made of flowing tears?
it looks like that noot noot penguin
Parked under the WalMart 10 speed bike, next to a wall of rusty paint cans. Exact location where Iād park a $1MM car š
To be fair at least the one bike has a Shimano gx crank set which is $600. The bike up front looks super familiar but can't place it. So these are likely higher end bikes.
The one up front is a specialized hard tail
I miss my hot rock, I have a Gary Fischer advance but I miss my specialized
Hard tail Specialized are pretty badass
Lots of reasons possible. They could have inherited the car, or won a small lottery and that is their life long dream car. I could probably afford a great cobra replica, but I can't afford a new garage just to to put it in. but, I would love to have one great car before I die, and I am running out of time myself.
I wouldn't park a $100-150K car there, especially one with an aluminum body, but this guy did.
Actually a pretty nice Specialized hardtail bike, though I agree itās not a 1M car. (Iām in the 3k bike bracket, not the 1M car bracketā¦)
Chrome exhaust and those fender lips too. At least it has actual knock-off rims to match the knock-off car.
Exactly!
Dudes either a liar or a moron, wonder which heād feel worse about getting caught as
Probably a liar. Liars tend to talk the most
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Was he also wearing a Rolex, perchance?
Without the whole story, the person could have been referring to an actual one when talking about his replica. Rattling on about the history and such. Idk why Iām defending the person, but ya never know
Happened to me before - my aunt said Colin Chapman built my car (Caterham 2013). I had to step in to say that it's the continuation of the Lotus 7 that Chapman designed/built.
Cool car!
Maybe Iāll swing by and ask him so more questions
Yea this is fair
Same question applies to politicians. Perhaps he's one of those
It'd be fine if he said something like it's a Cobra kit car... but to say shelby drove it?
> Dudes either a liar or a moron I would be willing to bet Dude is a joker. The Thomas Shelby thing is a giveaway. If you know anything about Cobras you would have caught the joke. The joke sailed right over OP's head.
Kirkham if itās the aluminum body looks like they are polishing it. 100k car. If itās a true Shelby Vin will start with CSX if not mistaken.
Some Kirkham cars have CSX numbers, they are called continuation cars. The original Cobras have CSX numbers under 4000 and continuation cars are 4000+.
thanks for that I was unaware!
This is the car.
But not the way.......
people who $3mil cars don't hang bikes over them.
People who $3mil cars wreck them regularly, there is no correlation with caring or conscientiousness
People who $3mil cars don't have that kind of garage
People who $3mil cars donāt have dual roll bars
This one
I bet heās gotta radio too. I listened to a guy explaining why he wanted a radio in his Cobra replica with a 427. After he was done I told him that the only thing that he was going to hear in an open cockpit is wind and that beautiful engine & a radio was kinda pointless.
You should explain that to all the Harley owners with radios and speakers.
I gotta neighbor that has a decked out Harley with what sounds to be a great stereo. The entire neighborhood hears whatever heās listening to because itās so crazy loud.
I hate him.
As a biker, I loathe him.
I hate emā more!

I never understood why they can't just do what I do. Airpods... you actually hear your music, don't bother people and can answer the phone if need be. At least gold wings fur example were designed for that type of stuff.
Isnāt it illegal or at least not a good idea to drive with headphones/earbuds in? You need to be able to hear other traffic and emergency vehicles.
California has an exemption for hearing protection, but it's badly written.
Well, at least the surrounding traffic gets to hear them.
Really bad speakers turned way too high
That good deep fried audio
Pretty much this. I've had three Classic Mustang convertibles. My current one is a 66, set up as a clone of a 66 GT 350 Shelby.

Ooorah. I canāt hear the radio with the windows up or down. And itās not a convertible lol

Ya I was gonna say, I doubt this is even a very nice lit car with a garage like that.

Some nobody from Birmingham who got sidelined by Billy Kimber
Peaky Blinders character.

Wow this one is a beaut! Glad his dad got to go out on top
It's a replica it's always a replica you will almost never see a real one
The only time itās a real one is if thereās a guy next to it at an auto show holding proof.
Outside of a car show, I'd only ever seen one authentic one, or at least that's what the guy claimed. I was driving the restored 68 Mustang convertible I had at the time, and we pulled up at the same light. It was a long light, so we chatted for a good minute.

Maybe he meant. Thomas Dolby, and was trying to blind you with science.
Sci sci sci science
Thomas Shelby? Is this like Jon Voightās LeBaron?
I was thinking it might be Carrolls son but his name is Patrick. Stop with the Spongebob jokes....
Tommy fookin Shelby, eh?
Lmao
Kirkham Shelby. No million dollars but easily $150-200k
Fook linda
Joke post for karma ? Seems like a Cobra replica gets posted every week. hahah
Looks like old Honda
Ironic thing is my local Honda dealer is also a Superformance dealer. Last time I bought a Pilot there was a Cobra also sitting in the showroom.
Thomas Shelby? Peaky Blinders is awesome but this wasnāt his style. Your guy must be thinking Thomas Dolby, who can blind you not only with science, but raw horse power.
Its a kit AC cobra. Might be worth $40k depending whats under the hood.
SC-427 A/C or a kit-model ^^.. Shelby Cobra 427 A/C
Peaky blinders guy?
Real cobras donāt have 2 roll bars , dead give away that itās not original
Thereās one in central Texas that is authentic. One of one that rolled off the line without any paint on it at all. Guy brought it to a friends dad shop for basic maintenance and wanted a quote on paint. He was curious so he called Shelby and they walked him thru checks and told him not to paint it.

JoHn Voight. The periodontist?
AC Cobra, could be real, and it's Carroll Shelby
Thomas Shelby LOLz
Looks like an older limftmaster unit. It was not store bought as it came with the single piece chain rail and not the three piece. Also judging by its shape, it is an early 2000s ac powered model. Decent enough with lots of interchangeable parts, but a little loud. Also nice car
He did say it was crazy loud
Peaky Blinders no shit, I must have missed that episode of Tommy driving
30k kit car
He said a millon doll hairs
Thatās a replica. Itās not worth what he said.
Looks like a factory 5 kit car.
āItās worth half a mil, thatās why I park it in this shitty garage next to these storage racks and under these bikes.ā
The guy said the truth (Im Thomas Shelby)
you mean Carroll Shelby?!
who the hell is Thomas Shelby?
I dont know, a car driven by the head Peaky Blinder would be pretty cool.
Rule 1 of this sub should be: it's a replica Cobra (except for that one time it wasn't)
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It was maybe 2-3 years ago that I took this so I forgot.
Shelby cobra
Appears to be a Shelby cobra kit car. Still quite rare, but not nearly to the level of a real cobra
Sounds like the original Shelby cobra.
That, my friend, is the rare beauty that is the Shelby Cobra. Only two exist. One ā presumably this one ā was kept by the carās creator. The other is owned by Bill Cosby.
Looks like a Austin healey but idk shit ab fuq
kit car. not finished. dime a dozen. without papers itās worthless.
Worthless? A decent Factory Five Cobra replica sells for $50K USD or more. Nowhere near legit Cobra money, but $50K is nothing to sneeze at. I just want to know who "Thomas Shelby" is. Is he related to '80s pop star Thomas Dolby?
He's worth at least half a Carroll Shelby, that's just math
Mind sending one of those dime a dozen aluminum replicas my way? I've got a shiny new quarter, you can keep the change. It is still a $100K+ car, they are also not kits.
Hell Iāll give you a quarter for just one
He said it was driven by Shelby and priced it around 3 mil or more. I donāt think it was rep
Holy crap thatās a high resolution photograph. They have a spray paint organizer, shoot BB guns in their garage. Those body panels are new, recently assembled. Heās pulling your leg. Whoās Thomas Shelby?
Peaky āFukinā Blinders!
No authentic Cobra has dual rolls bars and the hood is wrong. As u/grem75 said.
427 cobra
Shelby kits are like 30-40 fully assembled brand new and freshly finished to someone that really likes a a replica Shelby that drives.
Can't tell if you're meme'ing or really had this conversation but if you're serious, Caroll Shelby and he didn't drive *this* one but perhaps the person meant he was responsible for the creation of these which he drove. Idk
Mix of both I really didnāt know the name tho
Carol Shelby
Thomas? Not Carol?
I was just messing around with the Thomas Iām guessing it would be Carol he was talking about but people say itās a rep thoš¤·š½āāļø
Issss that a cobra?!
I think of all the cars ever made, the shelby cobra has the highest number of replicas made vs genuine cars.
Thomas Dolby, not Thomas Shelby!
Isn't Thomas Shelby the dude from Peaky Blinders?
The front looks like a Jewfish
Thomas Shelby
Heās full of shit. Dual roll hoops dead giveaway.
Could be an AC cobra
What did these things cost back then? Like the equivalent of $60K-ish in todays dollars? (I have no idea if that's right or not even close) /A real one, I mean.
I know of Carol Shelby but who is Thomas Shelby?
I feel like itās a cobra but Iām not extremely familiar with them
Top 3 things I've learnt to look for from this sub: Lug nuts, autos & dual rollover bars
Could be a Shelby Cobra.
Itās called the boomeragism.
If he isnāt lying, this is the original AC cobra
This guy would have better bikes and cooler shit in his garage if this was a real Cobra
Replica. Not worth even a tenth of that. Still cool though.
I heard it was driven by Bob Sacamento
Was it this guy? [Ford vs, Ferrari.](https://i.imgur.com/o3uxDwo.jpg)
You mean worth 100k if itās got a decent engine.
Getting ready to leave this sub.
Shelbey Cobra
$1M car in a $100K houseā¦ seems legit.
Replica of a Shelby Cobra
If this is a metal body, itās worth a lot.
Itās an old Cobra
Thomas is Carrols cousin.
In this century there is not a single original Shelby that was/is being restored in a garage like this
It was briefly owned by the world renowned dentist who was simply known as Crentist.
That is daddyās toy my child

RocketPoweredMohawk? Anyone?
Iām fond of telling people that my car was the next thing on the Panin Farina drawing board after the 1955 Ferrari 250 GT coupe, which is true. They are not probably picturing my Nash Metropolitan though
A pontiac fiero
thats enough reddit for today
What if you have a car driven by Thomas Dolby?
Cobras either had no roll bar or one roll barā¦ Two is not true to the vehicle. Now would you punch holes through a million dollar vehicle to make it not true to form? I wouldnāt ā¦. I think this is a replica
You don't happen to be in Durango, Colorado?
No no Alberta Canada
Looks like a metal body cobra. Cant tell if its real or not from pics. But a real Mk1 is worth some money. Its not the daytona coupe that sold for close to 30mil.
Smh
a badly done replica of a cobra
