Nagging Questions???

Almost sounds like an inside job to me.
Never said if truck was broken into in any way.
Heck, a real car thief would have taken both truck and trailer.
I would like to see a 600hp 4 banger.
Wonder if he was running racing fuel in it.

Don't the dragster guys get 2500 to 3000 out of 8 bangers so it must be possible but I didn't see it in the car in the video that one looked like 300 tops unless he is runing that new uranium based fuel He He

Todays top fuel dragster engine put out 8000-8500HP.

If I had a '65 Cobra, I would not put a GM 4-cylinder in it. I would look for a Ford 427. I wonder if this is a replica?

It stinks that it was stolen, original or replica.

Wonder if the original owner ever got it back....since the "clip" is a year old.

Also, I suspect it is a "kit" Cobra, which are worth substantailly less than the real thing.....especially if he stated a value of $100K. I witnessed "real" Cobras sell for near $1 Mil, at Barret Jackson and others.
