Shots from Cars & Coffee

[DirtyD]

I'm not a master photog, but I wanted to share some shots from Cars & Coffee Dallas yesterday. Canon 60D with 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM lens I was shooting in Av mode. Still Don't trust myself in manual mode.

Those Cobra's...I love them. We would all love an original, but I would sell it and get a factory five with that 5.0L. Reliability with the classic looks!

Great photos BTW!

Nice work, Derek, but are you sure you have that last photo labeled correctly? I never saw an original Cobra with a tilt up front end.

[downtime!]

It has to be a kit, no one would modify an original 427/SC with a tilt front end (which they did not come with). Nice car still, but not original.

See, that's what I can't figure out. Doing some google searching I found a few Cobra race cars that had tilt front ends. However, those were pictures with not much details. So I don't know if some of the actual race cars came with tilt fronts or not. I didn't get the chance to talk to the owner.

^ I don't think the Cobra's did, but I think the Daytona Coupes had the tilt front end?

Great pics! What are you shooting with? In auto or playing with the settings while shooting?

Shooting with a Canon 60D and 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM lens, mostly in Av mode adjusting exposure as needed.

This is the only one I can find online that is a "flip top" and it's a prototype, CSX 2196.

Great pics, broski. Wish I could have made this one!

Yup. Note the 5 lug wheels.

Cobra kit with Coyote is a sweet package. I don't think its practical to get 1500 pounds out of my Mustang, but that would sure make it FLY!!!

Nice set, thanks for sharing.

What wheels are on those snakes?

That flip top Cobra is a one of one car, probably done as an exercise for the racing circuit back in the day.

The other dead giveaways on the one at C&C? 14 or 15" front discs, and wheels that bolt on like a regular car. 427/SC's had pin drive wheels with real knock offs.

[Antothoro]

Yeah, that cobra looks good. I was surprised when I saw the Coyote in it.

Thanks for that, Bryan. Definitely learned something and a way to distinguish these cars now
