This is one beautiful Cobra, from the exterior to interior tounder the hood this vehicle boasts power and performance. This is a car you have to see in person to understand how amazing itreally is.Firing up the engine really shows you how much power this Cobra has just from the sound alone. It is so much fun to drive and makes you feel like you are in the seat of arace car yet it has all the comforts youwould want.The builder Ron Butler was acrew member of Carroll Shelby in the 60s.Carroll Shelby said of Butler Racing "Rondoesn't do anything thatisn't first-class.
