Oh, thank you for the update on the "amazing barn find" story. I read about that when it was first being reported and never read any follow ups. posted by hecho de la basura at 7:22 AM on May 6, 2008
Incensed that comedian Bill Cosby had an affinity for European sports cars, Carroll Shelby vowed to build him a twin-supercharged custom Cobra that would go over 200 mph - faster than any car Steve McQueen owned.
The car Shelby built for Cosby, with a reputed 900 bhp was downright scary. In his comedy routine, “200 MPH” Cosby described it this way: “The car was idling, I was in neutral, I hadn’t put my foot and the gas pedal, and already, the car was killing people.”
I find this to be an incredibly strange concept and I'm having a really difficult time wrapping my head around it.
Bill Cosby actually being funny?
Oh, the things I could do with a 900hp Shelby Supersnake.
Mainly: crash. And then die. posted by quin at 8:03 AM on May 6, 2008
Great follow-ups to several stories I've read over the past years. I was hoping for more info on the Belvedere though. Last I heard Foose was going to try to restore it. Or at least chop, channel, and smooth it out. Then paint it with a hideous multi-color pearl paint job. posted by Big_B at 9:11 AM on May 6, 2008
