The glossy black paint on the sleek hood and the black vinyl top made the car stand out as it slithered toward me.
The owner eased the Fairlane up the paved access road while looking for a spot on the show field. The car kept my stare and as it rolled by, my eyes locked on the rectangular “428” fender badge and snake emblem on the driver’s side fender. While stopped in my tracks, I thought to myself, “Could it be real?” Then I spotted the snake emblem with scripted “COBRA” letters on the deck lid and went into “seek, find and discovery” mode. It was worth risking a bite to learn if this was an honest-to-goodness 1969 Cobra or someone’s gussied-up Fairlane Torino.
