  • When someone's job is to take care of the cars in Jay Leno's very own garage, you'd best believe that they're going to be good at taking care of their own cars too. Jeremy Porrazzo from Jay Leno's Garage received this replica Shelby Cobra as a family heirloom, and has been taking meticulous care of it ever since.

    I found it interesting that he said you needed to be short to drive an original 427 Cobra. I'm 6'6" and I have an original that I purchased in 1968. I drove it as my every day car for the first 4 years I owned it so obviously I fit in it. I did take the seat tracks off and bolted the driver's seat to the floor to give me a bit more head room with the soft top on. The car had 9,000 miles when I purchased it and I put about 48,000 miles in the first 4 years. It currently has 81,600 miles.

      @@culbycars We did around 1,200 miles on our honeymoon. We also did some 12 hour rallies back in the early 70s. Our last fairly long trip was about 6 hours each way. Coming back it was 95 degrees on I5 and my wife suffered from the heat. She informed me it was her last long trip in the Cobra.

    In '68, or thereabouts, the UK Autocar magazine did a full test on a genuine 427 - read it so often as a kid that it fell apart! IIRC, 0-120mph was 10.9 seconds and, back then, a Euro' "sports car" took about that to get to 60! Also recall they had a rear puncture and the jack wouldn't fit under the car because it was so low with the flat.
