Manitoba Cobra & GT40

Once you get past the first few minutes of introduction...I challenge you not to finish at least the first 30 or so minutes.

Cool old guy has an OG Cobra AND a one of one only GT40 in orange.  Real, not fake kits.

More info on the GT40...Safir - built it in 1992.  So original in the sense it's like on of those continuation models.  I guess.  Can't get any closer to an OG than a Safir I suppose.

His Cobra isn't an original from the 1960s, but is a Contemporary Classic replica/kit.

Nonetheless, the cammer is friggin' awesome!

Well, I took a look. Kinda skimmed through it mostly. Definitely didn’t watch anywhere near 30 minutes.

So this guy is basically a hoarder? Dozens of cool vehicles covered in dust in a messy old Quonset?

I don’t get it. Pick your two or three favourites, fix them up and drive them, and spend the money you made selling the rest to build a nice, clean garage with lots of space for what you’ve kept.
