| Distinguished - BHPian   |  Handbuilt Car in DXB - the King Cobra I saw this on the front page of a tabloid today and thought ajmat had moved to the UAE! More than the story of the car, it is also a story about life! Xpress: News | King Cobra: Made in the UAE

| Team-BHP Moderator   | Quite a success story there. Nothing is impossible. These kind of stories just go to prove that dreams indeed do come true. You want to buy one of those Steer ?

| BHPian  | Excellent accomplishment!! Why twin roll bars though? (the original had only one) but extra protection never hurts..especially on a custom frame and shell.. It is actually very similar on authenticity.. in regards to handling..the original 427 cobra was called a "widow maker" because of its handling.. Getting one steer?

| Excellent work. Wish him all the best. It is a great project, will keep an eye out for one of these out here. The dash is simple and nice and the throw shift is beautiful.

Fantastic. Thanks for that. The Cobra is one of my all-time favourites for raunch and appeal. | |

| Senior - BHPian  | Wow! An achievement that is. Especially being it in UAE where anything automotive means imported. I think I am a bit capable of the bucket Steer is talking of, so I would definitely try to get one for that price. Lekin, I will have to do the maintenance or what? :@

| Super-Admin  | Great lunch read, and cheers to his spirit. I do hope that his cars meet with some level of market success. Quote:
