This might not be the timeliest of posts, although I have been meaning to get to it for a while. Life has been busy… not the least of which was spending time finalizing the specs and colors, etc. for L0054.
In any case, Drew and Janet Serb, along with daughter, Emily Serb Lambert, organized their 30th annual – yes, their 30th! – Cobra 1000 driving tour. Although the tour did not officially kick-off until September 9, a bunch of us gathered with our 17 original Cobras in Jackson, WY a few days in advance of the tour.
I should probably mention that you might notice that none of the photos, in the link below, show any of the Cobras with their convertible tops up – despite some rain. This is because none of us ever bother to carry a convertible top… if it rains, it rains, so what? The cars will dry out – eventually!
This year’s Cobra 1000 began in Jackson and wound its way over to Idaho and into Yellowstone National Park before stopping for the night at the stunning Sage Inn in Pray, MT.
Day 2 of the 1000 took us from Pray, MT to a lunch stop at a friend’s 25,000 acre ranch in Townsend, MT. Here is a link to a drone video showing the Cobras arriving at the ranch, unfortunately, there is no audio. It takes a minute for the video to load.

Before the video was shot, a few of us broke into low triple digits on our way up the one-mile-long driveway to the ranch house; although the ranch owner told us that he holds the driveway speed record at over 140mph in one of his blown hot rods!
We made our way from Townsend to Seeley Lake, MT where we overnighted at the Double Arrow Lodge.
Thursday found us driving through some stunning vistas as we made our way to Big Sky where we overnighted at the 320 Guest Ranch.
Following our stay in Big Sky, we wound our way back to Jackson and to our base of operations at Spring Creek Ranch.
The 30th annual Cobra 1000 was, just like the 29 others, a superb event. All of us had a blast driving these Cobras in the precise manner in which Carroll Shelby had intended for them to be driven!
(Note: Now that the the GT Forum has been overhauled, I cannot figure out how to get more than five photos to upload.)
Here is a link to the photos for anyone who might be interested:
All the best,
