Those used to be road raced with just a simple roll bar and open face helmet/googles for protection. Oh ya, and driving gloves. Google Dave MacDonald Shelby Cobra.

I mean it's no honda civic or nsx
but yeah its one hell of a car.
No, 1800lbs. Lol
Even with $1000 worth of 315 rear tires it doesn't hook up worth a darn. Soooooo much fun.
Spent Saturday ripping around in my friends Shelby Cobra. 500hp+ in a 1800lb "car" makes for a very fun ride
must be a 'replica'. All the 'real' ones are in private collections, museums, etc....
Yes it's a replica.
Love Cobras, I'd drive a replica in a heartbeat... there are some really nice ones around the $40-50k range. Well built cars.
And on that topic, if money was free-flowing and I had the time, I'd build a replica Daytona Coupe in an instant. God damn, most beautiful cars ever built...

Guy had one at the Orangeville car show painted flat black rubbed down with WD40 looked mean as heck. Didn't look overly safe either.

You can get a kit for your Datsun.
Those kinds of kits are typically a joke. The purpose-built kits are more like the real thing, from a geometry perspective.

i hate those cars totally stupid the replicas I mean
Nobody will notice.
By now that should be implied.
Perspective.... the competitors cars of the time were the Ford Pinto and Chevy Vega. We all know the history of those.....
Industrial art. Who are we to judge? You know what's really stupid? A car called "The Judge". People go kookoo for that **** Don't understand it.

My favourite car related experience was driving an original 289 AC Cobra a few years back. The Cobra was the car I had on my wall growing up, got to realize a dream for a sec.
On the downside, it only did two blocks before breaking down, and I was too scared to get on the gas. Also the dashboard lined up perfectly with where my knees wanted to be.
Still had a blast though
