What are your Opinion's on the Hardtop​

Hard top lines clash with the body. If he wanted a Charger should have bought one.:D
 
Nicely done, but I wouldn't get one. Spoils the character and lines IMO.

I like the Shelby Cobra, but an update with _slightly_ more rake to the windshield would be nice if it can be done right. Dave Kindig could do it right I believe.

How many fake Shelby Cobras are on the road now? Do they call them "tributes" or something else? They ain't "clones".
 
A big block cobra has always been on my bucket list ,not digging the hard top on that car, soft top would probably be my first choice.
I do like the hatchback/fastback styles compared to that one.

The more I look at pictures #3, 4 and 5 with the hard top the more I like it. Might even prefer a coupe.

Back in the 80's "Automobile" magazine had an article on a Cobra where someone had installed a 426 Hemi , I'm digging thru my stash of old magazines to find it
 
The Daytona coupes look right or maybe that’s the only roofed cobra I’ve seen before

Remember seeing in NHOA issue in the 80's a guy named Kingman Hintz was doing a Cobra/426 Hemi build. Don't know if it was ever finished. Not sure I spelled his last name correctly ?
 
Yuck! I don't like cobras with the hardtop on. Looks funny to me.... I'd take a Daytona coupe in a heartbeat though!
 
a real one with a hardtop (removable)
