You can bet the maintenance conditions were a little more civilized down at Mr Norm's. 
Larry Watson knew the score when it came to cool.
Why is the surfer on the left yelling ? Maybe his pal forgot to shut down the hopped up mill and can't be heard over the backdrop of crashing waves and the clatter of solid lifters.
The very first Cobra Daytona Coupe in action at the 1964 12 Hours Of Sebring where it won the GT class and placed 4th overall driven by Dave McDonald and Bob Holbert. CSX 2287 later set 23 international speed records at the Bonnevile salt flats before vanishing for thirty years. The story of the missing Daytona is a bizarre affair involving rock and roll heavyweights, bodyguards, double-dealing hustlers, mental instability and suicide.
Hans Schmidt's El Cid 289 Cobra was a tough competitor on the drag strip. CSX 2248 took the A/Sports honors at the 1965 AHRA Winternationals with a 10.86 ET @ 124.36 MPH.

There's not much room left for groceries when you stuff a blown V8 in the back seat.
Mr Norm - Chicago's King of High Performance Mopar and driver Gary Dyer trackside at Lions.
Cadillac's 1959 Cyclone concept was a jet age dream from the top of its bubble canopy to the very tips of its rocketship fins. This cleverly restyled version takes it into customland with a longer roofline and a sneaky lowering job.
Gene Hammon's Cobra gets some Texan air under its tires at Green Valley Raceway with Bob Bondurant [top] and Bill Steele [bottom] in the hot seat.
Shelby's first 427 powered GT40 passes a herd of naked GT 350's enroute to Le Mans in 1965. GT 106 would carry Ken Miles and Bruce McLaren for 45 laps through the French countryside until gearbox failure put them out of the hunt. 
The Jeffries, Walker & Wilie A/Gas Willys complete with Californian licence plate. I wonder how far they would have gone before a cop spotted the drag chute and slicks hanging a foot past the fenders ?
