My Uncles Cars (427 Cobra, 58 Jag XK, 54 F-100, and more)
 

I actually took these about 4 months ago, but havn't gotten around to posting them.

This is my uncles 427 Cobra, it's a kit car, but it fits the original down to the single lug wheels (if that's what they are called), he took me for a ride in it and it's been my dream car ever since. (it actually was before that, but this set it in stone.)

Here's is what i think is a 1958 XK150 Jag Coupe, if i'm wrong please let me know. I never asked him what it was because i was only asking about the Cobra. :D

A work in progress, this an American V-8 out of a mid 70's Caddilac, and this picture is of it resting in a Triumph TR-2, i can't wait till he finishes this one. It's about 180hp, but i'm sure the sound will be great!

I'm not sure what Triumph motorcycle this is, but it's still a good looking bike.

i <3 the jag. :D

I hate when people put crappy american engines in triumphs and Austin Healeys and other nice cars.

Funny... that's what was needed to make the AC Ace a winner.. ;)

Your uncle's jag is a XK 140 FHC (Fixed Head Coupe)

The XK 150 has a wider radiator grill : http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/3...o1833mr.th.jpg

Well first off it's a kit car, so a real triumph body isn't going to "waist". And the engine is out of my grandfathers cadillac that was uselessly sitting in a barn, and this was a good oppertunity to put two great things together. And watch your language when saying "crappy american" engines, like RC said, the Cobra as well as the GT40 is proof of how "crappy american" engines can be used with great success.

i'm with you
