Anyone ever hear of a Kelly Python? was going to be the Cobra replacement.

The "Python" is a relatively unknown car. It originally started in the mid 60's when Ford's Vice President of Design, Eugene Bordinat (Gene), was designing a new body for Carroll Shelby to use as a replacement for the AC Cobra. With the help of McKinley Thompson (first major African-American car designer at Ford), they designed 2 successors (1 convertible and 1 coupe). The prototype, now called the Bordinat Cobra, was designed using a new plastic called Royalex, produced by United States Rubber Company (now known as Uniroyal).

Allegedly, 12 were built, 7 survived.
2 seater, shortened Mustang frame.
Kinda cool, but they need to lose the Mustang and Wire wheels. Not a fan of the T-bird lights either (or at least remove the emblem).
