For those who've never heard Bill Cosby's tale of the Super Snake that he owned (briefly), here's a link for your listening pleasure...

For those who have, here's something you may recognize. I was walking the aisles of the local office supply store today and came across a Dymo label maker and couldn't resist.

Boy! that brought back lot's of memories for me. I had every one of his albums as a kid and would listen for hours and laugh with my mom. Thanks so much for that. Wonder who has this car now?

Unfortunately the guy that purchased the car from Cosby died in the car when he drove off a cliff and into the Pacific ocean. Only one still exists (Shelby's).

Actually, no. The car was pulled up the cliff and a buyer in the UK bought it (I believe less engine.) I heard that he was going to rebuild it, but sold it to fund another project.

I didn't know that. Interesting. So the other one might pop up some day.

For Sale: Cobra Super Snake. Carpets slightly damp.

Last I heard was that the car was rebuilt and sold to someone here in the states . . . so it does exist somewhere??
