I've known about the Cobra Experience for a while now, but have never had the opportunity to visit until today. For those that have never heard of it, the Cobra Experience is located in Martinez, CA and is a private museum dedicated to all things Shelby. It is only open to the public on the 3rd Sunday of every month, and also hosts a number of private events. Hagerty Insurance was hosting a small event today, and my insurance broker invited me to attend so I jumped at the chance to finally visit. It did not disappoint. Here are a few of the highlights:

Also on display were a 289 and 427 Cobra chassis for comparison:



Here's a lineup of 289 Cobras in the foreground, and some Shelby Mustangs in the next row:





This is CSX 2606, 1 of 16 "continuation" Daytona Coupes that was build by Mike McCluskey.



... and a few Sunbeam Tigers.
