How many "oldtimers" drive/own Terminators?

[Tygr1]

So on Sunday I'm going to look at a Cobra for sale. I'm 60 years old. Am I crazy?

I don't want to go fast in it necessarily, just want to own one, ya' know?

 

[JRH2592]

That wouldn't be crazy at all! Hey, 98.625% of corvettes are owned by people in your age bracket, more power to ya for going against the grain!

A bunch of older guys on here with Cobra's.

 

[RI-SVT]

go for it man, age ain't nothing but a number they say....

Just make sure you don't have a heart attack the first time you go WOT and you'll be okay. :burnout:

 

[raym5_0]

its all in the " Attitude":coolman:

I suspect Carol Shelby was still pretty decent even in his elder years....

 

[Mike L.]

I'm 68 and I do just fine in my Cobra. No heart attacks here, although some of the 9 and 10 sec. diesel trucks I help build and drive scare me.

I'm 68 also, had one since it came out July of 2002 still puts a smile on my face

one of the guys that we know and shows up at mustang magic has a 8 second twin turbo mach 1 and is way into his 60's

 

[big dad]

I'm 69 will be 70 in May..... Yikes. Still hangin in there, bought mine in 02 when I was still a tech at my dealership. Had left knee surgery in 07 but can still bang gears with the best of em.

 

[Bdubbs]

I plan on keeping mine for as long as I'm around.

 

[Givens]

Do what ever makes you happy, I think its great!!

My dad and I just put a 6.1 Hemi out of a newer SRT8 in his 68 Charger, he's 63. We drove it for the first time about a week ago, and I had a big smile on my face riding in the passenger seat while he burned the tires off from a stop light.

Stock clutch in a Terminator is the stiffest clutch man ever created, so be prepared. I'm joking (hopefully) but it's a beast. Something like a twin disk will fix that, or you could even go hydraulic conversion. But I would say that's what keeps most older guys away from them and in a vette. Do a 2.3 blower and start rolling up vettes.

Stock terminator clutch is not stiff at all.

I'm 68 and purchased my Cobra new. I track my car twice a year and pass a lot of young guys out there. As long as your healthy and feel good enjoy, nothing like driving my Cobra to put a smile on my face.

Can't really speak..I'm 28, but I guess you're never too old for that kind of thing. I'll probably own a Terminator until I die, been having mine since I'm 25 and I don't think I ever sell this thing it's such a rush when driving it.

Whatever person who sit in my car and push the clutch did not ever tried a clutch that hard. I don't think it's the hardest out there but easily in the top for sure. But again all these peeps drove Hydro clutchs.

No way man that's awesome. If you enjoy cars and want one get it. My dad is 57 and has 03 Mach 1 with fully built 03 cobra swap under the hood. I have yet to beat him in a race in my 03 cobra. Haha

 

[MG0h3]

Do it.

My dad was born in 42'. I remember when the Terminators first came out he spotted a Mystichrome and said hed like to have one some day. He never did, but the point is it caught his eye.

Viagra on wheels!!

I'm almost 60 - have an 04 MC Terminator - love it!
