He did claim to own a 427 competition car, but that it was "in Europe".
I've seen him a couple of times since then, most recently to look over a pile of 289 Cobra bits that he was trying to sell to a friend of mine for $40k. He is one of the true characters of Cobradom.

A little while back some pranksters stole a zebra from a man who owned one in Oxford and led him up the stairs of Seney Hall, the administration building at Oxford College of Emory University. The prank got national publicity. A web search shows the owner of the zebra was Curtis Jackson. Interesting "character"!!
