Smile Hey..Cal...!

I'm sure you read about the first time I saw a Cobra on a local Ford dealership's floor. My Dad had said he would buy me a car to take to college when I graduated...(Nice guy, my Dad! I love him dearly...!) Anyway, I went off on my Honda to look at what was on the market and gather some cost data. Wound up on a Sunday morning standing in front of a Ford dealer's window looking through it at a white/blue striped Shelby Cobra. It was a roadster, as I recall, and it was all roped off so the average dickweed couldn't just walk up to it and jump in. I could just barely see the sticker price on the windshield in front of the passenger seat. $6,682 and some change! I figured evan God didn't have that much money and left to go look at Camaros.

Ain't hindsight a wonderful thing? Wonder what that would have brought when the market was up so high for these little cars? Of course, I'm sure I would have sold it at some later date for something more 'responsible'....

Yeah...right.......
