What a great story. In 1967 @ Pacific Raceways in the pits (Just parked, not racing) was a BRG 427 Street, that car I spent many hours just looking at (I was in LOVE and still am
). Two years later I saw the same BRG 427 Street for sale here in Tacoma Wa. in 1969, for $7000 now the chance of buying that car then, became clear to me though my Father, He explained to a 17yo kid with a part time job will, in no uncertain term's (And he was a Sports car guy, 62 Volvo P-1800, and a New 69 Saab Sonett II ) I would not be a owner of a 427 Cobra
Still the flame burned bright, and now I have (Repo) BGR 427SO Street in the garage. It's never too late to make your dreams come true. Cheers TommyRot.
