Ex....Now that is scary! Hell, I like to keep track of them! Which reminds me. Does anyone know the where-abouts of the Chinook Winds Casino Cobra we did a few years ago? Red & White, black interior, built up 302-EFI?

History as I know it: 73 Year old female won it, DROVE the heck out of it for two weeks, called me wanting a book value. Said she was going to sell it because one of her 40+ year old sons was either going to kill her for it, or they were going to kill each other over it!

That Friday, she sold it to a Ford dealer in Oregon (Casino's home town) he called me Friday night and asked about the car. Monday the NEW owner (3 days..that must be a record!) called and I had the same conversation with him.

A year later a man/wife team that delivers cars out of Pa. was delivering a car to Oregon, where the husband spotted the car and did what most of us true Cobra lovers do- eyes glazed, mouth went dry and he muttered to himself for months. This was his wifes description! Seems a few months later they were about to celebrate a 30 +/- anniversay. She tracked me down through the Vin plate on the car, bought the car for her hubby and sent him out to Oregon to pick it up. She never told him what he was picking up, just simply an old Ford

She called me once again a few months later and wanted information on the Fling. I never did find out if they made last years Fling or not? All I know is that they were from eastern Pa. If anyone knows of them, thell them to call home!

You truly never, never own one of my cars. You can however take it home for a long time with a small down payment!

Dave, no thunder to steal fella! I call it "HELPING OUT!" I'll have to look, but I think Tom has that listed on the Site for Saturday and Sunday!

I did tell you that the Dyno will be with us on Sat. and Sunday too didn't I?
