CSX 3154-
Invoice #1811, dated 10/26/65 billed to Gotham Ford, NY, NY. Green/Black, 427, $6,145.00. Instead of shipping to Gotham, Richards requested the car be retained at SAI. Richards picked up the car at SAI and drove it to Portland, Oregon. Richards, a medical student, was doing post grad work at Oregon. Heading back south, Richards hit a rock on the Pacific Coast highway and put a hole in the pan. The engine was rebuilt at a local garage in Newport, Oregon with Richards doing some of the work. Following that, Richards drove the car to the University of Iowa where he/she was doing a medical residency at the U. of I. In '67 Richards flew a plane back to NY and hired a college student to drive the Cobra cross country. An electrical fire, likely caused by a newly installed tape deck, broke out in western Pa. and 3154 had to be left in McKeesport for repairs. It was subsequently sold.
Richards underwent a well publicized sex change operation and wrote a biography titled, "Second Serve", which included accounts of her Cobra ownership. The book featured a pic of her taking delivery of 3154 at SAI. As we all know Richard went on to become a fairly (semi) famous tennis star.
