I should add my two bits to this thread, as well. I was smitten by the Cobra bug in the early '60s when some friends raced their AC Bristol; later they added an early 260 engined model that had been rolled, and then an Aceca; then to really stoke the fires a local attorney acquired a 289 and a 427. One ride and I was hooked forever. College, service, wife, kids & private school, and their ever appreciating value have kept the Cobra a dream. My goal was to have the garage filled by age 50. I returned from a short vacation in Utah this past June and found my close friend yellow with jaundice and a case of pancreatic cancer. I'm not going to wait any longer...

I'll be 48 this Sunday.
