Hi Jeff,

It's good to have you as part of this wonderful site! I am truly saddened to hear about your wife. Perhaps it would help if I told you that my experience is similar but that it was a divorce that took us apart. I've wanted a Cobra since first sitting in a white 289 roadster in a showroom in Santa Rosa, CA in 1965. Always liked the way the 427S/C looked but didn't want the heavy engine 'cause I always wanted great handling; so I'm going with a 351W in a 427 S/C body . Hope to be on the road in August? By the way, I am your age too!
