I just got off the phone with the owner of the car Rick Saccone. Like the article states he has a business that builds customs and does restoration...... this one he built for himself because how he put it "just wanted one"
Being here in Ohio where Ricks shop is and never hearing anything about him, the car nor his shop peaked my interest. After asking around a bit and doing some searches but still coming up empty handed I decided to give him a call.
Rick was a very pleasent guy and sounds as though he has an interesting operation going there. He noted that he had built a number of Cobras over the years from a variety of manufacturers for his customers. He was not aware of the Ohio Cobra Club, Club Cobra nor the Fling! He is now.
Watch for Rick to show up here eventually.
Comment on the car. While I prefer a more original approach, I think it is plainly obvious that this is one well done car. I for one am going to appreciate it for what it is and look forward to checking it out.
Thanks
Rick
