Not Ranked
Took the Cobra to the Ford show at Knott's Sunday. About 25 Cobras there; 4 or 5 originals, a Brock/Superformance Coupe, an Upstates Coupe; and the rest replicas. There was a nice ERA there with an aluminium-headed 427 SOHC!!
Also a 427 Comp car, with documented racing history. It won its' class at Sebring back in the 60's. The man says its worth $550,000.
But the biggest crowd was around Lynn Park's 289 Cobra, dubbed "Dirtbag". Pale oxidized yellow paint, obvious repaint on some body sections, dents, loads of rock chips, etc. Worn and torn upholstery, faded carpets, and a rusty/dusty/musty engine compartment. (Car is mechanically "gone thru", to be reliable for the amount of driving Lynn does in this car.) This car was in someone's backyard for 25 years. Lynn calls this car "Barn-fresh!!"
Had a lot of people posing for pictures in front of our Cobras. The weather was nice and warm, and it was a great day for a car show.
