The owner of the business were I work has a real nice 4000 mile, '67 390 hp 427 Corvette convertable that is a real nice car. He has it on display in the showroom with a 1967 Brochure on the windshield that my co-worker found for him on EBAY, (Pretty Cool). Several months ago someone told him I had a Cobra and he was soon after in my office asking about it. About 2 weeks ago I took it to work (rarely do) and asked if he wanted a ride. Well, I didn't have to ask him twice! He jumped at the opportunity. The entire sales staff was huddled around the car as we were getting buckled in and anxously waiting when we got back. Drove about 4 or 5 miles and excercised the linkage on the Webers a little, and he was quite impressed. Since then he has mentioned it to 3 of our customers that he has brought into my office. He asked if I wanted to temporarily display it nose to nose with his Corvette on the showroom and use it in a joint newspaper ad to draw traffic. That would be cool.
