Saw my first on a road course in 1964. The car belonged to a friend of a friend of the family. Got to sit in it and drool....

In 1966 I walked into a ford dealership in Boston and there sat... A 289 cobra; a 427 street car and one of the GT40's sold to the public. Being a starving HS student with maybe a buck in my pocket I cried.

In 1985 I almost bought one of the Autocraft cars. Put down a deposit on a car at a dealership in Oklahoma. Flew out there to pick it up, dealer sold it to some one else, for more money, about an hour before I got there.

Finally, in Sept 2000 I picked up a large crate. Jan. 4, 2001 I put my FFR POS on the road. Been smiling every since.

Maricopa.. Your welcome.
