[Rick Parker]

I was at a good sized (750+) local car show a couple of years ago where there were a total of 5 Cobras being shown. All the others with the exception of mine (289 body) were 427 Body style. I was parked next to a very nice one with a 428 and the others scattered throughout the show had 302 varients. All were very nice cars. A fellow looked at the car next to me and then approached mine from one side and looked at my engine and then at me and asked if it was mine. I acknowleged. He then caught me off gaurd, he said "Thanks for bringing out a real 289 it's great to see a 289 after loooking at all of the "other ones" . I just snickered to myself as he walked away???????
