Csx2271

[hiplainscobra]

Everyone,
In 1977 I got my first ride in a 289 cobra, owned by a Mike Gallagher, Manitowoc, WI. The cobra was silver with a red leather interior. In trying to hunt down the car/Mike I have found a number of posted pictures here on Club Cobra, by phantom03. Some of these pictures were obviously taken in WI as they have Lambeau Field 1976 in one photo, and another references Green Bay.

I have found information relating to the car in the photos (CSX2271), indicating Mike Gallagher as owner, and having sold the car to Bruce Larson (USA-1 funny car fame) in 1990, and it having been restored to original paint some time after that. Andsubsequently the cobra ahving been sold at two Mecum auctions.

Would anyone be able to verify that the CSX2271 sold to Bruce Larsen was indeed owned by Mike Gallagher of Manitowoc, WI.

This is only for personal gratification as this was my first experience with a cobra. It was a ride that I will never forget. It lit the fire in me for cobras.
