The owner told me it was a Classic Roadster also, so I'm now confused. Its not above me to be incorrect when it comes to these Cobras. When I looked at the Cobra, the trophys were in the front of the car. The Cobra also had silver stripes. Did we look at the same Cobra? I think there was only 1 yellow Cobra there.

BBQCYCLEWERKES;
I could have been mistaken on the builder, since we were nearby the tent where the auctions were taken place (loud bidder), but I thought that he mentioned Mid-States to me (he also mentioned that he did not build the car)...he sure had a lot of trophies sitting in the passenger seat!!
I really wanted to hear what final price this car would bring in, and so I made it a point to stick around the main tent and wait to see what happened.
The final numbers were accurate on the screen - $70k. The reserve on the car by the owner was $62 or $62.5k, and when the bid went above this, the bidders were screaming all over the place that the reserve was met, the reserve was met.
