I see no problem with the history. The original owner, from WA, sold the car to a dealer in GA in 1978. He sold it to the owner from FL, Carl Windham.
The car wasn't 30 years in a trailer. Two people who were looking for a 289 Cobra in the mid 90's and placed "wanted - 289 Cobra" ads were contacted by Windham, claiming his name was Thagard. The car was in a garage in south Florida. Or maybe more than one, as the owner seemed to like to move it around, possibly for fear someone might steal it. Both potential buyers gave us the heads-up about the car, noting that it was tatty and had mouse droppings in the interior. For some people, "barn find" is often just another way of describing a car that has simply been neglected for a number of years.
