Candlestick Park, Phil Hill in 427 Cobra
foudnd a picture on the net of a 427 Cobra, probably dark blue
with white stripes, Phil Hill at the wheel, at a race in Candlestick park which is as I recall a city park in SF. The story said that there was two fatal accidents in the race which ended racing there, and that the Cobra DNF'd but I was wondering, up 'til now I assumed there was little factory support for Cobra 427 roadsters in the '65 season, other than the time Miles took a 427 roadster to Australia (where it DNF'd). Maybe this is not a factory car though it has the livery of the factory '65 race cars. The picture has a name painted on the right rear
something MOTORS but it's so fuzzy in thepicture I can't read it. Maybe Shelby's own dealership (Hi-Performance Motors) but that would be too long a namefor what's on the car. Anybody remember that race more than 4 decades ago?
