1st Cobra birthplace
 
I was near LA, so I stopped at Moon Eyes, Santa Fe Springs, CA to see where the first Cobra was assembled. In Feb 1962,Carroll Shelby used Dean Moon's Speed Shop to first join the AC built chassis with the 260 V8. They are still manufacturing parts using the original machines there. They have a small glass display case with some Cobra items, trophies, etc. It was like a time warp back to the 60's. Jim

Is that your double-roll bar Cobra in the foreground?

Yes, that's my car in the 2nd photo. I got to drive there just before the rain storms started on the west coast.
