The Lincoln was likely a 67 convert. It was allegedly the "last' Lincoln convertible produced and was part of the settlement for Ford's purchase of the "Cobra" name. A Lincoln convert and one dollar, US, American greenback currency bought the trademark.

Bob: Welcome! sir! We would certainly welcome you historical knowledge, wisdom and info.
BTW: Can you spare any old parts???? Would love to consult with you on CSX 4206.
Evan Harris aka Real 1. Live in central NJ.
Tony: I said I wouldn't spend $500,000.00 on a continuation series Cobra at this time. Who knows, in the future that may be the going number.

Probably why the guy wanted to stay in hiding, so he would not get hounded about people asking for parts...let him take his shoes off first and relax a bit...

I was just thinking..."You know, seems like everyone has a "stash" these days. I want a "stash" too!"

Bill, I think you're in the wrong room. You want Room 109 down the hall, where the "Flipper's Anonymous" meeting is being held. |

I have spoken at length with Bob. He is legit. He knows more things about original Cobras and their history than about anyone I have ever spoken to. Some of his stories on the early history are pretty cool. I'll let Bob tell them.
