One thing though, did you tell your dad you were "buying a Ford" with the intent on buying the Cobra? How did he get the idea it was a Mustang?
Thought that part was pretty interesting!;)

Surely I would not have intentionally misled him, would I? :eek:

Don't discount yourself like that!
You are the Gatekeeper for most of us and all well deserved.
Hey, you should go on Dancing with The Stars now!:)

A very nice article and well-deserved for roughly 40 years of work. Thank you to both Ned and Rick. And thank you to A-Snake for posting it here for everyone to read.

And a very nice compliment to Kirkham Motorsport too. Cool. :)

Of course not, there was some confusion at the time as to what you call them ;)

Well, Ford did offer a 1972 Mustang 351 Cobra Jet, didn't they? I could see some confusion going on there. :LOL:

The Cobra Mustang II?

A well deserved testimonial to one of the original Cobra stalwarts. Having known Ned in his (relative) youth, I can a assure you all that he was even handsomer in the 1970s. BTW, thank you for mentioning my name in your write up, even if you spelled it wrong.

Marcocsx3121 ; Have the best of both sides of the Force, buy a Kirkham and put a GM L-S motor in it!! Boom you are a Dark Lord of the Sith but you carry a white light saber.

WTF is a "Kirkman"?

Ned,

That is a very nice article and you really deserve the credit for what you have did and are doing. I have bought the last two registries and I refer to them as the final authority on Cobras. Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication that makes it much easier for us to sort fact from fiction.

Ron

Nedsel 11-01-2015 02:12 PM
Thanks, guys. And Mark, I didn't misspell your name - Rick did!

Bernica 11-01-2015 07:00 PM
Hey Ned....
When do we all submit our updated info for next Cobra Registry?

Nedsel 11-01-2015 10:45 PM
That question is still being discussed. Next registry may well be digital only - details yet uncertain.

Do you mean the registry that will contain only originals?

Timing was perfect on article. After 50 or so pages and some not to flattering on recent thread, which I was glad to see closed, a thank you to Ned was in order. Lots of hard work and is enjoyed by all. Thanks to all the registers for their hard work I just renewed to SAAC for two more years. I enjoy all that they have to offer. IMO I don't see them excluding the current cobras, that would be like Shelby suing SAAC, which was like kicking your most devoted followers. You have to admit the owners of current cars have a lot of passion, which is in its self is not a bad thing.

Congratulations Ned! That is a Fantastic article!!! :)

Congratulations Ned on a fantastic article! And adding to what rodneym mentioned earlier, Ned was also instrumental in advising me on the purchase of a couple 3000 series cars a few years ago. I can say firsthand that the availability of the Cobra Registry combined with the tenacity, approachability, and honesty of Mr. Ned Scudder allows for freshmen Cobra collectors like myself to enter the fray with a much greater level of confidence. This has and will no doubt continue to benefit the collectability of Cobras. Because my tastes span across a few different collector car markets I can also say firsthand what a unique and valuable resource he really is. Kudos Ned!

I guess a question is who will Ned pass the torch to some day? Not for a long time from now I hope!
Ned...do you have an apprentice in training?

Hail Ned.............
