My Cobra for Sale...

[Clois Harlan]

I am glad David got to "Enjoy" the Cobra for a short time. I am sorry for your loss of David but your video tells a pretty good story of three brothers and a son. Keep the Cobra!

Clois,

Thanks for the kind words & thoughts. One part of me would love to keep the Cobra forever, yet there is now a larger part of me that knows that it is time to let it go so that I can move forward with my family and spend the precious little time we have together to make our own unique memories. My son is 13 and my daughter is 16, so they will out on their own soon. I am quite sure that at some point, probably very soon, my son & I will start a project together which will let us have many great expereinces and build many memories that I can treasure as life marches along.

I have found that by closing one door sometimes many more will open....

Daytona Coupe perhaps?

PS: I think you are in Tulsa? My in-laws are near Bentinville, AR - not far from Tulsa if my memory serves me correctly. I made 3 round trip drives there this summer @ 1600 miles per trip. Wanted to take the Cobra but still can figure out how to fit 4 people....

We are thankful that Dave got a small window to enjoy the car he started building in 1992. I wish we would have completed the Cobra a month or so sooner. He drove it for a few miles when we threw the body on it. I have a video he made of that - it is hilarious. Dave aspired to be a film maker but never got around to that. I have several more of his videos that are quite funny that I will upload and post link to....

Dave MAY have had the strength to push in the clutch and drive it a bit on the road trip, but we all know my brother, and none of us wanted to be a pasenger at 130 MPH in a CObra when driven by someone with almost no muscle control and reaction time that is best measured with a calendar! It was incredibly hard to tell him that he could not drive it when he asked, but none of us could risk our lives and affect our families by letting him drive, as I am 90% sure that we would have had a horrible accident!
