I was lucky enough to get a personal tour of the collection from Lynn himself.
He's such a neat guy. Stories with every car, including the ones that aren't his.
Found out which one was his favorite, most valuable, etc, as well as his most recent (non Shelby) Cobra.
If you don't have the connections, consider joining the local Cub Scouts

Yup, I'm an Eagle Scout and still stay active with many parts of the BSA.
That's actually how I first met him before I even got the Cobra.
A great guy.

It's so true that the guys with the replicas (like me) keep them clean and nice, and the real ones are often ratted up and raced. Every year I go to Laguna Seca for the historics, where my brother-in-law is a mechanic in the pits, and we see a ton of real ones up close. I think every one has the paint blasted off ahead of the rear wheel, and most have dents and rivets in odd spots to hold things together. Really cool.

As I have said on this site many times before...
You could line up 30 Cobras in a row and no two will look the same. Even originals! Lynn is right when he says many owners want to keep them "shiny", because that's the only one they (I) have.

Great clip.

I'm a Queen's Scout, my dad was a King's Scout, my daughter is a Queen's Scout. Reckon he'd give me a drive of ol' 97 if I popped over stateside sometime? Rodney, Bernica? Put in a good word for me?

Cool video!
What a staggering collection. You have to respect a guy who has made a lifetime "job" out of doing something he is genuinely passionate about.
