Thumbs up It's Baaaack!

Flew down to San Luis Obispo yesterday and picked up the Cobra. Had the clutch replaced, fly wheel shaved (it was burnt), starter replaced, shift linkage tweeked and a gas leak fixed. Along with putting the MSD on at Top of the Hill-the car runs great.!
The drive up the coast (227 miles) was perfect. Weather was mid-sixties--no rain--and no traffic. Three and one-half hours of driving and the car ran great!! It was gone three weeks--and I forgot the thrill of driving a big block on the road--more power than ya need, but always never enough. Stopped once for gas (ya, I only get about 8-10 MPG), and I had a couple of guys ooh and aah over the car for a few minutes--never get tired of that.

So, its back in the garage lookin' good a runnin' great!! See ya all for breakfast tomorrow--rain permiting.......

Hey Mark,

Great news.....all of these cars have their start up gremlins. Looks like you have killed off your share.

BTW Shelby american is bringing CSX4027 to breakfast the morning of 3/29 and then over to the Yacht club for dinner.

See you tomorrow,

Tony R.
