Hello, my Cobra is on the way!
Hello all, I've been following the Forum for 4 years trying to learn more about Cobras. I first sat in one in a showroom in NY in 1965 when I was a high school senior and have always remembered how awesome I thought it was. Well, after retiring from a long career with FAA and armed with a lot of knowledge gained from this site and some local friends with Cobras, I bought SPF 2660 with a Southern Automotive 406FE and a TKO-600. It only has 1100 miles on it and seems like a really well built car. The assembly looked to be top notch! Anyway, I just got a call from the transport company that it's enroute scheduled for a Friday delivery! Needless to say I'm really excited, guess the wife gets to claim the C5 Corvette as "hers" now!
I plan to continue to learn from the Forum and hopefully meet some of the folks. I attended London last year as an "observer" although I had a great 8 hour Cobra ride getting there with Dwight from Florence, AL. Unfortunately I have another commitment this year, but there will be other events I hope.
BTW, my SPF is white with blue stripes, the same color I am remembering the one I sat in in 1965 to have been! I know it was white, just can't swear to the color of the stripes back then!
