Hello, You are in the Collegeville area? I'm from Collegeville too, my mom lives across from the playground/baseball field on the 3rd base side. There were a lot of shelbys & cobra in & out of that place over the years. This foto is in the driveway at Park Ave. Collegeville, it looked like this often.

No, mine is not for sale. Why would I sell it? It owes me nothing.
When I quit Philadelphia Country Club, it was like getting a free Cobra

There are also a couple of guys with ERA FIA cars in the Pottstown area. I'm surprised that they have not replied yet.

I'm in Chester Springs, just south of the intersection of 23 and 100. My Kirkham should be here in a few weeks. Sounds like we will have a Cobra armada!

Default Hey, where are you?

I saw a blue cobra drive by my house last night a about 830, looks like a new car to the area. At the end of township line rd. at limerick rd.
Was that you?

I just noticed the photobucket link, that looks like the Cobra that went by my house last night.
Look for the 24' white car trailer or the 427 Cobra in the driveway and pull in to say hello.

later, karl
