Actually, I was just trying to read the old thread and it wouldn't show me the 2nd and 3rd pages, so I added a posting and it came up for me so I could then read the rest of the thread.
However, there IS an update.
Tom Cotter and I have just purchased the car. The owner offered it to us last year, and we declined, mainly, on my part, because of what I thought was a conflict of interest on my part, since I was the one helping value it.
However, after almost a year, Tom and I have just about finished our CSX 2149 project, and having failed to find another original 289 Cobra that needed our help, we decided to find something else, so I called the owner a couple of weeks ago to see what ever happened with the car. They had just sent ads out to sell it but it hadn't been sold, so Tom and I bought it. It resides in my garage currently, and all my children want it. They like it much better than the Cobras--"it's really COOL!"
So I am looking for advice on fixing the "wrong" things and missing parts and advice on where to get parts and photos, articles and books that will help in the restoration. For instance, anyone out there know a good steering wheel restoration shop, or am I better off buying a new one?
