I love that book.:3DSMILE:

Have you seen the one that Friedman did with Dick Guldstrand? It's about Corvettes, but has lots of good stuff showing competitors including some Cobras.

Steve,
No, I haven't seen the one about the Corvettes. Our only bookstore that really had anything or could order it went out of business so I have to browse on the net now to look at books. It seems everything around here has gone out of business except a couple of the larger parts places and they have cut back on inventory. Ron :( |
Ron,
I'm pretty sure that this Cobra was "rebuilt" many years later, supposedly with pieces of the scrap removed from the Shelby dumpster by some employee... The Friedman book on Corvettes that I have is on the Grand Sport Corvettes. |
You may be correct about it being rebuilt. I heard back then that they destroyed the vin numbers so nothing could be reused. I was down there at the time and now I wish I had gone over and looked at it. Heck, I could have probably bought the whole pile for almost nothing.
Ron :o |
The book is called Corvette Thunder, and is available from Dick Guldstrands web site. Friedman and Guldstrand signed a lot of them, but I also know that they don't update the website a lot.
http://www.corvettethunder.com/ There is also another one about the L88 racing Corvettes with lots of great race photos. http://www.corvetteracinglegends.com/ Both are worth checking out. Steve |
