Cobra memorabilia: What does your collection look like?

It is long out of print, printed by George Stauffer of Blue Mounds WI
had about 50 interviews, involvement of Pete Brock in writing it; hardbound, horizontal, many pictures, I think some were color. I bid $200 on one but heard they go for over $750 because of the desire vs. supply. But almost as good is Mike Schoen's book Cobra Ferrari Wars which covers the roadsters as well as the coupes. There's a new one on GT40s vs. Ferraris called something like "Goes Like Hell" by a Playboy editor (It's a wonder he could concentrate on cars) And don't forget (plug-plug) Cobra & Shelby Mustang Photo Archive from Iconografix.

You've probably seen this already, but some guy has a copy of the Cobra Daytona Coupe book from G. Stauffer for sale at Cobra Country for...get this...a mere $3,000 asking price (!!).

Hard to believe it hasn't sold yet.

Oh I see. You're collecting 1:1 scale cars. Man, you're gonna need lotsa storage space...
