Looked at the AACA Magazine article again on CSX 2254. The current owner wrote the article and identifies himself as " by William Bartels " , and the Cobra " resides in my private museum" Photos were taken by West Peterson.
Bartels comment: " I purchased the car from a private collector in April 2004. It's odometer shows 5,800 miles, which I believe to be the correct mileage on the car. I have shown it only twice, at the 2005 AACA Central Spring Meet in Warren Ohio where it was awarded First Junior and the 2005 Glenmoor Gathering where it also won an award. " |
...wouldn't be the first time some of us groupies know more about an original car than the current owner does... :p

Actually I think it was the car used in the scene where he runs off the road into the pond. |
If you look closely at the 'Elvis' photo, that is a 427 Cobra he's standing next to. But, the rest of the photos show some sort of 'kit' car (no pun intended).

I worked the Russo & Steele Auction for ESPN2 two years ago in Monterey. This crossed and was a "no sale" at $850,000.

CT Dragway closed about thirty years ago. All the speedways around here are gone with the exception of Stafford, Waterford and Thompson. It was a nice place to grow up, but now it's about the most expensive place to live in the US.
