Green original?

[rms427]

The car is csx 3225. The car is a street car. Originally had a 428 engine. Changed the color from Ivy Green to Tropic Green Firemist (1968 Cadillac color as I remember) in 1970. Repainted the car in my garage in 1980. Now has Trigo wheels, 427 S/O, Konis, front sway bar, hood scope and side exhaust.

Purchased the car in 1968 with 9,000 miles and used it as my everyday car for the next 4 years adding about 48,000 miles. Did some drag racing, slalom and rallying on weekends. Put 1,400 miles on the car during our honeymoon. Sat in storage for a number of years while I worked overseas. Now has about 77,000 miles.

Thank you Ray, for sharing you personal 'piece of Cobra history' with us.

It was a pleasure to meet you & I enjoyed your company & conversation during breakfast. Again Ray, I apologize for not remembering!
Your car is beautiful, I'm green with envy, or is that just green envy?

I look foreward to seeing you & your car again!

That's what I like about you Ray! Here you have an original, getting all this great use, stories, and enjoyment out of it throughout your life...knee broken switches and all. Maybe some of it will rub off on a few of these guys with replica trailer queens! Hahahahaha.

We missed you at WSCB '06, so bring that Green Machine back for '07, okay. Let the wife know we'll all be sure to have drinks before it gets too late this time around! DC
