Slab side in a parking lot
Saturday while attending the All Ford Car Show sponsored by The Rocket City Mustang Club I saw a slab side Cobra sitting in the parking lot next to the show. Four or five years ago while I was attending the same show I saw a black Cobra with a lot of miles on it, sitting about the same place, I did not have my camera with me that time. But this time I did, so I took 30 pictures of CSX 2310. I don't think this is the same Cobra that I saw a few years back, but both are owned by the same guy. Dan has two CSX Cobras. I'll try to post two picture here.
They are posted in the North Alabama Cobra Club gallery. enjoy Dwight http://clubcobra.com/forums/picture....pictureid=3237 http://clubcobra.com/forums/picture....pictureid=3236 |

Yesterday was perfect for a roadster ride, looked at some cars old (really liked the 1966 Mustang that was silver with red interior and the original owner September 1964 Mustang) and new, talked to people from decades ago, got lunch at Sonic in a roadster, and then drove some more………. Dan |
Dan, thanks for bring your Cobra to the show. We enjoyed looking at it.

"Dan Case
1964 Cobra owner since 1983, Cobra crazy since I saw my first one in the mid 1960s in Huntsville, AL. " I, too, saw my first Cobra in Huntsville in the mid 1960s. I worked at Redstone Arsenal and drove to work through what must have been the SE gate every morning. About once a week, I'd hear the siren call of side pipes and look around to see a Cobra cruising to work in the same clump of traffic. After I saw it the first time, I looked for it every morning. ... Great memories. |

I sold a few guns to buy my Cobra kit. I sold one to Bill Collins in Huntsville. He ask me why I was selling the gun and I told him I was going to buy a kit. He told me he had bought a real Cobra for $5200 and sold it for $15,000 a few years later. He thought he had made a lot of money till he found out it was worth $30,000. I don't remember if he told me anything about the car. Do you know him? He still lives in Huntsvile. I'll contact him and get the details of the car. Dwight |
Dwight, that name doesn't ring any bells. A man that had a shop in downtown Huntsville told me, right after I had missed them both, he bought two Cobras in sorry cosmetic condition of the back row of a used car lot across from the Hick Building, cleaned them up some and sold them for $500 profit and he actually felt bad about making that much on a couple of used cars until Cobras hit $20,000 in Hemmings.....................
I heard of one car off a used car lot in Huntsville with about an inch of plastic filler all over it no one wanted to buy. I have been playing tag with an ex-427 Cobra owner in Hunstville for decades and my wife talked with him at the fall Woody Anderson event but didn't get his contact information. Same event a man told us about the Cobra he had that he street raced in Huntsville but costs to keep it up and insurance made him decide to sell....he said in hind sight selling was a bad idea. Those were the days, Shelby Mustangs out of the paper for $1,500 and Cobras about double that. My dad didn't see any use in such cars...... Talking to early owners pays off sometimes. One ex-owner in Huntsville let me get all his left overs except the pictures and movies of him racing his Cobra. |
old Cobra history
I received this email from Bill, a guy I sold a M-16 so I could buy a Cobra kit.
I had to sell four machine guns to start with my build. The four machine gun in today market are worth about $75,000. :eek: Dwight HTML Code:
Still got the M16, wish I had the Cobra but it would only run on 106 Octane |
