That's a nice find. But that's not the one being raffled off. The VIN tag was already cut out of the one being raffled. Just how many Cobras have been lost?

It turns out my guys had some spare time. So they went to the quarry with the 400 ton crane. It turns out you don't need a 400 ton crane to lift a Cobra. But they got an idea to cut the stone around and under the quarry and turn it into a stone bucket. They lifted the entire quarry and turned it over like a bucket. JACKPOT! Here's what they found:

The real original Easyrider chopper
The missing 1956 Chrysler Norsemen
James Dean's 1955 Porsche
The 1955 Lincoln Futura
James Bond's 1955 Aston Martin
and of course, the Cobra with the missing VIN tag.

We haven't figured out what to do with them. The cold water left them in terrific shape. We'll let you know as this progresses. For more information on these legendary cars:

Here is the "Cobra" VIN tag the OP sent me




Clearly, the guys you sent in to the water found some truly amazing cars at the bottom, but failed to find the Cobra I dragged out before they got there . Perhaps they found a "Ace" , you know they all look the same.

Wow! That's amazing! You can't dispute evidence like that. So there was more than one Cobra in the quarry. Nice work.
