My weekend @ Pacific Raceways in 1963 (@8yo I was part of the Shelby team) I wiped that car down, helped with the care & feeding though the weekend and was rewarded with a ride (@ speed) with the one & only "Mr. Ken Miles" in CSX2129. Over the years I've found 95% of the org. car owners, love to hear stories about their cars in their heyday. As Tony said he's asking questions a restorer of Cobras should already know, or have easy access to, if it was my car, I'd have concerns. Something doesn't smell right?? Buzz are you in BC or the WI? Call me if in BC, K? Brent (EM-0785) & I are thinking of doing another run of the badges (40min) We'd be up for 10-12 between us two. Cheers Tom.

Hey Tom - I'm still back and forth in limbo between here and Canada - currently on island for a month or two right now. Yep - the whole story is a bit strange but I guess it's possible that a car nut outside of the known Cobra community busted out the Amex black card and picked up a Cobra just because he's always wanted one and is now figuring out what to do (or not do) with it.
