Early Christmas .... mid 60`s Cobra photos

[Bobcat]

Out walking my dog this afternoon between the rain-showers and as I walked by a neighbor`s house he asked me to wait as he had some things he wanted to know if I was interested in . I should add that he would stop by every now and then when I was building my ERA . He came out with a large envelope and said they were Cobra pictures etc inside .... and that he had always wanted a 289 car . Inside was a book ...Ford Cobra Guide by Bill Carroll , printed in 1974 ( sold for $2.95 ! ) , a May , 1986 Automobile magazine with an Autokraft Mk IV on the cover and a good writeup with pictures inside .... and LOTS of photos from 1965 to 1971 taken at Road Atlanta , the SCCA Nationals in Savannah and one other track . Most are 289 cars , but there are some pictures of Gram Shaw dated May 1-2 , 1965 in a 289 Cobra , Don Russel ( son of ex SC Governor ) in 427 Cobra and a HUGE ( 11 by 14 ) black and white of Gordon Meffert in his B/P 289 Cobra at speed at Road Atlanta in November 1971 . Plus many other smaller pictures of street Cobras at the track .
You never can tell when you might get lucky .... and looks like he will be getting as many rides as he wants when it gets warmer !
There is a Santa Clause !
