I almost purchased 2291 in 1969. It was already red with white stripes and in race trim before Bill Jackson purchased it. The car had just been refurbished. The price was $5,000 from a friend in the original cobra club. As I remember he used the money to go to Europe. I had decided to purchase the car for my wife. Then, Bill who had a GT350 decided he wanted it. I backed out since I already had my 427. However, if Bill wouldn't have bought it me and my wife would have.
