Trevor. I appreciate your questions. When I reached that speed I had the top off and the wind was pulling my head all over the place. It was probably one of the stupidest things I've ever done in my life, but I was young and decided I needed to try to max out the car. What really got me to stop was that I noticed the
oil pressure gauge read zero. Slowing down was a trick too.
As for the buyer I sold to in NH, I can't remember. I've looked for the bill of sale but can't find it. If I ever do come across it I will let you know. I was storing the Cobra in a barn Hillsboro NH and I remember he lived south of there.
