I went to a race at the Santa Barbara Airport in the summer of 1965 (I was 14) and as I walked around I saw a light yellow 289 Cobra just sitting on grass. I thought it cost about $6k. It must have been a roadster because I don't recall any side pipes. My Dad bought a '66 Mustang Fastback in October of 1965 for $2,850. While I remember the Cobra, I didn't think I would ever be able to actually buy one. I still can't believe it.
