I dropped by the show at Lobster Pound today around 12:00. Had my Hi-Tech but wasn't planning to enter the show because I had an earlier commitment. But then I saw Ron's CSX, Art's green F5, John's SPF, another F5, and Sage showed up with his ERA.
Pretty nice bunch of Cobras (particularly the red ones
) so I decided to stay. Got to do a close comparison with Ron's car, which was my first chance to see a CSX car up close. His is a beauty. The Hi-Tech compares very well, and depending how you look at it, might be a better buy...at least it was for me...it's very cool to be able to say you have an original Shelby, but it comes at a price that I couldn't afford.
I did envy some of the details on his car that need a bit more work on mine. He has hex-head bolts on the gas cap frame, round bases on the hood latches, fuel pumps in the trunk, a puke tank, ferrules for side curtains, and original mag Halibrands.
I can feel Nick smiling when he reads this.
Anyway, it was a pleasant surprise to see everyone and a fun couple of hours.
