Good perspective on how the focus over time has changed from "How fast does it go?" to "How much is it worth?" Buying a Cobra in the early '70s as Ned did was a bit of a risk. $10k was still a lot of money when you could buy a house for $50k And leaded gas with high octane had so disappeared to make us wonder if you would even be able to drive a car like a Cobra ever again. Great story about Ned's dedication to the marque.
