Default On the other hand, now...

In contrast (and to show I've always been rooting for Michael), on pages 107/108 of INSIDE SHELBY AMERICAN, author John Morton describes an interaction with Cunningham on the fateful day at Willow Springs as follows:
Quote:
I happened to be standing beside the cobra driver, Paul Cunningham. I asked him about his car and told him I worked at Shelby's. He said Monday he was going to take the car to Doane Spencer and have a number of improvements made. ... It's morbid, but when Paul said, "I'm going to take my car to Doane Spencer on Monday", I couldn't help but think You cant be sure you'll be alive on Monday
While non-conclusive and only reflective of what the author believed at the time, it does give the impression that the Cobra indeed belonged to Cunningham.
