Lynn Parks doesn't seem to mind. One of the issues of the great but short-lived "Cobras" magazine did a full color, two page spread of his garage. It may have even been turned into a poster. What an amazing collection. He has since sold his McCluskey Daytona, from what I hear, but he still owns at least a couple of 427s, one a VERY low mileage car with a rare factory hardtop and Sunburst wheels, the "remains" of the Bob Johnson Sebring FIA car (I say that in quotes because the car is generally reported to have been cut up and put in a dumpster after Johnson ran into an Alfa and wadded the car up; Parks' rebuild of whatever was left is the subject of some debate, but whatever the case it is a beautiful car), and a couple of other 289s including the blue/white stripe car he races frequently. A true enthusiast who is fortunate to have the ability to own several examples of our favorite little roadster...
