Cal:
Quite right. Indeed, at that time we had only one car in our family until my sister purchased her Mustang. Most, basically had a single car so a special purpose vehicle was a true luxury. Next time I am down at Keating, I will inquire as to their old source. Sad part is, like many of the original Cobra Owners, the owners of Keating as well as the staff has totally changed, over these many years.

Cal, do you know of a book or collection of original owner recollections about their purchase and use of their Cobra? It has just dawned upon me that the guy who I saw test driving and then buying that Cobra in 1964/5 is probably now in his 90's. And most Cobra owners are at about 38 years older now. It would be a real great idea for a book to hunt down these original owners and interview them and get their stories down on paper. Has the SAAC done this to any extent in a published work?
