To All:

I had seen Cobras from High School (Grad 1965) College and military. It was in1992 that I walked by a garage in Walnut Creek, Ca. and the owner had his beautiful Shell Valley parked out front that I was really snake bit. After reviewing his car, he mentioned that there was another Cobra in the back of the garage he was storing for a friend that had relocated to Thailand ---- it was mostly completed and it was for sale. Bought it, finished it, loved it and now after selling the SV, built a Unique, bought and sold SPF343 and currently drive CSX 4264. I also have the FFR Daytona in the garage. Carroll Shelby has signed the dashboard on both of my cars and the cars have been a bright spot in my life.

On the personal side my wife of 23 years passed away tragically in 2003, Shelby American donated $500 in her memory to the American Cancer Society. This display of sympathy was over the top and I will forever be a fan of the cars, the man and the company.

This picture was at Sears Point in 2004.
