Ed,

One of the three Cobras that was junked here was never safe enough to get registered. The guy that built it is like me and has no mechanical ability. So he salvaged the running gear and busted the body up and sold the rest to a salvage yard. Another one of them was wrecked but could have been repaired and the other was smashed when the guy and his wife got a divorce. It was a pretty nice one too, and I thought they could have sold it and split the money but he took a big sledge hammer to it and when he was finished it took three days to pick up all the splinters and pieces. And his remark was, "I guess I showed her." As for the rest that have vanished I have only managed to find out about one and it was sold to some person in Oregon. I am sure the rest were just sold but the people that owned them never show up at any of the meeting places any more and no one seems to know anything about them.

Ron
