Hey Guys, After attending car show in Laughlin, Nev. last weekend I was driving back to Lake Havasu City, AZ where I live and stopped off for a little gas. Now this station was sort of in the middle of nowhere. Suddely a guy came up and wanted to discuss heating problems with his own cobra, wanting to know what if any trouble I had with my cobra overheating. After a long discussion he happily jumped into his truck and left.
Next, another older gentleman (my age) came over and said he use to work for Carrol Shelby as a bodyman and painter. He just loved the car and couldn't stop talking about all his great memories back in the day. He did tell me that back then you could buy a 289 version for $5900.00 and a 427FE sideoiler for $10000.00

Anyway it took me 20 minutes to buy 10 gallons of gas because of all the interest in these cars. Wow! what fun.
