it wasn't shelby's $$$ that started the cobra to be produced it was a guy by the name of ed hugus that bank rolled the project at ford's request. for this ed hugus was to be the east coast assembler / distributor. if you look at the registry you can see that the first few cars were delivered to hugus' penn. dealership for assmbly, shelby had niether the facilities nor the man power (or the $$$) to get the project rolling at the time. just for the records.............
