Augie Pabst told me he raced a Cobra prepared by H &M maybe it was at Nassau. Pabst is famous for later racing a Scarab which I think he still owns (he still has a shop and campaigns in vintage racing). His family is the beer manufacturing family of the same name.
My question is--at this late date, almost five decades later, who sent the car over to H & M to prepare? Ford? Shelby? Not Pabst, I don't think he ever bought the car, he was just selected to be the driver. And I don't think Shelby would farm out a car to a rival. That makes me think Ford because they knew and trusted H & M and Shelby was a newbie to them at the time.

As far as the car in its present shape, I gather from the comments on the forum that this car would be worth a lot more if returned to original configuration which means rebodying, etc.? How much would that add--$100,000 for starters? It might not be worth it as you can never get
original enough for the real fanatics....who will pick apart any restorative effort you do.
