Where I'm coming from:

So some of you know Roger (aka: Professor Cranky) from the numerous HP driving events he has attended.....What some of you might not know is that his awesome race modified Contemporary Cobra has just been put on the market...Sure it's rough around the edges and has been tracked for a large majority of it's life, but where else can you get a car with such history....affectionately known in our little circle of track warriors as "The Track Turd" and it fits as it is not a show car, at one time it was, but not any longer.

Where I'm going with this:

Most of you have now read this far and thought I'm making a sales pitch for Roger's car, well, yes and no, in this case my window of opportunity to purchase this car hinges on my selling my unpainted and fully streetable (titled no less) FFR MK II. Have had a few bites, but only one person to actually come and see it (who's wife shot him down as he already has some rather large project cars as yet unfinished).....Is it the shake up of the stock market? Is it the world economy? Is it that fact it is not already painted blue with white stripes :lol: ?

What I am asking for from the cobra community:

As we all know, it's that 6th degree of separation thing that I'm looking at. Put the word out to friends who are looking, put the word out on other forums, put the word out to your local clubs that my fully sorted car is up for sale at a price "too good to be true"......Help me save Rogers car from being taken back to 100% street trim by someone who only wants to look the part....Help me sell mine so I can buy his track car and give it the continued thrashing it deserves before it's too late and ends up like Don D's old fire breathing 427 powered track car (someones garage trophy, sitting collecting dust in the corner of a garage, never to see the pavement of a track ever again).............Funds are tight, so I cannot promise you a finders fee, but I can promise to continue to help out whenever I can for those that I come across needing it.............


That is it, thanks in advance.....


Yours in racing Fords,



Bill S.
