Default CSX30601 headed for Texas

Gentlemen,

A friend of mine from Texas called me a couple days ago and asked me to go look at 30601 as he was purchasing it and wished to have somebody eyeball it before he flew out and I live in Scottsdale. I own Kirkham #KMP304 and am very proud of it. But when I walked into the garage and looked at that genuine guardsman blue AC Cobra it blew me away. I would trade my Kirkham in a heartbeat for that car. My Kirkham is very well-built but compared to 30601 my Kirkham is as crude and unfinished as a stone hammer. The 1960s COB and COX cars were finished at AC in England, never touched by Shelby American, but they are genuine Cobras. I consider this to be a genuine Cobra as well. A stunning car with a most interesting history. I was asleep at the switch when it came up for sale in my hometown. I wish it was mine but as that is not the case, I'm glad to see a friend of mine own it.

Chip
