Who in the valley has 5 Cobras?
We're having some work done on the house today and the salesman showed up to do his thing. He saw my Cobra and said "a neighbor of my wife's mother has 5 of them including a couple originals and one that is all chrome including the body".
Sounded like a story to me but I thought I'd post and see if anybody has heard of this before.

I'll bet the chances of them being stolen just got better.

Bennette Dorance has two or three. Harley Cluxton has a couple. Craig Jackson has one. Mike Schoen (sp) has/had a few. I would guess he's talking about Mike Schoen, the U-Haul guy.

Mike's (U-haul) are in Co. on display at the Shebly museum. He sold them (CSX2002/2345/3002) off and I hauled them up there for the new owners about 5 or so years ago. Harley sold his shop to the Walmart boys but that is most likely the airpark cars you are talking about.

No. These are not my people,  these are Polo/America's Cup people  and they are not here that often.
Dave, the coupes that are in Arizona are both in the Airpark.. One is owned by Walton, the other by Bernie Carl, the attorney. The other 4 are not in AZ. There is a McKluskey Coupe on an original 289 chassis in Vegas with Mr.Shelby. A good re-creation I might add...
My friend Phil who has worked on both coupes and a real S/C that is in town (as well as installing all that stuff in my Mustang) informs me that there may be 5 Cobras on Bethany Home but that the person he knows there would have cars in need of "restoration" ie rough...
Honestly, most of the real cars will disappear from sight in the not too distant future. They are difficult to insure and most owners do not want people to know what they have or where it is garaged. Theft is a major problem... If you get to Boulder on a Saturday, you need to go to the museum. It is pretty incredible and it gives you a feeling of awe if you were a car nut when you were a kid and saw these things on Wide World of Sports telecasts.. That is really the only place to see the cars close up. I have been to SAAC and Monterey too, but the milestone cars are mostly in Boulder.

5 Cobras
I have seen the chrome cobra twice in the valley. Both times it was in around the Scottsdale Airpark. Seemed a bit strange...all chrome.

There are two of the original coupes less than a mile from my house. I have seen both.. check my gallery, that is one of them... there are a lot of hangars at the airport, can-am constructors is housed in one and they have some nifty neighbours...
