Howdy club cobra.
Howdy from Tennessee! I joined your club based on some research I was doing on my first/greatest mentor. His name was Carter Gette. In my studies, it seems like there's a lot of interest in the man, and his machines! I've also seen some false information on the man. Carter was a fantastic man, and the biggest influence in who I would become in my professional life. The Cobra 427 sohc? I rode in that car, and to this day it is the bar by which I measure a fast car! If you have any questions about the man, and some of his creations. I would be happy to share what I know. He was a character! Happy to join your club. Thanks.

Mr Kopek' story is a good one. That Ford dealership in that story was my grandfather's dealership. The Cammer? Unfreakinbelievable. The car had brutal power. He did the conversion. He loved that car. He used to joke about having himself "bronzed" when he died and put in that car!
