Thanks for posting, interesting way to display a vehicle !
Any one recognize in the second photo, the fellow with what looks like a Cobra Team shirt, and a clear sleeve on his belt with
S.A.A.C. stuff in it ?

I went to the Arntz plant back in 77 . It was one year after we were married and drove from KC to CA from LA to SF ona belated honeymoon. While we were out there I had to stop at Mier Racing and Arntz. Arntz was one of the first Cobra kit car companies. They did the most ADV back in the day.

Cheap horsepower. If I remember Arntz was the first kit Cobra. It went out of business after he was sued by his girlfriend's parents. She was killed in a crash of one. When I was at Petersen's Kit Car we did a Cobra Buyers Guide. There were 52 companies producing Cobra's at that time. Ford & CS launched a law suit re: Cobra name/shape and court decided they hadn't protected the copyright. For some reason that decision got set aside. https://www.cobracountry.com/the-curtain-falls/ http://www.erareplicas.com/history/lawsuit/index.htm
