Two weeks away!

Easy fun track day right at Pocono! I'll be there, join up, smaller track, stretch your car's legs!

The trunk panel is indeed a clue.

Original cars had circular cut-outs, and the metal cups behind. Nothing here.

Great Milestone Bill! Hell yes, keep it as is!

Earl,

Thanks very much for the update. Answered many of our questions. And indeed a waste of a car. Probably explains why it's been sitting.

Back in the 1980's, I remember a Red 1986 Shelby at the Englishtown Car Show with changed VIN numbers. Can't remember exactly, but the vehicle ID part of the VIN was a High digit (70's or 80's ) Two digit number. No one wanted to tell her the car was questionable.

So, to get back on topic, has the O.P. given the VIN yet?

Some personal notes:

Saw both this morning, way to "fluffy" for any serious enthusiast. Way too much Craig speaking, interviews. I wanted to see much more technical on both, hear from more who worked with them back in the day, but really not there. I guess for your typical, star-struck newer enthusiast, good TV. I wanted real hard stuff.

On the Green Hornet, how much Shelby, how much Ford? I think that was blurred for TV.

But, nice to see, so kudos there.

Yes, the eagle eyes will notice the other two cars with Lil Red.

The History Channel shows Swamp People tonight.

It was first shown to the public at the 1962 NY auto show that ran April 13 to 21. The first article was in the 5/62 Sports Car Graphic.

Nothing previous in California?

Is there a day which is considered the official Birthday or Introduction day for the Cobra? As a comparison, the Mustang has April 17 as it's birthday.

Obviously the year is 1962.

Same thing happed to one of the Premier Drag Strips on the East Coast, Englishtown, NJ. Noise, rising real estate, Insurance & the cost of operation, the usual culprits. They still run some events on a small road course.

All is a go, let's beat last year's 70 car turn-out!

Who's coming?

Our oldest running club function returns! Started out as Cobras at Blockers in the late 1990's.

9Am to Noon, back as a cars & coffee format.
Cobras, Shelby's, Fords, Vipers, Ferrari's

At Denny Blocker's home on the mountain, spectacular location!
