Great thread, cbrown and 68gtcoupe thanks for the story behind the purchase of the Cobra !
Not a Shelby, but much the same,
Reminds me of Canadian rocker Rompin' Ronnie Hawkins going into a dealer in 1967 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and looking at a
Rolls Royce. The salesman blew him off, so he went to the bank drew out $18,500 Canadian put it in a bag returned to the dealer
and dumped the money on the floor, and drove away in the car. The part I like is he asked the manager what the salesman's
commission would be, $1,500, took that money out of the bag and bought the car
Gordon Lightfoot, another Canadian singer, wrote a song about it called "Silver Cloud Talk'n Blues"
