Fascinating story and interesting that this Cobra sold new at Universal Ford here in Richmond.
My uncle, who was an aeronautical engineer at NASA (Langley Research Center, Hampton VA) from '57 until '88 was a big British sports car fan and drove to Richmond and test drove a new 289 Cobra.
He felt it was a bit "hairy" for him and settled on an MG, which he still had at the time of his passing in 2012.
Wonder how many 289 Cobras were sold new in Richmond?
