This photo was on the old forum, the '68 in the front, Cobra, Boss 9, and others in the back ground, not sure if they were all his ?

Yes all cars in pic were his. Car on the left is the one on the trailer, CSX3201 in the middle, KK1660 on the right (which I now own). I think it's the blue KR & 66 Hertz in the background

He towed the Cobra to SAAC convention in LA with same KR. Late 70's early 80's?

The ultimate enthusiast he was!!!

CSX 3183

That would have been 1983 LA

I remember years ago seeing in a magazine a 67-8 Shelby (Don't recall the year), pulling a racecar to the local circle track.  I'm going to see if I can find it on the web.
