He modified the Cobra from its original livery and pretty much destroyed its value, but the guy was so wealthy he probably just didn't care. The fin on the Cobra was the 1st use of fiberglass by Chris Craft. Original 21 Cbras are worth well over $100,000!....Bill S

Guy's name was Jim "Street" Skonzakes and the car was the Golden Sahara.

He owned a local business security company, Radar Sentry I believe, and was into electronics. The car could be remote controlled to drive unattended and supposedly had on-board radar systems.
