-------Colin,,,Sorry to go a bit off-topic, but did that Cammer-Cobra have any Ft.Lauderdale history??? There was a converted Cammer in Ft.Lauderdale back in the early 70s.It was a dark color, maybe BRG back then. When it ran it really had some cojones, but the owner was always having small problems with it. Car is gorgeous by the way!!!!...........Bill S

Hi Bill,
Nope, not the same car. My car had the engine installed a little later - and was in Colorado all through the 70's. It was originally blue, then painted black around 1970 as far as I can tell. Later painted again by Bill Murray, then Mike McCluskey, two Cobra "heavies".

I met a guy in Monterey who saw the car on a dyno in the mid-80's, said at 580HP (rwhp) the tires started coming apart and hitting the body so they backed off. He is the guy that eventually bought it and sold it at B-J for $250k... a world record at the time.

Every Cobra has a good story, don't they?
