My quest began 42 years ago when I was 12 years old. I remember sitting in my friend's basement doing nothing but reading every magazine we could get our hands on about Carroll Shelby and his Cobra. I was snake bitten that very day, the passion wavered over the years but it never left me. I was very fortunate that in the summer of 2010 I had the opportunity of driving 2 very nice SPF's each of them had the Roush 427. One of the cars has the fuel injection version. These rides stirred up my passion and desire once again. My quest officially started. Through the help of fellow member Brian Sundue a vehicle was located. Through many pictures, emails, phone calls and almost 9 months in time. It was time for me to fly out and see it. It was everything I had imagined, it was stunning I couldn't help but smile. We talked about the car for a while then we went for a road test. It was amazing! I was on cloud 9 for sure. We finished the deal and before I left I called the transport company to come and pick up my new prize. Almost 2 agonizing weeks later my SPF arrived in front of my driveway. There was a small crowd gathered around the truck. Everyone had a camera in hand each of us taking pictures. The Cobra went straight into my garage (no license plates) I found myself opening up the garage and looking at it, pinching myself saying to myself "I own a Cobra" "I own a Cobra" My SPF has been licensed for only 2 weeks at this time of writing. I have put on almost 500 miles and I'm still smiling!! The car is nothing short of spectacular.
