Cars you DID NOT BUY.

[olredalert]

----I feel the need to tell y'all about another one. My cousin, Dave (3 years older than me) decided he was buying an original 427 Cobra. He looked for awhile and found one in Indiana that was a raced car owned by a guy named Gene Cormany out of "Competition Press" (for-runner to Autoweek), and he bought it for $4500 with tons of spares. He was too cheap to rebuild the engine correctly so while it ran awesome, it only ran sporadically. That was in 68/69, and then he chipped a tooth in the Salsbury rear and gave up. He called me and offered it to me with all the same spares (3 sets of wheels and tires for starters) for the same price he paid for it. I begged every relative I had for that $4500 and they were all too smart to give it to me. I don't blame them either. Id have probably killed myself.
----Later, I found out the serial# was 3003, the third 427 ever built and an R car from new. Whats the car worth today, you ask? Probably around $8,000,000 give or take. Yup! That one hurt......Bill S
