Cobra, did you have any luck with the Shelby Registry?

I did look around there a bit but then I tried the clubcobra site & someone there had pictures (then&now!) that they posted. The car still exists but is very mundane looking(and blue)with no hint of its past. I still would like to find some old mag articles on it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

I got an email from the owner who said he is going to restore it back to King Cobra status [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

and another one from the good ole days... If anyone knows of magazines with articles on this car could you please tell me what issue & month/year. I have a pretty big collection of old magazines but I really don't want to go tearing through them looking for one or two articles.
Thanks again.

Was there more than one car? Was there also a small block 289 car? The only reason I say this is the quote I lifted from one of the modeling websites mentioned two....
