I was at the Lime Rock Historics a few years ago and a gentleman had Sebring's 289, CSX 2220 there. I think he was surprised that I knew who had once owned the car. He had a Connecticut dealer plate on the rear and the original black/yellow California plate on the front. He was pleasant to talk with and let me sit in it for some pictures.

Thanks for all of your great contributions to the forum.

I live in Peabody Mass. which is next to the city of Lynn. I am fortunate to know a gentleman who was a mechanic at Grillo Ford and he has shared some very interesting memories with me. Shame on me I have not pinned him down to recored his recollections. This man is in his mid 70's so I need to get off my duff and do it.

He was kind enough to give me two of the four original dealer trunk tags that he still had. I shared photos of these tags with Pete several years ago but they never made it to his Al Grillo page...are you there Pete?...I can send you the pictures again

Great story!...keep that family chain going!

Well done sir!

A street 427 replica that actually resembles an original...so refreshing to see!

Is the car finished?...Do we know if it will appear at MCACN this November?

I've used Seafoam additive for years and never ran into an Ethanol problem.

Well good to know you're still interested in literature Vern, I left a note on my special literature binder for my wife to offer you my Cobra Caravan Press Kit if I were to kick over suddenly

Johnny from Boston

Hagerty customer for almost 20 years...thankfully no claims so nothing to complain about.

That's the flip top Cobra at the bottom of the photo

That's the Revs Institute @ Stanford University Pete

Men working wearing collared shirts and some with neckties... definitely won't see that again!

That is one happy winner!
Many wonderful, safe miles to you sir!

I know both the gentleman who owns #666 and also the other gentleman who owns the black '67 500 next to it.
Both are long time owners. #666 has been his since 1976 I believe and the other 500 has been owned since 1969.
The black car was originally Britany Blue and he paid like $650 bucks for it. Both cars also have parchment interiors.

Hope you have many more happy years and miles with it!
