I’m about 90% done but have not messed with it for a long while. It’s sitting on the top of my lift and I have not touched just have not had a bit of time to get it finished. Just need a few bits of wrenching and testing.

Don’t know if others are making to Monterey, this will be the first year that I don’t make in a long time.

Have not heard much from Matt either, last I talked with him I think he was back in Michigan with his dad working on the Contessa Car. It’s a bit odd looking, he really should have focused on just the cobra I think.

I think the last time I was up in Monterey after I picked up the car was when I saw Matt, wow been a few years now that I think of it…

One thing that I do think about is that the car is over powered ;) I have a 468 Aluminum block with just at 701hp and after running my 65 fastback at the track (on and off I guess is a better way to put it), have over some amount has no gains. My mustang has about 560hp out of a 331 and almost can’t imagine what the Cobra would be like!

Keep in touch, let me know when you get it running, will motivate me!

Sandy

My old VSE project cobra is 99.5% done… painted, wired etc… just an oil cooler away from firing up (BBC Lingenfelter 502/ Trenec 5 speed). Very close, labor of love. I should up-load current photo’s to Chuch’s site. Will be at Historics this August. will any other VSE fans be there? Hope so. Mark Dorman

Thanks! Bob and his Subgenius were something a college roomate turned me onto about the same period as well.

The 968 is an interesting car, didn’t know too much about it other then the evolution of the 944′s. Looked online and you could be right on, not a lot here in the states so could definitly be something for the investment cars.

Big fan of you, Adam and the casts. Also, am a car nut and 20 year-plus Subgenius – Hail “Bob!”

Wanted to nominate my car as affordable collectible: ’94 Porsche 968. Sees a lot of track time at Watkins Glen and Lime Rock in the summers here in upstate NY.

Anyway, just a quick fan letter!

best,

Bill

I work with powder coatings all the time and I am familiar with many hazardous material surrounding the application of industrial coatings. I would have filed the gasket remover tip away for future use without ever looking at its contents.

Walk around, check out some cars and enjoy some Bob’s food ;) . They are a good business that gives back with donations as well as the new solar power they just put up. And it’s still a fun pace to go even when crowded!
