: In 1967, my dad and I walked into the MG dealer (also Shelby) in
: White Plains, NY.
: He was looking for an MGB-GT and started negotiating (price was
: $3,500).
: As I was just getting old enought to drive in a couple years, I
: wondered around the small shrowroom, and there it was, a 1967
: 289 Shelby Cobra and for $5,500. Long story short, could not
: convince Dad, soft vs hard top, and $2K was huge.
: Alas, I still think of that day, 50+ years later, to think in 1973,
: I would be handed down a Shelby !!
