1963 289 Cobra

 

 

We never owned this car. The Cobra was owned by Clymore Ford, Newhall, California. It had been stolen from the dealer and later found with the hood, trunk lid and other body parts sliced up. The dealer had it repaired and it was placed on sale again. My mother was friends with the owner and we purchase several vehicles from them. We let him borrow our Jaguar for a weekend and in return he lent us this car. We took it to one of our Jaguar Club events in Palm Springs. It was a blustery day and we about froze since it did not have a heater or a top.
