he is my cousin. i worked for him washing cars while in high school. he owned 2 289 cobras one Britch racing green the other was silver with red seats. i think that Ned still owns it. there was always some year of Shelby's on the lot to be washed. i wish i new how many i wash though the years. he is the one that took me a ride in in one of them i can't remember which one after that ride i told him i was going to own a cobra before i got married. so in 1975 i bought csx2148. though the years we have stayed close. he is in his 80s an me in the 70s
