I remember many moons ago trying to track down this Concept Cobra to see if it could be purchased and then discovered it at auction. I always wondered who won the bid. Glad the car went to the right person. Congratulations Chris. There was a company down in Australia, DRB making a body kit of this car DRB 540 that was based on a Falcon. Ordering the book now, cant wait to read.
