1964 Shelby Cobra factory race car up for sale at Amelia Island

AutoBlog: 1964 Shelby Cobra factory race car up for sale at Amelia Island

1964 Shelby Cobra CSX2557Last month RM Auctions offered up the 427 Cobra prototype at its annual auction in Phoenix, and although it failed to meet reserve price, the final bid of nearly $1.5 million signified the importance of the car. Fortunately for car collectors who still want to add a notable Shelby to their garage will have the chance at RM's auction next month.

A 1964 Shelby Cobra, chassis CSX2557, will be crossing the block during the sale coinciding with the Amelia Island Concours on March 13. You can read more about the history of CSX2557 and the other Cobra racecars after the jump..

Idaho Legislative Update Re: New Emissions Testing Statue

Friday, January 22, 2010

Did you know.. ? This is good news for all our Cobra fans. -Gear 6

Idaho Statesman: Ada County drivers get a break: fewer emissions tests
While the state prepares to force testing on Canyon motorists, Ada adopts a new policy.
-Idaho Statesman | Published: 12/18/09

The Ada County Air Quality Board's new rules start Jan. 1, 2010:

• Tests will be required every other year - even-model-year vehicles in even years, odd-model-year cars in odd years.

• New vehicles will be exempted for their first four years.

• Vehicles built before 1981 and hybrids will be exempted.

• The maximum test fee will be $20.

But if you just got your postcard or have been putting off a test already due, you'll still be expected to comply with the old rules.

The changes are based on those proposed by the Treasure Valley Air Quality Council and approved by the Idaho Legislature.

Snake N' Eggs Brunch at Trudy's | Idaho City | Oct 11, 2009

Yes, it may have been cold.. but those who braved it out for the Club's last long-distance event of the season were greeted with beautiful sunny Idaho city weather (with snow in those mountains), including a visit with Trudy herself.

Our Camaro member (Bob) also treated Ms. Trudy to a spin in his '67 Camaro.. we understand they only did the speed limit (uh huh) but we'll never tell. LOL!

Thanks everybody for a wonderful time!
