In the early 1970s, when Drew Serb was gravitating to Cobras, project cars fascinated him. He was not afraid to tackle cars that had been severely damaged or which others might consider written off. Buying a car like this, restoring it and then selling it provided money to buy others. Over the years he not only gained experience in Cobra repairs but amassed the kind of spare parts inventory that other owners dream about.

One of the aspects of the Cobra world that he slowly realized was that as the values of the cars went up, more and more of them were taken out of the public eye. A lot went in private collections. Unless the next generation of Cobra enthusiasts were able to see actual cars they would gradually lose interest in them. That was when he decided he would create a Cobra museum.

The museum is open the third Sunday of each month from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
