Alan owned this 289 Cobra for decades, started a restoration in 81, and gave up when his trusted mechanic died, and it's been sitting in storage since 1982. This might be the last barnfind Cobra
I take it from the way Tom talks about this car, that he's buying it/bought it
and from the clips in this video, some of the collection were the Ferrari and 427 Cobra, that made for several episodes of this series. Well, this sure happened to a nice guy who can certainly afford to treat these cars right, and has the best connections in the business to get these cars either restored, or made to run well, or sold off to the other good guys in the car enthusiast community. Thanks BDF!
Watched this yesterday, yes he partnered in the purchase. He was part of previous sales for the family, this was the last of the collection.
