Yes Terry, The '66 427 Shelby Dragonsnake Cobra was ordered and owned by now closed, Harr Ford in New England (Worcester, Ma.) Harr also held a authorized Shelby franchise. Car was maintained and driven by the late Gus Zuidema, former preformance service manager at Harr. Zuidema, a top-notch machinist and engine builder won 1966 Pomona Winternationals event and 1966 Summernationals event at Indy, along w/many A/SP and Street Eliminator wins up and down the eastern seaboard for the 1966 race season. The car was campaigned by Harr for only the 1966 NHRA season. If you do the search mentioned in my 1st post in this thread, you'll get all the details of this car and its complete history.....there's also large feature story: "Venomous Snake" in Nov. '04 issue of Hemmings' "Muscle Machines" which is also accessible online if you simply type it into a search. It's worth the search....very informative reading about the ONE and ONLY 427 factory-built/ factory drag--prepped 1966 Shelby Dragonsnake Cobra, built and sold by Shelby for private drag race use. Regards, WJ
