Well 1 day to go on Ebay ...$500 on there .... My mind is startin to play games with my brain with what little is left . Really having second thoughts about selling . Then I think of it just sitting in a closet for 30 years .. Have 3 guys making "offer's" back an forth . I can still stop the auction on one hand but then I think about leaving it and seeing where it will go . What a weird feeling . Can't imagine what it would be like selling the car !!

Hey guys,
I have a Jacket from the 60's or 70's that Craig Singhus (Motor
Week) gave my son, when we bought his car. Its a medium blue
color silk or satin. has the Black cobra on the back and the tag on
the collar says "Made for Carroll Shelby" was told he got it from an
Employee of Carrols. I never look at the jacket that hard until now
when I saw what these type of jackets bring...I will try and take a
few pictures of it for those that are interested in this type of thing.
Cevon...

Ps, Couple of years ago my wife was cleaning up my sons room
and asked me if it should go to "Good Will"!! Im glade I was in the
same room!..hehehehehe....Some homeless person would have
been walking around DC. with a expensive jack on..
