    Hi,
    I was a excited teenager fan and photographer when the Cobras made their awesome first appearances. Those really were the good ol' days. Got some interesting photos from Elkhart in the early and mid 60s. My immediate interest is to learn the chassis number of the #82 Shelby GT350 that ran at Sebring in 1966. Entered by Terry Kohler and driven, along with a couple others, by Walt Biddle. I worked for Walt at his import dealership in central Wisconsin and helped crew the little Sprite that he normally raced. My family had bought a new MGA from him in 1959, my first introduction to him. He and his wife Olive were nice people. I drove some fun things at the dealership (ie. new Sunbeam Tiger)! The GT350 was certainly the biggest thing he ever raced!

    Do you have a picture of Kohler's car? I think he ran an R-model. I may have some pictures of the car...
