Rodney, I am a new comer to the world of glasspar roadster. I have aquired a very rough example with a hemi engine. It was found in Naples,fl and the owner purchased it in Penscola after college. About forty years ago, he thought it was a cobra and dragged it home where it rested till now. I am interested in any info. Thanks
