After the Holidays Party

The After the Holidays Party was held on Saturday, January 17 at Plank’s Cafe & Pizzeria in Columbus. Several members of the Ohio Cobra Club joined us for a fun evening, which included a White Elephant gift exchange. Everyone was having such a great time that no posed photos were taken, but enjoy these candid shots from the night!

Pittsburgh World of Wheels

We had a great time at the Pittsburgh World of Wheels Show! In addition to selling sweepstakes tickets, we added to the fun by showcasing fellow Cobra owners and their cars. From left to right: 2026 LCS Sweepstakes Car, Dan "Dan 54" Cirell, Terry Umbaugh, and Vytas Mickus.

Even though the show was cut short by the snowstorm, it was still a success —and congratulations to Vytas for taking home the Outstanding Full / Radical / Handbuilt Custom award for his 1965 Daytona Coupe -- a true race car!

A special thank you to the Cobra Owners of Western PA for helping us sell tickets!

Seeking a Hurricane Motorsports HM2000-2042

A lifelong Lake City, Iowa resident and dedicated Cobra enthusiast is searching for a Hurricane Motorsports replica HM2000-2042, preferably a project car. These cars were originally built in Lake City, and they feel it is important for the community to have one preserved locally as a piece of automotive history.

Anyone from the club or show community who may have information or leads on one for sale is encouraged to reach out and help in this search.
