No offense to Mr. Cage, but I note you just signed that one.
Not yours. This guy owned it.
"I'd love to believe it's still out there. From all the reports I've gathered, there is no mention of the car after October, 1969. I've sold a few celebrity cars and timing is everything when it comes to flushing them out of hiding. Morrison's Shelby didn't materialize when that Oliver Stone movie on the Doors appeared in 1991. That would've been the ideal time to sell the car.
There are a million possibilities on the whereabouts of that Shelby. I've seen car fanatic collections where there were over 200 of the same year, make and model sitting in garages. Some owners forget where and when they bought them. The nice ones are inside and clean, many others sit outdoors or languish in sheds. Morrison's car could be in one of those scenarios."
More Evidence Indicating Destruction of Jimbo's Car: In an interview with Vince Treanor, Doors stage manager for a book chronicling Jac Holzman's business venture in Elektra Records, He recalled Jim Morrison's reckless behaviour in one telling incident. "He piled up his Cobra, destroyed the damn thing. Bill Siddons got the tow truck to go get it before the police picked it up. I saw a picture of that car. Nobody could have survived it, and yet he walked away. stone cold drunk on his ass,"
I'd have it, regardless of condition. Preferably alive, obscure, still capable of throwing open the doors of perception. Or buried in the yard in the wrong size plot.

By the way, one of the best reasons to build a time machine. Jim would be cool with it, drive the Cobra through the time portal and fuck with the 21st century foxes.
