Hal Keck wheels his Cobra 427 into the 90 under a hot August sun in the 1965 Watkins Glen 500 miles race followed by the # 18 Cobra co-driven by Sidney Finkel, Ed Lowther, and Bob Nagel. Keck and Oscar Kovaleski took the checkered flag after more than 5 hours. The number 88 car won 9 races that year and the SCCA championship.
Jim Danzer was the mechanic. Hal also co-drove the Cobra Daytona coupe in 1965, taking a first in GT class at the 24 Hours of Daytona. The following year, the Glen 500 was shortened to a 500 Kilometer race. Kovaleski went on to win the SCCA National Championship in 1969 .
The first several big block cars Carroll Shelby made were full race cars, and this one was chassis # CSX 3008. While most of the cars stayed with Shelby or went to larger teams, Keck’s was privately owned.
