I went back and looked up "CSX" in some of my books about Shelby and Cobra's and in one on one interviews and in "as dictated by Carroll Shelby" he states the "X" is for eXperimental. In these they also quoted from in house memos at Shelby American about the "X" stands for eXperimental. I know AC Cars LTD noted the "X" stands for eXport, but we all know AC was a subcontractor to Shelby American. Shelby American is the manufacturer of record. So who do you believe?? Like I said a gray area.
