Mecum, Hemmings and others are taking a bit of editorial license when it comes to that description.

CSX2093 was produced as a street car and was modified for drag racing by the owner with parts from Shelby American.

There were a total of six real Dragon Snake Cobras produced by Shelby American, including one 260, four 289s and one 427. Two were raced by Shelby and four were independently campaigned customer cars.
