Just to get things started again. I have looked in my extensive library on Cobra's and they all agree that CSX 2000 stood for Carroll Shelby Experimental!!! ALL. So what are we left with, Shelby American always referred to a CSX Carroll Shelby Experimental Ford in all in office memos refrred as CSX as Carroll Sheby Experimental . So we are left AC ,who produced the frame and body (but had no part in making it a great race car or legendary street car)for CSX 2000 but after that just happened to fit there serial numbers????? Yeah right. AC wanted to keep there hand in. But even they farmed out the bodies in the 60's , So what are we left with SAAC, so when started in 1976 was a bunch of Hot Rodders who had no connection with Shelby-Ford-AC. And they do a great job, Shelby was gone and Ford wanted nothing to do with Cobra (gas guzzler, insurance nightmare). So what are we left with 2 out of 3. So CSX stands for Carroll Shelby Experimental Boom Done.
