I’ve been delinquent in posting my photos from this year’s Monterey Car Week, so here goes...
My first stop was the Carmel-by-the-Sea Concours on the Avenue, which featured 12 original 289 and 427 Cobras in honour of the car's 50th anniversary. Here they are in order of appearance.
CSX2100
CSX2367
CSX2393 - The owner drove this car all the way from his home in Minnesota.
CSX3142, narrow hip roadster
CSX2472, an original Dragon Snake
CSX2522, equipped with the Slalom Snake package
CSX3345, a 427 street Cobra modified to "semi-competition" specification
CSX2253

CSX2178
CSX2543
CSX2387
CSX3232, another 427 street Cobra modified to "semi-competition" specification
The official Cobra team transporter (which sold at RM Auctions later that week for $900,000).
I also caught a glimpse of CSX2419 looking for a parking spot in Carmel. This car was also seen at the McCall Motorworks Revival and the Monterey Historics.
