I don't see anything wrong with his question - appears to just be trying to fill in some blanks. I have several old cars and thus my own knowledge of Cobras is a little shallow. But I also know a reasonable bit about Corvette and Mopar history and background too. I actually was thinking the CSX 4000 cars were the "found chassis" cars - silly me. Not everyone can know everything about something unless it is their one and only sole passion.
