The last paragraph is incorrect. The COB/COX cars should not be listed under "big block" Cobras since they weren't big blocks. That should read "coil spring." Nor were there 32 of them; there were 27 in total plus 5 bare chassis that were commissioned for Paramount Pictures for use as movie props with custom body work. These were never Cobras, so those are the 5 chassis that were removed from the claimed 1003 production total to arrive at the final number of 998.
