Cobra Make, Engine: Enjoyed CSX 2306 as a daily driver and weekend toy. Hooked my brother Jim on Cobras. Sold it to Ned in the spring of 1972.

CSX2306 has undergone further restoration. No longer is it black, but it is now a version of it's original princess blue. It also has dual fours that were not original to the car, but it's "birth" 289 is in a rotting Jeep carcass somewhere in a Mississippi scrapyard, so the setup was a nice option available on the leaf spring cars back in the day. The rear deck emblem is still off center as it was during my custodianship and during the many (interrupted) years that Ned owned it. Shows you that the guys who put those cars together were ordinary folks who did not have computerized machinery to evaluate their every action. Ned says he and I are "off center" just like the emblem. True, but the love of these old cars and the thousands of continuations/replicas/facsimiles makes a lot of hopeless car nuts off center too!
