Are these of your father's car?
The vintage photos from that site may well be CSX2049, but I can assure you with 100% certainty that the two modern-day pictures listed on their "cars" page as "Shelby Cobra 289 Kirkham" and "Shelby Cobra 289 Chassis number CSX2049" are the exact same car.
Compare the two pictures below. The red fender stripe has been photoshopped in and the pattern of the rust stains and marks on the undercar exhaust pipes as well as various other marks and reflections on the body are identical.
Not sure what this implies though.





Apologies for the large format linked pics
