I just got back from Reno NV yesterday. I put a deposite down on
a CAV Cobra. I even received my CSX number. They had the first CAV car there during the International Chile Cookoff. It was Carroll Shelby's. It was brought into the states not too long ago. The car was shipped to LV and thoroughly checked out by Carroll himself and the rest of the Vegas crew. Overall the car looked great! Carroll would like some minor changes to take place but nothing too drastic. I looked it over for quite awhile and was very impressed. Body, doors, trunk, hood, all looked to be done well. It was painted Guardsman Blue with stripes which looked very nice. Leather interior and carpet were done very well. There was no motor or tranny which was nice because I could really check out the engine compartment. Wiring, plumbing, etc all looked good. My only complaint that I brought up to Jim Wallace, the dealer, was the underside of the hood was painted black but had a kinda rough, textured finish. I asked if that was going to be corrected or covered with the panel kit. He mentioned that the Vegas crew made the same observation. He will get back to me on that. Anyway, I paid $39,995.00 and am
anxiously waiting for December timeframe for it to come in. Got a few things left to do on my 66 427 S/O then I am ready.
