The 'Cosby' twin-Paxton auto-slush-box scary monster car, as Al Dowd and Cosby would confirm, was CSX3303 and ended up in the Pacific with loss of life. (See page 177 of the current Shelby World registry)

Brian Angliss at Autokraft was always on the lookout for unclaimed chassis titles/and or write-offs, so built a brand new 427 around the chassis number and the car was last sold at Coys auction in 1995. It had a manual box, as is right and proper.
