If it has a CSX number, original or fake number, you'll know pretty quick all about the car! Virtually ALL of the CSX cars are known, cataloged, and "tracked" closely. Virtually impossible at this point in time to "fake" an original IF the CSX number is known and is in the registry (and that just about 100% of the cars).
Ha ha,,, the ones I love are the: "Original 1965 Cobra assembled in 2002 from "parts" found in the old Shelby warehouse (barn or where ever). Car number CSX-XXXX. To easy! Just look up the number in the registry and ALL will be known!
I wonder if this one is actually a COB car, NOT a CSX car. COB, all though very nice, and one might "claim" it as an "original" Cobra it is NOT a Shelby Cobra. That CSX prefix is everything!
