I have seen Billy's cars in person and he represents them exactly as they are. He immediately told me that CSX 2404 was a recreation before I had even looked at it. It is the best recreation I have ever seen, and cars passed off as "original Cobras" have been constructed from less original stuff than this one.

CSX 3346 is the most original 427 Cobra in existence, in my opinion. I am unaware of another one like it. Completely documents from day one, excellent chain of ownership (only 3 owners, including Billy, I recall), and every original piece is there with all the original markings on the drivetrain, that I have never seen before on a Cobra. These were confirmed by a Ford powertrain expert than understood and identified the markings as being correct, while I was standing right there. It is an amazing time capsule that exists no where else.

Congratulations to Billy on this great find!
