GT has what I would like to have in my garage... Old 3020! Close, very close second would be CSX3034.... Awesome! Everyone is dreaming now! :LOL:

The 1965 ESSEX Wire company owned 427 Cobra that was called "Ollie The Dragon" and is according to the fact sheet the winningest Cobra ever made. Ran as # 91 and was driven by Skip Scott, Dr. Dick Thompson, and Ed Lowther.

Did you say CSX3020? It would be near the top of my list.

It would have to be this car ...

as it won the 66 24 Le Mans with 2 Kiwis driving.

edit: Denny Hulme, Chris Amon and Bruce McLaren IMO made a hell of a team.

I'd love to have AC COB6124, or Lynn Park's USRRC 289.

Me 3! Don't think I'd complain about any one of the comp cars 260 - 427

Lynn Park's "Dirtbag", the faded yellow 289 Cobra with the worn seats and carpeting!

WarrenG 11-19-2009 06:03 PM

289 slab side street car with wire wheels.:cool:

I'd be happy with any one of the original big block Cobras...in any condition, as long as I was able to bring it back and drive it...it's gotta be driven.

rollinggeorge 11-19-2009 06:52 PM

There has to be one **)**)**)

I'd just keep mine but burn race fuel exclusively :eek:
I like my car and it drives as good as it looks. :MECOOL::cool::)

So y'all can pick from the rest for your pipe dream :JEKYLHYDE:JEKYLHYDE

I'd have the first Cobra I saw back in '64 or '65. The son of the Ford dealer had it for about 30 minutes. He lost it on the first curve he came to.

I think I would take this one.
Great history to this car, and looks good.

Don't know the CSX number (CSX2001?), but I'd be after the most valuable Cobra in the mix: the very first slabside Cobra that Shelby stuffed the 260 into and "went looking for Vette's". I believe this is still in his personal collection, though last time I saw it it was in a hideous metal-flake blue.

damdfw 11-19-2009 08:24 PM

I agree and that would be CSX2000.
