Mecum: CSX 3102

[Don]

1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Roadster - CSX3102, 427/425 HP, 4-Speed

" This car, CSX3102 is the real thing. The second street 427, with many competition features, it’s documented in detail on pages 523/524 of the World Registry of Cobras and GT40s 4th ed. Its first purchaser was a Minnesota buyer whose name remains unknown. Sadly, on a rainy afternoon, he rolled the Cobra, and damaged some of its body panels. Dennis Henningsen, CSX3102’s second owner, had the chassis magnafluxed and found no damage. He contacted Shelby American to purchase replacement alloy body panels. Instead, Carroll Shelby sold him the complete body from CSX3005, (the fourth 427 built), which had been bought just as a chassis, by a Japanese man named George Fujimoto. Dennis Henningsen sold CSX3102 in 1966, before its rebuild was finished. The buyer was Richard J. Schopf, from Louisiana. Schopf completed its reassembly in late 1968, and occasionally raced the 427 at drag strips in the New Orleans area. "
