I saw the small block referenced in this link auctioned at Amelia Island for $1.6 MM in 2006. Around that time I gave up the hope of owning an original. It was a beautiful car.

Superformance made the dream come true for me.

Watched Mecum at Monterey yesterday. High bid on CSX 2093 was $750,000. I believe it was a no sale. With Cobra values seeming to go no where but up, any explanation for this car? |

Other than display it in a museum-like environment, what can you do with this car? You can't drive it and you can't race it.
It is not a factory-built Dragonsnake...it was born a street car. |

Don't have an explanation.
But I know for a fact that the Costilow and Larson car is NOT a DragonSnake. They originally bought the car off Ladd Motors used car lot in Lebanon, Pa (between Harrisburg and Lancaster). Bruce Larson and the Shelby American World Registry confirm that.
Those bozos on the Mecum broadcast, and whoever wrote the description in the auction catalog, wouldn't know a DragonSnake if it bit them. I guess they think that if it has a picture of a Cobra with wheels, that makes it a DragonSnake.
My old ride had a picture of a Cobra with wheels, too. But the Baldwin Motion King Cobra was also a street car converted to drag race configuration.
I've talked with both Bruce and Ed Hedrick about the Costilow and Larson Cobra. What an awesome car. Bruce sold at the right time. Ed and I commiserated about selling when we did.
