Well, I'm not afraid to throw a red flag on the play and ask for an official review of the tape. I sent this via Mecum's web site:


Hi,

Can you please verify that the car listed here:

1966 Shelby Cobra Roadster for sale by Mecum Auction

is really a Shelby CSX 4000 series car? There is very little resemblance to a genuine CSX 4000/6000 series car and would really like to hope that the claim that it is CSX4774 is a typographical error. I owned one myself and there are too many wrong details - like the orientation of the roll bar (a Cobra 427 would anchor the roll bar in the trunk, and a 289 car would be in the front of the passenger foot well, but none have ever anchored it in the area of the transmission tunnel. Other details are the dash and gauges, interior trim like inside doors and transmission tunnel, and the battery (which would be 2x6V behind the passenger seat or a 12V in the trunk.

I would strongly encourage you to verify the claim that this is a Shelby Continuation Cobra.

Thanks
