Okay, did anyone else notice that CSX2000 had a small dent on the upper lip of the front snout while it was on display at Laguna Seca? It looked like it had been rolled into a square post corner.
Somewhere there is a guy thinking, "I can't believe I dented the very first Cobra..."

I was there when they were rolling the CSX2000 into position on Wednesday...I don't remember seeing any dent; however, it was gone from the display for some time during the weekend.

Uhhhh, I dunno... He has the keys... His hand is gesturing right AT the dent I spotted... (Look closely on the snout lip just above the grill third vertical from the right.) Is this the man behind the dent???
We may never know.

I don't see a dent. Does anyone else? Looks like reflections...

So, back to the original question:
What defines "significant"? Racing history? The supermodel that lost her virginity on the back fender? Highest speed? Most famous owner?
We can list them all out, and do a elimination matrix to work the list down to the top ten. I think it's easier to just say I've never met a (original) Shelby Cobra that I didn't like. Though it is not the norm, I have seen some scary replica's, the worst of which was on "To Catch a Predator"...

Oh, oh, oh! Here's an idea... Let's tart our own Top 10 List here. Each person can only add ONE item in the current top 10 item list. Once the 10th item has been posted, it's up to the next person (or last poster) to start the subject of the next top 10 list. The originator can post the first item. Has to be Cobra related. OK, I'll start.

Manual choke when I got the car as I thought it would help for driving it in the winter. Took it off 6 months later when I decided they were for sissies.
