Rear fenders too narrow/tall/vertical, or whatever, for CSX.

Looks exactly like one them continuation cars to me... or whatever they call them new-fangled CSX cars that Evan says ain't real. Yep, spot on to my eyes.  I say we be nice to the new guy, too. |

I guess to respond to why I bought it ... I have been buying and sellling cars for more then 20 years, many exotics, Ferraris, Porsches and the like. I just recently purchased the Cobra and had the opportunity to sell it the next day for a $19,000 profit, but have decided I like it would like to keep it for awhile. After researching Cobras a bit, I have become somewhat familiar with them, and it was my thinking that a forum such as this might be an avenue to learn more about the car from people whose expertise exceeded my own.

Sounds like a nice deal. What did you pay for it and what are the specs of the engine? And just ignore a lot of the guys on here -- they're no doubt jealous of the killer deal you got. |

What is it?
Show me the chassis photos, foot-boxes, front and rear suspension, trunk photos.
So far car looks suspect, but the photos should clear things up, really.

I like it. We have another long standing CC member here, Evan (Real1) that has a CSX car that looks quite similar, to my eye at least.

Come on Patrick, cut the new guy a little slack. At any rate, Evan is chasing Vipers at the moment. |

No, for real...those are the woodscrews Carroll personally used on all of the cars he finished!
You walked away from a 19K scooby-lick and KEPT the car?

Please post the pictures I asked for so I can properly identify the Cobra for what it is or is not.
