Monterey Auction: CSX 2005, in addition to SunDude's posting.
From Hemmings.com:
“ In the early days of Cobra production, back when a Ford 260-cu.in. V-8 with a two-barrel carburetor was the engine of choice, Carroll Shelby couldn’t afford to have dissatisfied customers. Had CSX2005 not broken down on its first owner’s cross-country trip, the car would never have starred in Ronald Reagan’s last big-screen movie, and stars like James Garner (and potentially Steve McQueen) may never have wheeled the car around Riverside courtesy of the Carroll Shelby School of High Performance Driving. History, however, scripted things differently, and when the 1962 Shelby 260 Cobra carrying chassis number CSX2005 crosses the stage this August in Pebble Beach, the fifth Cobra built brings with it a very interesting history. -
