Great pictures and it souds as if you are having the kind of weather we are. Except we seem to be getting a lot more wind than normal. It has blown so hard the last two days it is miserable to get outside with all of the dust flying. Enjoy the nice weather while it lasts because it may change soon.

10 above here this morning after the last couple of days it feels like a heat wave. 18 below yesterday am. Spring is going to be especially wonderful this year course it always is. Seeing these beautiful cars sure makes me long to see ours again.

You guys suck!! It's only gonig to be about -20 to -30 degrees (Thurs.) tonight w/wind chill. My baby won't see the road until about mid April if I'm lucky! Enjoy it M8's; At least I wont be suffering during the summer when it's 110+ degrees in a AC cockpit down there ! Awsome rides by the way !

PS CSX 3020 sure reminds me of my ride, same color even the rims. Minus the decals & race shield thou.

Wow - thanks for confirming that this is actually CSX 3020 and for the extra photos. I just don't expect to see CSX3... cars out in the open!

George, your car is in my opinion the perfect example of what Cobras were all about. The fact that you still drive it is all the more impressive. Thanks for the message too - you certainly have an incredible collection of toys. Stunning!

Sorry I haven't learned (taken time how) to post any photo's yet. My ERA #483 is a factory built roller of Dick Smiths #198 (CSX 3015) if I remember 198's CSX# correctly. My engine is the original (1965) series build #508 Holmon/Moody 427 (C5AE-H) sideoiler. Yes, #508 survived; amazing isn't it! The two; 3015 & my ERA were @ the summer outing in New Hampshire this past summer put on by CCX 1985. 3015 was there because it is being upgraded by Acton Customs/Nick Acton for it's new owners. It's awsome how much 3015 & 3020 look alike. I seem to remember seeing a picture many years ago of the two parked together somewhere. I wish I had some photos of 3015 & my AC taken back at the summer outing. Then you could see how much the three look alike. OK, so I do have Hoosier billboards on mine, not Goodyear. As soon as the winter ends & I get the Mauler back out; I'll grab some good spring photo's & post.

PS: If anyone needs original AC parts of almost any type. You will be hard pressed to find a better source than Acton Customs! This is not a endorsement. Just a fact!
