Cobra427,
HST did complete cars but supposedly for out of country delivery only. Don't recall about this one. There's quite a bit of what us hobbyists would call 'strange dealings' with some CSXs, particularly HSTs. Like warehouses with built and unbuilt cars, offers of unsold rollers, 'deals' from quasi private parties (investors), etc. You know, regular stuff around this hobby.

There was one at the Shelby Legacy Bank show this July so maybe that was the 1st one but I thought they built 3 of them in total. Next time I see Bill Neale I'll ask him.........

Why is the rear license plate off to the side and not in the middle of the trunk...

Gary,
I was going by the info in the latest registry. There may be more but I've got my reservations about this CSX4954 being one.

Tony,
I'll post a link to this Cobra's plaque when I get home. There's no 'LA' on the number

Man that cam is perfect, that's music to my ears, reminds me of what I had in 3183. The idle is set perfectly, if that motor don't sound bad to you, your living in a dream world.

Barely able to stay running, you can hear each cylinder firing, now somebody get me that cam info, so I can duplicate that sound.

I loved that lopey sound too. My engine was the same, but fuel injected and it took a while to get it to work at 6000' but once it did, it was great. I am going to do an X-pipe on my Ford GT so it might sound a little more like the Cobra. I don't want to hear it, I want to feel it

I wasn't saying that all of the CF cars were Mexico cars, only that two of the LA series cars were. This is my recollection from the registry. I believe another one or two CF cars were produced after the registry.
