Subtle location chosen for your pics Kurt!
The stripe and roundels have done the trick.
Great job.

It is CSX 2541. I got to drive it after taking the photos. The owner asked me if I wanted to, and I first said "no, thanks". I had never driven a Cobra before, and only been in 1 other one at the time. I came to my senses about 10 seconds later and said, "yes!" I knew I would have kicked myself for not taking that opportunity, and I'm glad I did. I got snake bit on that day. It was amazing. Here are some more photos processed from that shot for a book I made.

CSX 2541 belonged to my good friend Mark Winkelman in north Texas, and it is the first real, original cobra I ever got to touch close up and actually sit in. He would drive it out to our monthly club meetings. I just loved the white and red interior. Eventually he sold it, along with his '68 GT500KR convertible and aquirred original 427 street cobra (I dont have the CSX3### handy). That 427 street version was the first (and only) original cobra I actually have had a ride in! What a thrill, thanks for the memories!

Here's a couple of gents with one of our Superformance 289 FIAs. I understand they may actually know what it is!

The passenger is Ross Henry, the force behind the Hi-Tech Automotive built Superformance (and Shelby) 289s. He has invested years of research and thousands of hours in prototypes and samples to get these to this stage.
