I'm guessing the guy who purchased 6 of them is some sort of dealer. If you look at the history of any CSX Cobra touted as special, anniversary or limited by Shelby in the past 10 years you will notice that they command BIG bucks when it comes time to offer them to the market.

The "sold out immediately" sounds like what we call today "alternative facts."

Made the mirror setup on my Allen Grant tribute car many many moons ago.

Migge, I agree with both Peter and Larry, and think you did a great deal of homework and it shows. Nice Job and you have every reason to be proud of what you achieved,

Thanks Ross. I just wanted to show that the "Sebring limited edition cars" in my case the "Coventry Motor Cars" Cobra had some special features that could be explored by finding old pictures from 1963 or 1964. I was just wondering why nobody else who has build the "Executor" as a tribute car, did that research. And other people or companies have much better possibilities to find out some unique car details.
