Karl -

...it's not hardcore skepticism.
I'm just questioning the frequently-quoted line that "..most S/Cs came with 2x4..."
If you lay all the Cobra books out, side by side, you see one author paraphrasing what the other said.
There is so little depth in print about the S/C history.

I just think that more cars came with 1x4 than people think.

I looked thru my files and pulled the data for 8 'well-known' S/Cs:

CSX3015 - Twin Paxton, so, 2x4
CSX3022 - restored to orig - 1x4
CSX3025 - SCG article 1981 - 1x4
CSX3032 - Bill Murray, Shelby Museum - orig config - 1x4
CSX3036 - recent full restoration - 1x4
CSX3039 - Old Car Illustrated article - 1x4
CSX3042 - SAAC-27 Concours winner - 2x4
CSX3052 - original owner - 1x4

Six of the eight have 1x4.

This may be no big deal to most, but if you are a self-admitted buff (like me) the proportion is significant.

(...plus, a little bit of this is just breaking Evan's chops)
