The missing link
I had never seen a good picture of CSX 2142 until I saw this in Rinsey Mills book: AC Cobra - the Truth behind the Anglo-American Legend
The car was originally raced with a hardtop. Without it, you can see where they got the 427 body shape. It even has a rivetted hood scoop. http://www.erareplicas.com/history/289race/csx2142.jpg |
Bob...there had to be some serious body work since 2142 was raced.
This is 2142 in its day... http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...80cs2142-2.jpg It still had the slab-wells, with a bit of a forward-flare on the rear arches...but definitely not the rounded-rump as shown today. |
Looks VERY Different
Ron, also now has an oil cooler cut-out,
smaller things looks like a different rearview mirror, and missing those auxiliary driving lights on the quick-jacks. Shaps |
