I have read through the thread and have a few questions.

!. Wasn't the SuperSnake a GT350 one off model? Not the twin supercharged Cobra that two were built(one for Shelby and Cosby)

2. Was the flip-top restored because some time ago I saw pics that looked as if it was fully restored?

3. Did it sell at the last auction recently.

Thanks

2, yes where needed. Engine was replaced with a newer Shelby motor a while back, repainted, etc.
3. Sold to a private collector, left for back east right after the 50th Anniv. at Laguna Seca in Monterey. Had not heard of it being resold after that.


Here is a nice supercars site photo of it taken by Richard Owens at at Monterey / Laguna Seca last year Aug 2012 at the 50th Anniversary.

Nice pics decooney, I have seen it around. Sure looks different from when I was considering purchasing it what seems like a life time ago.

Yes, mine too. Here is my favorite photo (of course ). The feeling of its power and low stance handling from behind the wheel is something I will never forget in my life time. It was an absolute privilege to be given the opportunity to drive it on the track. Gave it a kiss goodbye at the Monterey 50th before it was transferred to the new owner. It still has a few WSCB event stickers on it too!

Wow, that would have been a rare treat. Lucky you!!

Hope I'm not screwing up the thread, but that car is the reason I decided to do a tilt front and hood louvers on mine.

What inspired you for that color combo, it seems like a nice blend. I always favored CSX 3053 Black with the silver stripe.


I have trouble posting pics but if anyone wants I can post pics of 25 plus years ago of flip top, but I'm sure others on here have done so somewhere.
