Sal, I'm aware of those cars, but I did not think Brian built a 3060.

In any project, it takes a team to complete something , in the 1960s Shelby American was just one team that was able to use FORD engines, and AC chassis with some sweat equity and hard work to finish the cars. if shelby HAD NOT come along there might have been a few other AC cars built but possibly not to the level they have been built up to today.
if there is one thing Carroll is good at, it is getting people exited about an idea.

We know Brian has built several cars with unusual VINs, but using the VIN of an S/C that was never built in the original 60's production and then adding a 1 at the end makes no sense at all. Can anyone shed any light on this? :confused:

Ned,
The information that I posted was paraphrased from reading the CSX 3060 entry in the new registry a day earlier.
You must know who the registrar is for the completion cars... Why not ask the registrar? |

1ntCobra,
Could you tell me what page of the new registry that the information about CSX 3060 is on? I have looked for it in mine and mine goes to 3055 and then the next one listed is 3063. Is it in some special place or is my registry just missing some?
Thanks,
Ron :confused:

The completion cobras have their own section separate from the original cobras. It might be right before the continuation cobras section. There is a table of contents somewhere that is helpful. |

Ron,
I know Ned is the registrar for the original cobras. I assumed that Ned was not the registrar for the completion cobras since he seemed unfamiliar with the entry that lists CSX 3060 that mentions the fake CSX 3060. I thought if Ned wrote that, he would recall it instantly since apparently his memory is much better than mine.
By the way, since at least you and I know who the Kirkham registrar is, I was wondering why his picture was not included with the pictures of the other registrars in the beginning of the registry... :confused: |

1ntCobra,
Thanks for the information. I haven't spent a lot of time with mine yet and have just glanced through the index. I guess I should take some time and get familiar with it as I have spent most of my time reading about the Daytonas and Gt-40s.
Ron :)

Semantic's
I usually try not to get involved in these types of "verbal banter" threads....but some times I cannot restrain myself...
"Real 1" ...I believe does not have a Cobra anymore???
I have built and helped many builds over the years and there are very many
varied types of Cobra owners....Some just want a Cobra because it looks good!.......Some because it's fast!.... Some because it's the ultimate MACHO
machine!.... And some because it cost the most!!!
The "REAL" Cobra ...I can guarantee you does not give the owner any more driving pleasure than the "cheap" replica does,...In fact the owner of the "REAL" one probably is so busy being the "Owner of the REAL one" that the pleasure part of it does not even matter!!:D

Yes, I am familiar with the completion cars registry entry as it relates to "both" of the 3060 cars. I am also familiar with the car supposedly numbered 30601 by Brian Angliss, as this is not its first appearance at Barrett-Jackson; it was there several years ago and advertised as CSX 3060. What I question is the idea that Angliss built it in the 70's and actually numbered it 30601. I suspect it was originally built later than that, and was initially numbered 3060, and then had the 1 added to its VIN to differentiate it from the car that Shelby built through McCluskey as a completion car.

Ned, what happens in Vegas...

If the BJ 3060 was not built by McC or Anglis that would justify the low sale price, which may be right on target for this car. That would also explain it's less than steller accuracy to original detail.
Question then becomes: WHO did build it? What alloy body might have been used for it's construction?

Jamo, we all know the Vegas slogan, but the SEMA show is coming up and it's a sure thing we'll all be reading about what was there in every automotive publication out there, as well as right here at CC. So I'm not sure everyone buys into that Vegas concept. Maybe it's supposed to be limited to what we do with all those, ah, handouts that the corner-workers thrust into your hands as you walk along the strip. You know - the ones that are advertising all kinds of body parts unrelated to automobiles.:JEKYLHYDE

We each no doubt strive to own that which gives us the most pleasure both in driving and ownership experience.

Now I'm more confused. I got the impression that 30601 was the fake CSX 3060 from the registry. Is the auction car not 30601, but yet a different fake CSX 3060? |
