You correct. CSX2000 could be considered pre-production. C.S. owns it, and it is kept at Shelby headquarters.

And that is a real, real nice car!

Anthony was there with ONE of his TWO... REAL... Full Competition Cobras too. He always has one of them at both the Bob's Big Boy meet in Burbank on Fridays, and the Valley Circle meet on Sundays. He's a great guy, and loves answering questions about his cars.

It's so cool to see such rare, AWESOME, Cobras actually driven to these events. My hat is off to these guys. These cars should be driven, that's what they are for!




Here is a great little video with Anthony talking about his two Cobras...

This very cool little street Cobra was at Valley Circle too. It was a GREAT turn out on Sunday.. as you can tell.

There were also some VERY nice cars from Factory Five, SuperFormance, ERA, and others. It was a great turn out of just about every type of hot rod you could imagine.

Very cool history you saw there. The one response was correct, CSX2000 is at the Las Vegas Shelby museum and painted blue, this car ( CSX2001) was the first car sold to the public. CSX2002 was the first Cobra raced, wire wheels and all. It was raced by Billy Kraus, his lt rear wheel fell off after leading most of the race. He never raced a Cobra again. CSX2002 is at the Miller Motorsport museum in Utah. Thanks for sharing your pics.

That might be the nicest cobra I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing.

Does anyone know what that car has for tires?
