Anyone have any information on this DRAGONSNAKE?
I'm looking for any information that anyone can give me on CSX 2353. This is the Siebens-Skinner car, for some reason is was thought to be the Siebens-sidel car, which as you can see it is Skinner, this car has been sitting on a friend of mine frame rack since the late 70's. Were trying to see if there is any race history on the car, or any other information or pictures anyone can provide would be great. As you see the car was wrecked sometime in the mid 70’s. We are getting ready to restore the car and are just looking for information on it. The odometer still shows 640 miles. Thanks for any help.

It only has 28 miles on it, it was wrecked on a test drive from the dealership http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/pict...d=1058&thumb=1 http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/pict...d=1059&thumb=1 http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/pict...d=1060&thumb=1 |
Hey,
What a great car !!! Please think twice before restoring this car. Even with the damage it is an amazing example of an original car. Like they say, "a car is only original once." Remember the lost/Spector's blue coupe ??? Just give it a good bath and general detailing. Best, BC |
WOW! What a find! DO NOT restore that car, clean it up, get it running, leave all the history intact. Better yet , drag it over to the SAAC convention at BeaveRun, it would be the hit of the show.

Here's a old CC thread regarding the Dragonsnake:

Check out the ignition coil on the firewall. Is that an old Mallory piece.
|
Leave it original, scratches and all, like someone else pointed out they are original only once. My old GT350 looks tired but it's original and people appreciate it more that way. Great little Cobra, bring it out and let people see that piece of history.

What a great car! |
What a POS - all dusty and stuff, taken up space in that garage. I give you 150 bucks for it - CASH !:D
|
Please... restore it as little as possible. (or not at all!)
And update us as you go. Check with SAAC for more info about the car. Larry |

The car wasn't wreaked in a race. It was wreaked after 1974 on a frontage road in front of Salt Walther's lot.
|
I'll bet it's hard to stop a Cobra without front brakes on the street.
|
Have more pictures of the car? I would love to see the interior, and more exterior shots too.

Heres more pictures as requested. As you can see he has a original set of fenders to fix the car.

Here is a picture of the Spector coupe that is now owned by
the Simeone Foundation. Here's the link to Jay talking about it and driving it. All they did was clean it up a bit and fix the mechanicals. http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/video/...tml?vid=519722 |
