Either way if ERA used CSX2345, they performed a lot of magic to correct the rear fender, or it has been wrecked since. Or the it's possible that the museum has mis-labled that one too? http://shelbyamericancollection.org/...289cobra.shtml
I believe that 2345 had only the passenger side rear fender damaged.

I just did a search and found that the fender was damage in 1964...

Here is a picture I took at SAAC 31 of the driver's side of CSX2345, which you can see is not damaged.

Well, they are all different (like everyone always says), and they are all beautiful despite thier flaws. And Phil has managed to find the right combo of all the best elements, because I still love the ERA rendition of this particular car.
My thoughts are still if you want the best looking 289 kit on the market, you cannot go wrong with ERA. Too many of the others look like a 427 with a different grill on the front, and a different roll bar. They just don't go far enough to capture the sublety's of this car.

Here is a link to an interesting thread I started a couple years ago about the accuracy of the Kirkham FIA body:

To my eye 2345 looks EXACTLY like the car that sits in my garage - except mine is a tad darker blue, without stripes, and has a chrome roll bar (and a wooden steering wheel). Would like to visit the Boulder museum to see that collection.
