Would you believe that there are 12 in town that I know about - there was only one real Cobra at the thingy on Saturday , a red 289 car.... I was answering Mike's question about last year.....

Mulv,

I just e-mailed Gary Patterson at Shelby American and got his return e-mail stating that there were only 19 CSX1000 series Cobras sold worldwide. The chances of 12 being in one place at one time are extremely unlikely. Are you SURE they were all 1000 series and not 4000 series?

CSX2000 , I wasn't thinking of replicas and just hit the wrong key... You seem a little wound up about it - frankly what difference does it make? The car in the photo and the red one at the show are both real Cobras CSX2000 cars... I fixed my typo..

I do not consider either the 1000 or 4000 cars to be real Cobras any more than a Factory Five, Kirkham or Superformance although all are nice replicas.. Neither do the people who own 2000 and 3000 cars, just ask them. I have been around this block before and I do not care to re-visit this dead horse - you have my opinion and that of virtually all of the guys who own the cars made in the 60's. Be happy, I am sure your cars are really nice.

Not wound up at all, Mulv. I just knew that more than likely, you didn't see 12 CSX1000 series cars at once. And it really doesn't make any difference at all, does it? I guess you are right about 1000 & 4000 series Cobras not being real Cobras. Oh wait, don't they have CSX numbers and Shelby American stamped on them? Then who built them? I know where you are coming from...just yanking your chain! That subject will never die, will it? OF COURSE 2,3000 series owners think that way, duh! And thank you for the kind comment. Done!
